This a cut and paste of my review from my blog:

A few months ago, one of my ignorant friends said that since I was a James Bond fan and "all" James Bond fans apparently hate Daniel Craig, that means that I hate Daniel Craig. Well I never ever said that I hated Daniel Craig. At the time he got the role of 007 I said that we should wait and see the film, although I will admit to loving the headline "Double-0-Zero", a reference to Craig's underwhelming performance at his first press conference after landing the role.



I hoped that Craig would restore some much-needed grit to the Bond franchise after the Brosnan years, in which Bond seemed to have a gadget for each and every little thing. Much of the media said that Bond needed to be stripped back to his roots, although this was the same media that was praising the invisible car and other similar crass inclusions in the Bond series. I fully agreed that Bond needed to be stripped back
