I have always, like countless others, been a fan of the James Bond movies, and I thought that Daniel Craig quickly established himself in the role with his appearance in the film Casino Royale.
All the same, I truly think that he claimed the role as his own with his performance in Skyfall, because whilst, in Casino Royale he had shown himself to be a different and exciting incarnation of Bond, an impression that was enhanced by his memorable performance as the disgruntled agent in Quantum of Solace, which in all honesty was possibly the most riotous non-stop action film I had ever seen to that point.
So it was with a certain degree of delicious expectation that I greeted the release of his third outing as James Bond, in which, at long last, Craig presents us with the rough, tough, unforgettable Bond we all knew him to be at heart. This movie coincidentally was a 50th anniversary celebration of the debut of the most famously laid-back super spy of all time.

With that other Oscar-winning Dame Judi Dench as M, a role she fits like a glove, the movie really does progress at a pulsating pace, and the shock of seeing M come to an unexpected end at the conclusion, fatally wounded by the head bad guy, is quite hard to take.
From the incredible, and frankly brilliant opening sequence that unfolds aboard a moving train, this movie draws you into what it soon becomes apparent is a Bond movie on another level altogether. The chase sequence in the film is quite breath-taking, the rooftops of Istanbul and a train providing Bond with a motorcycling escape route that defies
The Pacific coast port city of San Francisco, California provides a distinctively mysterious backdrop in Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon. Unlike many other detective stories that are anchored in well-known metropolises such as Los Angeles or New York City, Hammett opted to place the events of his text in the lesser-known, yet similarly exotic cultural confines of San Francisco. Hammett used his own intricate knowledge of the San Francisco Bay Area - coupled with details collected during a stint as a detective for the now defunct Pinkerton Agency - to craft a distinctive brand of detective fiction that thrived on such an original setting (Paul 93). By examining the setting of 1920’s San Francisco in The Maltese Falcon, it becomes apparent that one of Hammett’s literary strengths was his exceptional ability to intertwine non-fictional places with a fictional plot and characters in order to produce a logical and exceedingly believable detective mystery.
He tweeted: "I am honored to finally announce that I will be singing the next Bond theme song." The latest tune will be available on the market and online streaming on Sept. 25.

He is invincible and infallible. He is like a god who can save his partner and himself at any critical juncture. No matter how urgent and dangerous the situation is, Bond is able to make the right decisions all the time. However, in Casino Royale, Bond made plenty of mistakes. He got poisoned by Le Chiffre so easily, which almost killed him. He did not recognize his two “friends” were actually both traitors. Because of love, Bond got trapped and tortured by Le Chiffre, and he even wanted to quit his agent job in order to live with his girlfriend. In this version, James Bond is no longer infallible, no longer always cool and logical, he got emotions as well as weaknesses. Nonetheless, because of his weaknesses, James Bond became more like an actual human being who has flesh and blood, audiences would have more attachments to a character like
Ian Fleming published his first novel, Casino Royale, in 1953. Later on, in 2006 a film was made based on the novel. Fleming published his novel pertaining a man, James Bond, who is a British secret agent and is licensed to kill. Bond is told to gamble with Le Chiffre, who is a member of the Russian secret service. James Bond is assigned a female partner, Vesper Lynd, who is actually a double agent for Russia and Great Britain. Throughout Casino Royale, James Bond is brought to the readers as very hard and insensitive. Whereas the film in 2006, Bond is brought to the film watchers as sensitive and caring.
