Casino Royale (DVD)

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.

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.
