Daniel Craig nails Ian Flemming's Bond. He is gritty, not overly handsome (unlike Brosnan and Dalton), and seems human. The story is excellent, the action is exciting, and the acting is spot-on. Ms. Dench has become a formidable but humanistic M. She is really adapting well to the roll and stories like QoS allow her to showcase her talents. Mr. Craig has redefined the character of Bond and the writers have stopped using silly gadgetry to cover bad story lines. This is a Bond film that would have made Sean Connery proud to be a part of. I look forward to many more Craig-Bond films and now I'll have to go and watch Casino Royale (2006). QoS is the first Bond I've seen in its entirety since Lazenby. I could never stomach the Roger Moore Bonds - total drivel.
NBC should be ashamed. I wouldn't allow my children to see this. I definitely would tell my church to stay away. This movie is proof as to why NBC has always been a 3rd rate network The producers, actors, and writers should get on their knees and beg God's forgiveness for making this work of fiction. There were no pirates. Noah's wife didn't parade around on the deck of the ark. The ark had NO deck. Lot wasn't even born when this event took place. Did anyone attached to this project try reading the Bible? There were more than two animals of each type taken. Read the story in Genesis. How could anyone bring this to any screen, small or large!
Another home run from the producers of Flywheel and Facing the Giants. Once again, an effective message about personal relationships with God. Even though the acting isn't academy award level, even Kirk Cameron is a bit wooden at times, the story comes through beautifully. There is enough action with the fire and rescue scenes but the primary focus is the story. Poignant and an effective evangelism tool. I will use this movie as homework for couples I counsel prior to marriage. I will also use it for couples in counseling. This is a movie about relationships - with other people and with God. Overall, a 9 based solely on the story. Thanks Alex, keep 'em coming!
