So come November 7th, Daniel Craig tackles the difficult second album, attempting to stay on form for those who were impressed by his first outing in Casino Royale. Mismatched, over rated and thuggish was my by far in the minority opinion of this debut. The trailer looks good, with some elegant looking action and exotic locations, the only flaw being the poor choice of Daniel Craig as Bond - he never gelled into the necessarily complex being of suaveness and brutality that is the spys calling card. Brutishness by far outweighed, I felt there was little to like in hsi portrayal.
Watch the trailer here.

That was the point CK. Bond was not supposed to be suaveish. Highlighted by the fact that Vespa had to give him a proper suit. Something that the old bond would never had needed. It was about the making of the man.

Suaveness is not a word than anyone with any degree of suavity would use, my troglodytic friend.

Miroslav, thank you for your comment. We value all comments to the blog, even those such as yours with spelling mistakes. Let me know if you need directions to an online dictionary where you can see ’suaveness’ described as a noun.
Your use of the words ‘troglodytic’ and ‘friend’ suggests you may in fact be the person in need of some guidance on word usage.
