Casino Royale (2006)

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 2006)

Having seen all the Bond movies, I quite liked this one as I felt it was uncluttered with gadgets & car chasers. I felt that Daniel Craig played the role of James Bond refreshingly, as he was not the debonair that Moore & Brosnan brought to the role, but more like a diamond in the rough. Probably more like what a secret agent would be like...........not so much the womaniser but an agent doing his job for his country. The action seen near the beginning in Madagascar was the normal 'Oh, yeah, right!' whilst leaping across the construction site & surviving each terrible jump or fall, but then that is part of the Bond mystic, that mostly no matter what, he will survive, to live another day! Anyway, that's my view...............
