Review: The first Bond movie with Daniel Craig is directed by the same guy who did the first with Pierce Brosnan. Not unlike Skyfall, the movie starts with a lot of action and then cools down. Actually the only thing I remembered from seeing this movie in the cinema was the long poker scene. The movie contais much more than that and is not too bad in fact, only too long towards the end. There are no over-the-top action scenes, but still enough action, and more slow scenes which reveal us more about Bond. In fact the movie is supposed to show some of his first assignments, ones that have forged his character.
Rating: 7 /10
