After watching the latest Bond flick, Casino Royale, i am compelled to write something about it. But I must confess that as I came out of the movie hall I felt a flush of adrenaline in my body and rode off on my bike to my place at a terrific speed. Such was the effect of the swashbuckling british secret agent. I have seen many Bond films and this is the only one close to reality. The starting action sequence was a harbinger of what was to come : a bond not detached from reality(earlier bonds seemed to have been imported from utopia, nevertheless, it was fun watching the utopian bond), a story reflective of the current global problem( i.e. terrorism) and ofcourse the usual Bond accompaniments like the aston martin, wonderful scenery and literary rich language sans expletives. From Daniel craig's physique to not so suave demeanour is a welcome surprise and has also earned him the tag of best bond after sean connery. But i think it would be unfair to both the bonds to compare them because they were products of their era. Comparison betweeen Pierce Bronsnan and Craig may be legitimate. Whatever may be the debate, its a superb movie and I am already awaiting the next flick.
