An average action movie, but not a Bond movie

Rating: 4/10 (18 November 2006)

I went to watch the movie with minimal expectations from Daniel Craig as Bond. Earlier while watching the promos, his ordinary looks gave me hard time trying to figure out which one is the bond? It did not turn out to be that bad in the movie. Casino Royal was an average action movie but it had all the wrong elements for a bond movie.
The plot was one of the weakest ever, the bond girl was close to ugly and the bond himself had no charisma, no appeal and looked constipated. Hope this is his first and the last one.
Clooney would have been a perfect choice. But this plot would have made him look bad too. Go and watch this flick without considering it a bond movie and then you may like it.
