Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2019)

Casino Royale was once my least favorite Bond movie, but now I see how wrong I was. It has everything a great Bond movie should have which is well written characters, great and suspenseful action sequences, incredible locations/sets, great writing and a great spy thriller. Martin Campbell is back in the director chair, he created Goldeneye which was a critical success and he did the same with this movie. I really liked the realistic approach of the story and fight scenes, making it more human and original in terms of the villain and the story around him. Fight sequences were top notch in how brutal and personal they were, the sound effects and choreography helped a lot at making it perfect.
The ensemble cast is just perfect, with many well known actors playing the roles and having some nice cameos. The actors that stand out the most is Daniel Craig, Eva Green and Mads Mikkelsen. Mads' performance was a highlight of the movie, he's perfect as the villain as he showed here and later on in the show Hannibal, portraying a villain with such human emotion that you just want to believe he's good deep inside, nailed it without a doubt.
This movie has now became one of my favorite Bond movies as everything about it was just remarkable and entertaining, perfection. One thing that grew on me was how James Bond was portrayed, using character development and a great actor that simply portrays an amazing double 00 agent in a perfect way.
