Great first half - Boring second half!

Rating: 6/10 (17 February 2007)

I was really keen to watch this new Bond movie after so many years. While the first half was very enticing in terms of plot, action, suspense and Bond-like features, the second half left me waiting for something good to happen. It isn't enticing enough at all in the Casino Royale. There are a few things that'll keep you to your seats but it's missing the feeling that Bond is simply the best agent out there. This is supposed to be a Bond movie, where 007 saves the world? Where's that element?? Agreed that it's his first mission. Still... And the final climax is too much like any-other spy movie. Just compare this movie with the previous one! Still it's a great performance. Daniel Craig is going to hold long as James Bond.
