Quite a disappointment for an avid bond fan

Rating: 6/10 (17 November 2006)

I probably went into the theater with too high an expectation. And what a turn off. The opening sequence raised my expectations, with Sebastien Foucan running across small shops and a construction site(needless to say, bond was not half as graceful as our traceur). Well Daniel Craig's more rugged alright, but lacks the qualities of a womanizer, thus breaking the legacy of bond being a gentleman, who gets any lady he sets his eyes upon. From there on it just gets slower and slower. The whole sequence, well collection of sequences at the Casino Royale is sinfully long. It just fails to grip the viewers. You just see him running in and out of the casino, now and then to kick some arse. Caterina Murino was hot alright but Eva Green was just a walking talking powder box. There aren't many more scenes to look out for, except for him wrecking the Aston DBS and the apparent torture scene. There's no point criticizing anyone, because Mr. Daniel Craig has signed a contract for three films. So he's going to be around for a while.
