Daniel Craig is the sixth actor to play Bond and is also the only blond to take the role. Including 2006s Casino Royale, he is signed to a three-film contract. Like all other new Bonds before him, Craigs selection caused some controversy and angered some fans of the series.
The Cold War and anti-Nazi plots of the 60s and 70s were outdated by the time the franchise(特权, 公民权)started up again in the mid-1990s, so the modern Bond became tied up in media wars, terrorist plots and high-technology threats. Although each film is unique, they tend to contain certain elements.
Fast-paced Action. The core of any Bond film is the fast-paced action. Car chases, daring leaps from buildings or mountains, hand-to-hand combat, gunfights, narrow escapes from death traps, even boat and airplane chases are all vital to the success of a Bond film. Bond always pulls off these sometimes preposterous sequences with panache and style.
Humor. A Bond film is not a gritty exploration of the espionage(间谍, 侦探)underworld or a high-minded glimpse into global politics. Even at the most tense moments, Bond finds time for a one-liner, dryly delivered with a half-smile.
Visual Beauty. James Bond doesnt get into a car chase while driving a Pinto through Detroit. He drives a Lotus Esprit along a winding mountain road that overlooks a stunning rainforest. His cases take him to golden beaches, vibrant jungles, even crystal ice palaces. A mission might require him to attend a high-cost charity auction held in the penthouse of an expensive hotel.
