Bond just got better

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2006)

Having worked in Blockbusters Movie Rentals for over 8 months and having watched all the Bond movies to date (thanks to the free rental perk of working there) I must admit that Casino Royale is far better than all the others (probably even put together). The action, the dark and gritty feel, the beautiful women, the wry and clever humour; I mean it is an absolute must watch (for even those who do not watch Bond). With Casino Royale, they have reinvented the 007 franchise in a way it should have been done a long time ago. Daniel Craig is phenomenal and by the time the film finished, the mention of the name James Bond automatically brought the image of Craig's trademark scowl instead of Roger Moore's camp jokes or Sean Connery's Scottish 007. Well done.
