Bravo Daniel Craig
39 of 41 people found this review helpful.
Daniel Craig is a tough two-fisted Bond in the first proper movie version of Ian Fleming's first novel, "Casino Royale." The action is potent and punchy, and the performances very solid. Fans of the book will love the little details (like the man with the eye patch) and the adherence to much of Fleming's 53-year-old dialogue. Craig is an energetic addition to the series, a "human" Bond who you want to root for--not the snide tourist of Roger Moore or the suave pitchman of Pierce Brosnan. Eva Green plays a complex character as Vesper Lynd--when she shows up in the black velvet dress (straight out of the book, like much of this movie) I felt like cheering. Mads Mikkelsen is an appropriately creepy Le Chiffre, with an effeminate quality that is also based very closely on Fleming. He is a vicious sadist, a coward, and a weakling--not the usual egomaniacal industrialist surrounded by thugs in color-coordinated jumpsuits. "Casino Royale" has a great, completely original title sequence, a tough muscular score by series regular David Arnold. and a strong theme song from Soundgarden/Audioslave front-man Chris Cornell.
The film is just what the series needed.

Blonde Bond5 of 7 people found this review helpful.
Return to form for the Bond series, this one is NOT a comedy with stunts as they had started to become. This is more like the Connery Bond films, harder, darker and a great story-line, this film was of course originally written by Ian Flemming who created Bond in the first place.
Great Stuff.

Casino Royale on Blu rayI bought a PS3 so i wanted to view it in HD , and wow was it worth it. Although the fight is still ongoing with HD DVD and Blu ray i only hope both are successful. I have the dvd in my normal james bond collection but watching it in HD is fab. It a bond movie no more need be said.

Bond is Back....... and he is BlondReview created: 14/07/07

The uproar, the shock, the anger, the hate grouped that formed on the internet.... why????? All because the producers have hired Daniel Craig as the new James Bond.
We have now lost the 40 year image of James Bond in his smooth, calm, collective look with charms that no woman on earth could resist. So what does Daniel Craig bring to the role. Well, by going back to the very first novel he has launched the franchise into a new 21st Century image.
This is a strange concept. After so many years of Bond, we are officially going to have a prequel, establish why Bond is Bond, why he is a womaniser, where he ruthless streak to kill comes from and why his character has alot of anger inside.
The films starts right at the beginning, a rookie spy who has yet to earn his "00" status and is still learning the game. Daniel Craig is superb in his role particularly when he is struggling to deal with his emotions and begins to learn why life in the secret service is really all about.
From start to finish you will have a rollacoaster of emotions as our hero is double crossed, tricked and comes close to never making his 007 status.
What this films bring you is a true spy film, back to the classic bonds of the 1970's and loses the special effects that ruined Die Another Day but gives you in a return one of the finest actors to grace the movie world who will continue to take Bond to a new and higher level in each film he commits too.
