Casino Royale

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2006)

This movie was amazing. Since March of this year I have wanted to see Casino Royale like crazy, and I was hoping I wouldn't be disappointed. In the first 10 minutes I was convinced it was good, and it only got better. Bond was portrayed beautifully and the movie had aspects to it that many of the others lacked. It had wonderful action scenes that were very well-done in my opinion, and it also showed the slightly sentimental side to Bond that the viewer rarely sees.The way everything happened gave the perfect essence of Bond to the film and as a HUGE fan, I can really appreciate how well this movie was made. It also hinted a connection to the older, original films with Connery, which was very cool. If I had to say there was one thing wrong with it, I would say that a better Bond girl could have been chosen. However, she was still very good at the part and was effective with the whole smoldering, yet conservative character she played. I had no idea I would love it this much. I would definitely recommend it for anybody, considering it has, as of last night, become my favorite movie!
