Excellent. Ian Fleming would be proud

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2006)

This film was breathtakingly exciting.
It's an adrenaline shot that resuscitates this aging 007 legacy.
This is.... svelt grit.
It's entertainment value is ony rivaled by its invested emotional value.
All aspects deliver (unless you're expecting a cliché rehash of GoldenKillNeverDieTomorrow)
I believe Ian Fleming would be pleased with this film. After all, it's his baby - his characters - his debut book, and it was done well.
CASINO ROYALE (2006) is the inaugural mission to prove worthy as a 00, and to save the world one espionage intrigue at a time and maybe spare his heart from the crosshairs.
And it's written and acted and well done with Overdue respect and Overwhelming adrenaline. And the only Overkill is its impact that compels one to see it again.
Bravo to the cast and screenwriters/Fleming readers involved.
This film is one simply easy to see bright spot of 2006.
I approve of the reboot/change.
It's Craig's gig for a stretch. Have at it, man.
