Casino Royale, James Bond brings the house down

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2006)

I can only write a positive review about this movie and hope that you believe everything I say. There is not a better Bond movie in its entirety. I can say there were some parts in other Bond movies I enjoyed quite a lot, but not one single Bond movie is as good as this one. And now, I am going to offend someone. Sorry! Daniel Craig is the best damn Bond in Her Majesty's service.
From the very beginning of Casino Royale, it was clear this was going to be the introduction of a new Bond and we were going to like it whether we were prepared to or not. I think even M went through that experience as well. She couldn't help herself, she had no choice but to respect this 007.
Craig shoots straight and without missing. And he has a big gun. His less slick appearance and more acrobatic display keeps you watching so you don't miss anything. And believe me if you blink, you may miss a lot.
This can be a very fast paced movie but does slow down occasionally for some smart dialogue. Although, when it slows down, do not blink yet! Sight gags and tight shots can be missed if you look the other way. Be sure to look for the Aston Martin. Oh yeah, can this guy order a drink or what!! Very different from other Bonds.
Nothing misses in this movie. Acting, action, mystery, camera-work, comic-relief - it's all there like never before.
Director Martin Campbell earns a 009 out of a possible 010. Great Work!
