My Rating

Rating: 6/10 (16 November 2006)

After watching the film, I was happy with Daniel Craig. I thought he may not suit the role as James Bond, however he takes the role on brilliantly and looks very sophisticated (especialy with a gun in his hand) A GOOD CHOICE FOR BOND.
On the other hand, the story was just OK. It progressed too slowly for my liking and there was not enough action. Still, the action scenes which I did remember were very good. Daniel Craig played the part very well and even performed his own stunts which is a credit to him. I was glad that the producers did not introduce the "over the top" gadgets as they did in the past few James Bond films, however there are hardly any gadgets and no car chases in Casino Royale, which makes the film less intriguing and fun.
Hopefully Bond 22 will be slightly better with more action scenes and car chases much like the Pierce Brosnan era.
Overall, I would rate it a 6 out of 10, ranking as my 12 favourite James Bond film. Perhaps I should see it again before I make that conclusion.
