An old friend returns with a welcome change

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 2006)

Simply wonderful. After 'Die Another Day' who could have conceived that such a fantastic film would follow. Casino Royale is joy from start to finish and makes James Bond a strong no nonsense hero again. Bravo to all involved. Hopefully this new style will last for many years to come. Please support this film... Its worth it. I have been an avid Bond fan my whole life and I was in a position where nothing was going to surprise me in this franchise but I was so wrong. Royale has twists and turns a plenty and has a great sense of mystery and charm. Danial Craig is a natural Bond and is a welcome change. He seems to play the role as if he has prepared himself since childhood. He is a powerful and sexy man that commands respect from start to finish. Thats all I can really say as I don't wish to spoil anything for anybody but please get up off your backsides and go witness the return of an old friend in your local cinema... You know the number. You know the name...
