A Bond that is macho but a film that is full of flaws.....

Rating: 6/10 (20 April 2007)

CASINO ROYALE hit cinemas worldwide in late 2006. It made box-office success and everyone was crazy over this new Bond, Daniel Craig. The film however is crippling disappointment.
Bond travels to a casino and fights the evil minions. The film is not macho and it is truly terribly disappointing. A remake of the 1967 hit film starring Sean Connery, Craig executes the film very well but the script was horrible. It was Craig that literally saved this film from failure. Director Martin Campbell should focus more on the plot and the acting then the violence and the mild sexuality. If you want a good Bond film, go rent the Connery DVD's but CASINO ROYALE is quite okay: THE GOOD Craig is superb. He gives the perfect Bond image and everyone thought he was better than Brosnan which is true. Superb acting, Craig.
THE BAD The whole film. It was somehow meaningless. There was this fight scene and whole Bond drama inflicting in the wrong places. It lacked the energy and excitement of the previous Bond's. Worth a viewing but skip the DVD.
Overall: B-
