the best bond, ever

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2007)

I have bee an avid Bond fan my entire life, and despite all the rave reviews for Casino Royale, it took me a while to get around and finally see it. Now that I have, I more than know why people love it so much. This is by far the best Bond movie, EVER. I loved Connery as Bond, and I loved the one good Bond film by Brosnan (i.e. Goldeneye), but Daniel Craig is simply outstanding as Bond. The movie overall was just outstanding and I've never been so excited and so into an action movie. It was so much more than perfect action though, it was fantastic acting, a beautiful European cinematography and setting, an overall darker theme/feel to both Bond and the story, non-stop surprises and plot twists, amazing soundtrack, and of course, the ridiculously gorgeous Eva Green. This movie will always have a special place in my favourite movies list. It was the Bond film that surpassed all others. If its anything like this movie, I say bring on the next installment !
