Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2006)

I went to the movie expecting the movie to be good because of Martin Campbell. We've all seen Golden Eye, Mask of Zorro etc. But Casino Royale sure exceeds expectations.
The movie portrays a Bond who is more convincing to be a real MI6 agent than the other typical Bond movies. Bond fans worldwide will sure miss Pierce Brosnan but we have to realize that Daniel Craig definitely is physically more able to perform those amazing stunts than the previous, but perhaps more charismatic Bond.
So I say the team has done an excellent job, though the stunts in the beginning of a movie may seem exaggerated. For those who do not know what PARKOUR is, it is the French originated art of passing obstacles in the fastest and most direct manner possible. The french movie Banlieue 13 has a fine display of the same.
Further, the script was pretty good too, speaking of which, Paul Haggis was a co-writer of Casino Royale!!
