Daniel Craig Delivers The Bond We Have Been Waiting For

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2006)

Casino Royale is the best bond movie ever going back-to-basics with James Bond now a more gritty and darker character just like in Ian Fleming's novels. I know Daniel Craig had his critics for being cast but he answers every single one of them with a breath-taking performance of bond. What he brings to the screen as an immense presence and showed the vulnerability of bond, I'd say Daniel Craig's a better bond than Sean Connery. From the first few seconds of the scenes in black and white, you know the Bond movie has changed. I think it was helped by no gadgets because in place of them were realistic characters and a realistic script. The script was sharp and witty and the chemistry between Craig and Evan Green ( Vesper Lynd) was superb, the roles were made for each other.What also made Daniel Craig brilliant for the role is his physique what shows you he could kill you if he wanted and is an impressive mover while doing stunts. I must thank the producers for bring back director Martin Campbell who also relaunched Bond with Goldeneye, This time he launches the Beginning of the New bond and i hope Daniel Craig is he to stay.
Martin Campbell has directed some breath-taking action-stunts going from a construction site to an embassy to Venice and more. The movie also showed that Bond is not invincible such as the torture scene when he had to recover from it. The ending is brilliant because its the legacy which will go into "Bond 22" The only bad points are that the music wasn't very good and we didn't hear the 007 theme tune till the ending and that the ending was slightly rushed but forget about that. This is a must-See movie for anyone not just bond fans. This deserves an Oscar.
And as they say " Bond Will Return On May 2, 2008
