Quite Good, Mr. Bond

The only thing I didn’t like about Casino Royale was that it is rated PG-13. However, Daniel Craig is an excellent James Bond. He has an edge that no prior actor has been able to give the part. I think Timothy Dalton tried to make him edgy, to differentiate himself from Roger Moore, but the performance was just as hollow as Moore’s. I daresay Craig is better than Connery. Craig has the physicality (is that a word?) that makes the stunts he pulls off believable. Heresy, I know, but I won’t make a final judgment until we get to see a couple more installments.
Update: I dug out the only James Bond music I have - Moby’s version. It’s way too pretty for this new movie. Way too slick. It fits better with the Brosnan movies. The new movie needs something more metal or industrial. More brutal.
