The Lovely Eva Green

After hearing that the new 007 film was back on track to be released in 2012, I decided to re-watch the last few Bond films, beginning with GoldenEye. And I noticed one serious flaw in all the movies except one, that flaw is the Bond Girls. To be put simply they were all just really attractive females without  anything to really do but quip one liners and look hot. But that all changed with Eva Green's portrail of Vesper Lynd. Here is a clip from Casino Royale that solidifies her as the ultimate Bond girl, she is simply amazing and breathtaking in this scene.



What separated Vesper from all the other Bond Girls was that she was smart and witty. She was and is the only one that has been able to stand toe-to-toe with Bond. Her introduction into the film was extraordinary, never has a woman come into a move so assuredly and assertive since Helena Bonham Carter's Marla Singer strutted into Fight Club in a puff of smoke. Eva Green is the pinnacle of beauty, with her raven hair and the sultry British accent she puts on, it's no wonder she and Daniel Craig had such amazing chemistry. A word of advice to the next woman to play a Bond Girl, strive for more, we don't need another Olga Kurylenko or Halle Berry.

Update: In other Eva Green news, it seems as though she's expected to be playing the part of Angelique in Tim Burton's remake/re-imagining of Dark Shadows.
