That was until Daniel Craig stepped up to the plate.  I wasn’t filled with enthusiasm on my trip to see Casino Royale but found myself drawn in despite my preconceptions. With a gritty shake-up and convincing performance from Mr Craig, I thoroughly enjoyed the film.  Then came Quantum of Solace and the incomprehensible plot left me cold, so, when Skyfall was announced I was unsure of which incarnation I was going to get.  The only thing I really need to say about Skyfall is go and see it

I hope that yo
