After watching Quantum of Solance, Skyfall and Spectre...

... I realized what a Masterpiece Casino Royale was. I was never a big fan of 007. The Bond of my youth is Pierce Brosnan, and I can't say I like him too much. The movies were relatively cheesy, ludicrous and plain boring. When I watched this one here, I was 14 and didn't really realize what of an amazing movie I had just watched. I watched it again just yet, after watching Spectre, and was blazed by this movie. To make a long story short: This movie has it all. James Bond is a cool, modern Agent, with less finesse than his predecessors, but more power, action, tension and actual coolness. The movie was exciting, had great chasing scenes (especially the opening scene), great dialogue and great humor (Bond: Vodka Martina! Waiter: Shaken or stirred? Bond: Do I look like I give a damn)... For me, this was an impeccable movie experience. The movie has humor, action, a very cool poker match, the (IMO) best Bond girl of all time (Eva Green was great in that role!), a great bad guy (not the plain bad, "I just want to rule the world" bull crap.) Verdict: One of the best action movies of the past decade and for me the best Bond of all time.
