Quantum Of Solace

Just watching The South Bank Show. I waited decades for a real, bone-crunching, Flemingesque Bond to appear. I remember watching all the Roger Moores, and even though he was great as The Saint and Brett Sinclair, he wasn't Bond - and that's why they became farces. Entertaining, but farces. Daniel Craig has turned it all around, and is a safe bet to be remembered as the best on-screen interpretation of Fleming's character. Maybe not quite the mid 20th century old-school snob, but a 21st century equivalent steely-eyed assassin.
