Some bits were breathtaking-Others were poor

Rating: 5/10 (8 December 2006)

When you're going to see a bond movie you think action, drama, comedy and of course sex! Well if you're looking to see that, don't watch this movie! Daniel Craig plays James Bond who is back again to solve another mission. Bond first starts the movie with a breathtaking scene when he is chasing a black bomb maker in Madagascar. They end up fighting on a crane which gives you a bit of vertigo. Bond then chases the black man up to the Madagascan Embassy, what a coincidence! Bond then gets arrested by the guards at the Embassy but blows the place up and of course escapes.
There are a lot of advantages with Daniel Craig, he's funny, witty and has a great physique which is shown quite a lot in the movie. Not to mention a sex scene with a beautiful Colombian woman who has to be the wife of the bad guy they're after.
Now this is when the boring bits come: He then has a big argument with M (Dame Judy Dench) about the bust-up at the Embassy in Madagascar and his one night with the bad guy's stunning wife who gets tortured and killed for her troubles. M then tells Bond that she is thinking of killing him! Bond then goes to Montenegro to have a game of poker at of course Casino Royale against the bad guy Mr LeChiffre. Bond then finds out that he has to beat Mr LeChiffre at poker otherwise Mr LeChiffre with invest the winnings in a terrorist country. After four hours of poker, Bond finally wins the grand prize of $150m.
Finally this is the most horrific thing of all, Bond falls in love! Bond doesn't fall in love! He's supposed to be having one nights with girls and then leaving them to fight crime but no, he falls in love.
The last three scenes of the movie are in Venice where Bond and his new hubby Vesper (Eva Green) are at a hotel when the hotel starts to melt, Vesper eventually drowns leaving Bond heartbroken.
It then turns out that Vesper has been working for the bad guys all along so Bond returns to London to solve another crime in the hopeful next movie.
