Excellent movie, excellent new James Bond

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2007)

Well, to begin with, I believe this James Bond seems much more realistic. Not that I know about secret agencies to say what's more close to reality, but if a guy suppose to fight, to have to accomplish missions where he needs skills and strong abilities, yet he has finesse, he has style and he has social skill, well, Daniel Craig is everything that is needed to incorporate that guy that I'm describing. The result seems congruent with the purpose, and congruent with the image of James Bond.
He's a violent killer, with a lot of style and an Aston Martin, and I would like one like his.
Just that would be enough for me for this movie to be better than all others.
But it's even better. There's psychological warfare. There's intrigue, there's manipulation, there's a GAME played in the underground, there's everything that I relate with a secret agent.
Everyone needs to see underneath the underneath and everyone have a secret intention, EVERYONE with no exception.
I wouldn't say the plot is brilliant, because it's nothing new. But I would say, it FITS perfectly in a James Bond story.
Well, Casino Royale is by FAR the best 007 movie EVER.
