A movie of good looking people who drive 3sec cars, live the high life and gamble enough to feed a small country in Asia. Whats there not to like?

I wasn't extremely keen to watch this movie, but after paying $9.00 and spending about 2.5 hours in the cinema, I didn't felt like it was a waste of time. Sure the movie has it flaws and it was TOO LONG for a action flick, but the first 10 mins of action was unbelievable (Even better than Jackie), the cars and the hotel room and the beach was divine and Daniel Craig was pleasant to the eye as well. Still, I don't think he is perfect for the part. 007 should have a bad boy, charismatic, playboy look where a woman knows she will only have her heart broken yet unable to resist the charms. He looks too serious, too 'committ-able'. But I was told this is the first episode of 007 and this was what moulded him to what he became, so it ain't half bad.

The LONG poker game was turn-on-ish. I love a man who can play the game and have the poker face...

Still....it was TOO LONG a movie.....I ended up sighing at the last half hour, wondering when will the movie ever end. For a moment it felt like the Hong Kong series "A Kindred Spirit", too many twist, almost like the director simply doesn't want the movie to end.

The woman could have been more babe-licious. That was a little disappointing.
