A Contender for the Best Bond Yet!

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2007)

Casino Royale takes the Bond Character back to his raw roots, and reflects the image of Bond that Ian Flemming had in the first place.
After all the fuss and upset over naming Daniel Craig as Brosnan's successor in the Bond hot seat, i'm happy to say that he is quite simply an inspired choice in the role.
Loaded with fast paced action from the start, we get too see James Bond evolve as the movie progresses, he has to learn many lessons in being a '00' agent the hard way; and the film is gritty and raw enough to portray it superbly.
Casino Royale is both visually impressive and excellently made, and despite still having a few far fetched moments, it feels like the bond character is reborn. Dare i say its the perfect start to Daniel Craig's reign as Bond, and he proves with just a few very well known words right at the end of the picture, that he will undoubtedly succeed.
9/10
