Veteran Bond girl Honour Blackman has praised new 007 Daniel Craig's performance in Casino Royale, but was less convinced by the movie's violence.

Veteran Bond girl Honour Blackman has praised new 007 Daniel Craig's performance in Casino Royale, but was less convinced by the movie's violence.

Blackman, who played Pussy Galore in 1964 classic Goldfinger, was taken aback by the new back-to-basics tough guy Bond.

The 79-year-old says: "He's a very good actor. But that film was so terribly violent."
