The Movie's Hot, Really Hot

I just came back from the movie theater, where I went to see the new Bond, James Bond. I've never been a die-hard fan of the franchise, but even though I've never been wildly anticipating the next installment in the series, I've usually enjoyed the movies.
When I first saw the preview for Casino Royale, I thought it looked good. And now that I've finally seen the film, all I can say is: wow!
With a plot that's, for once (at least in the recent past), not only intelligible but also plausible, the movie takes you on a rollercoaster from beginning (incredible "jump chase") to end (I won't say anything), and all the time you're rooting for Bond, James Bond, to kick ass. More ass. And talking about Bond, Daniel Craig is superb. I loved Pierce Brosnan, but I didn't cry "heresy" when I saw the secret agent's new face. I thought I should wait until I had seen the movie before praising or condemning Craig. And just in case you didn't see this coming, I loved him. I think he does a terrific job in bringing Double Oh to life, and he deserves all the accolades he's been getting.
The Bond girl, on the other hand… Well… She does a good job, and I'm sure Nash here undoubtedly thinks she's gorgeous, but I completely disagree. I was less than impressed with her in Kingdom of Heaven, and so I remain. But she does the job, and since -and now that I think about it- I've never been too fond of any Bond girl in the past (except for Sophie Marceau), I shouldn't be surprised this one doesn't cut it either.
Still, it's a great movie, and its almost two and half hours fly by so fast you'll be amazed it was actually that long. So do yourselves a favor, and go see it as soon as you can. Hey! Even the car is almost as cool as mine!
