James Bond returns

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2010)

007 has returned in a new adventure after a few years of break.It's the 21st of the series.This time Mr. Bond has to play a game of poker against a villain called Le Chiffre.That's all I will say about the plot, because the plot is never the most important thing in the James Bond movies.Casino Royale (2006) is directed by Martin Campbell.I just read Ian Fleming's novel, the very first James Bond novel, and I really liked it.The movie hasn't followed the book in every parts.Daniel Craig has taken the part of 007 in this one.He does a good job, but he's no Sean Connery or Roger Moore.Eva Green is very good as the Bond girl Vesper Lynd.Mads Mikkelsen is great as Le Chiffre.Jeffrey Wright is terrific as Felix Leiter.Here we see the modern James Bond.Some people may say it was just about time for James Bond to step into the new millennium.For me it's kind of hard to find Bond, as I know him, in Daniel Craig's character.He looks cool, and so do the action scenes.Like the one where chases the guy at the construction site.Also the torturing sequence is memorable.So this works, although it's hard to find James Bond there.
