Daniel Craig, you are here to stay

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2006)

I would say this is the best recent Bond movie. Although Peter Brosman has been great as the stereotypically smooth James Bond, Casino Royal takes Bond to a whole new level. I love how unpolished and crude this new character is, how much he has yet to learn about being a double-o. The young bond is a natural killer, and a smooth talker. Yet, he lacks many of the key Bond features, like the signature "shaken, not stirred" and super gadgets. The directors created an excellent beginning to a Bond who will be around for many years, and whose character was can see develop on the big screen. I am very excited for the next movie to see how they make the change to his personality. Congratulations to crew and cast, you have made a classic!
