Best Bond Yet

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2007)

I have never been a huge fan of James Bond movies. Usually, the hero (James) is too untouchable, to super-human. But in Casino Royale, Bond gets pretty beat up, he is real, he gets cuts on his face, etc.
The story is pretty complicated and you need to pay attention. Its funny that in the beginning of the movie Mr. Bond is driving a Ford. But don't worry he ends up with an Aston Martin later.
The movie does not have too many esoteric gadgets either (which is good for making it seem possible). But he does have a defibrillator in his car, and that comes in real handy at one point.
I actually went to see it twice (which is very rare for me). It's the Best-Bond-Ever.
