If you were expecting the "good old" James Bond, then you are wrong

Rating: 7/10 (20 November 2006)

Everybody knows of James Bond to be a cool, sleek character with skills in almost everything and gadgets to help him with things he's not so good at. (breathing underwater for example) but Casino Royal puts an end to that. Daniel Craig acts well, and continues the fun and humour from Pierce Brosnan, but something about him is just not right. For a start, his body is oddly proportioned. (as you may well have seen in the trailers) The sleek Bond has been replaced with a body builder with almost no skills.
The films Directing has also taken a step towards Harry Potter standards. You'll see what I mean when you see the film.
However, the film has some exciting action sequences and a decent plot.
Hopefully next time we'll get some decent gadgets, a proper car chase and a villain who, well, doesn't look like a villain (weeping blood etc)
