The best Bond film to reflect the modern times

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2006)

When Daniel Craig was announced as the next Bond, I wasn't too excited. I was initially planning to skip it, but after reading reviews of the film I went to watch it on the first day. Was I impressed! This is certainly the best Bond film that reflects the modern times. Back in the 60s, audiences might have accepted flimsy story lines. But as the world progressed and audiences got wiser, the Bond series became stale. But Casino Royale was excellent. The storyline was grittier, more realistic with few plot holes. Gone were all the clichés and cheesy dialog. The acting has improved and Craig was excellent as Bond. Bond is here to stay and so is Craig!
