Yes, Daniel Craig makes a superb Bond: Leaner, more taciturn, less sex-obsessed, able to be hurt in body and soul, not giving a damn if his martini is shaken or stirred. That doesn't make him the 'best' Bond, because I've long since given up playing that pointless ranking game; Sean Connery was first to plant the flag, and that's that. But Daniel Craig is bloody damned great as Bond, in a movie that creates a new reality for the character.

Casino Royale Movie Bond

Year after year, attending the new Bond was like observing a ritual. There was the opening stunt sequence that served little purpose, except to lead into the titles; the title song; Miss Moneypenny; M with an assignment of great urgency to the Crown; Q with some new gadgets; an archvillain; a series of babes, some treacherous, some doomed, all frequently in stages of undress; the villain's master-plan; Bond's certain death, and a lot of chases. It could be terrific, it could be routine, but you always knew about where you were in the formula.

With 'Casino Royale,' we get to the obligatory concluding lovey-dovey on the tropical sands, and then the movie pulls a screeching U-turn and starts up again with the most sensational scene I have ever seen set in Venice, or most other places. It's a movie that keeps on giving.

This time, no Moneypenny, no Q and Judi Dench is unleashed as M, given a larger role, and allowed to seem hard-eyed and disapproving to the reckless Bond. This time, no dream of world domination, but just a bleeding-eyed rat who channels money to terrorists. This time a poker game that is interrupted by the weirdest trip to the parking lot I've ever seen. This time, no laser beam inching up on Bond's netherlands, but a nasty knotted rope actually whacking his hopes of heirs.

And this time, no Monte Carlo, but Montenegro, a fictional casino resort, where Bond checks into the 'Hotel Splendid,' which is in fact, yes, the very same Grand Hotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary where Queen Latifah had her culinary vacation in 'Last Holiday.' That gives me another opportunity to display my expertise on the Czech Republic by informing you that 'Pupp' is pronounced 'poop,' so no wonder it's the Splendid.

I never thought I would see a Bond movie where I cared, actually cared, about the people. But I care about Bond, and about Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), even though I know that (here it comes) a Martini Vesper is shaken, not stirred. Vesper Lynd, however, is definitely stirring, as she was in Bertolucci's wonderful 'The Dreamers.' Sometimes shaken, too. Vesper and James have a shower scene that answers, at last, why nobody in a Bond movie ever seems to have any real emotions.

The book goes back to the basics, so the action needed to too. Daniel brings a kind of dark quality to Bond, he's slightly dangerous. Connery had it in the early Bonds and I think Daniel has reinstated that into the character.

When Pierce Brosnan moved into Goldeneye, the character was very set - he was a variation on what we had had before. Daniel has to start right back at base and bring all these human levels into Bond that have not been seen before.

I got very astute at being able to see it and make sure the product placement was done more discreetly. But it won't go unnoticed that every terrorist in the world has a Sony Ericsson phone.

I didn't have to really think twice when they offered me the part. I just think it's a fantastic love story.

It's a very intriguing part, very mysterious. She shapes Bond - and his relationships with other women. I wouldn't have done a bimbo role, that's not really my aim as an actress.

Bond here is like the Queen - it's very important. I grew up with Bond. I always thought he was a very cool character, and very funny. I loved Sean Connery - but I was not a Bond fan.

Le Chiffre is a very cold man, very cynical - he doesn't like to be out in the broad daylight, he would rather hide in the shadows. I think he's an interesting character.

It would have been fun in the '70s to play a megalomaniac, but in this film, I don't think it would have worked.

It was so ridiculous, when the press were going on about Daniel Craig being blond, it was hard to take it seriously. The only thing he could do was focus on the work - everybody knew he was going to be a fantastic Bond.

I chose to play Solange because I'm always making dramas, always crying and suffering - and for once I said to myself, I'm just going to have some fun.

When I got the role, I was shooting an Italian movie - dressed up like a man in the middle of a duel - and none of the crew believed me. They were saying, 'but Bond girls are meant to be beautiful and glamorous!'.

I can't say that I was a huge fan of Bond when I was younger because he was a little bit chauvinist.

The key challenge to introducing a new Bond is to find the right person - and convincing the public that you've made the right choice.

The actors that play Bond all have their own personality, they bring a bit of themselves to the part. What you're trying to do is write the script to accentuate those characteristics.

That's the next challenge - what do we do with the next Bond film. We're thinking about continuing with the story, but we'll have to wait see.

Moneypenny and Q will return, or not, depending on the requirements of the storyline.
