I like James Bond movies - I'm pretty sure I've seen them all, not including the first Casino Royale (1967 spoof). Yes, they're violent (which for some rare reason doesn't bother me), and they are misogynistic.
Daniel Craig (Cowboys & Aliens, which was a mistake...) is solid but, with rumours swirling that this might be his last Bond movie, seems detached and somewhat 'mailed in' his performance. I like Lea Seydoux (Robin Hood) very much and also Andrew Scott (Moriarity in BBC's Sherlock), who was suitably 'oily'. I'm also a fan of Ralph Fiennes (Maid in Manhattan). Monica Belucci (The Sorceror's Apprentice) has a brief, restrained and effective role.
If you like Bond, it's worth seeing, especially on the big screen. I'll see it again at some point.
