Bond is back, with a great mixture of old and new. We come away intensely caring for this hero who is seen by some as a vestige of a vanished era. We learn more about Bond and those we have associated with him in over 50 years of films. Javier Bardem, as Silva, plays a truly menacing villain. Judi Dench continues to play a great "M". Daniel Craig gives us a great insight into Bond, a combination of toughness and hurt. Locations are great like those expected in Bond films. This film gives us a great place to continue the 007 tradition.
