I am going to go out on a limb perhaps but I have seen every James Bond Film and IMO this was the best film of the lot. And to be honest I think it's much better than what is in second place!Firstly This was the only film that didn't seem like a cartoon with an unstoppable super hero character but a real killing machine. In fact while I was watching Daniel Craig in the role I felt I was watching a human shark. He portrayed the role with ferociousness. Connery played it debonair Craig is playing it raw with tremendoue physicality. I understand he did many of his own stunts.
This film gives Bond a real personae - and for the first time a true character ark.
As an added bonus - the fight scenes in this bond actually seem realistic as if someone is really trying to kill bond and that bond could actually be harmed (and is on occasion) and not your usual "the bad guys can;t hit the broad side of a barn.
Kudos to the entire crew and to Daniel Craig for overcoming the pre naysayers. And for the first time in a long time the Bond girls are actually believable people and so for that matter are the criminals.
Not only is this a very good Bond film -- it's a very good film.
