Editorial Reviews
CASINO ROYALE, the most exciting Bond film since ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, has everything you want in a pop entertainment: physical audacity, intrigue, romance, but also a charge of personality
Entertainment Weekly (01/31/2007)

Craig is very good indeed: everything about his performance shows cunning and grace
Sight And Sound (01/31/2007)

There's no disputing the icon is re-energised by Craig....Vibrant, vital and violent, when he utters the immortal final line, your neck hairs spike and your pulse pounds
Total Film (01/31/2007)

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.

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.
