Not a Bond, but a great action movie!

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2007)

I'm not really a fan of all the bond movies. I've just seen a few ones of them, but it's enough to notice, that "Casino Royale" isn't a real Bond movie. But this doesn't make this film any worse. The action sequences are great, I think Daniel Craig does a good job and although the film consists to a big part of an poker game (and I don't like poker that much!)I think all the 2 1/2 hours are exciting and quite entertaining.
I can understand bond fans, if they say "its the worst bond film ever" or "this isn't a real bond film" - because it isn't one! But for me the film is a great independent action movie, which has nearly all an actioner has to have! Concincing actors, style, great action scenes and I was never bored during this film! I can recommend this film to everyone who doesn't expect an typical Bond film! Real Bond fans may will be greatly disappointed!
