Brit critics excited about new Bond

Telegraph | News | Strong yet sensitive, introducing the Bond that bleeds: "'It's terrific,' said one critic. 'This is going to be the prequel to all other Bonds. There are a lot of fans who prefer either Moore or Connery but Craig could be better.

'This will make Craig a worldwide star. The James Bond films are watched absolutely everywhere.'

'Casino Royale is the story of how Bond got started, before he became 007,' he said. 'Daniel Craig is such a good actor. He plays him as strong but emotionally vulnerable. For the first time you see Bond's sensitive side.'

There is no sexual innuendo in this film; Craig's Bond is more sophisticated than that. And the film makers have been sure to show the consequences of violence — he bleeds."
