Casino Royale, its not just for James Bond fans anymore....

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2006)

Daniel Craig Delivers In First Stint As Bond- just got back from seeing the new James Bond movie, "Casino Royale". just awesome! one of the few movies i've gone into with high expectations that have lived up to my own self-imposed hype.
i'm a Connery guy big time. But if Daniel Craig turns in another performance like this one in his next bond film (i think he's slated to do 4), we can officially pass the torch in confidence know that when Craig is done as Bond the next guy in line is screwed. Right Roger? Craig has jumped to a very close #2 Bond in his first movie as the legendary spy, surpassing all 4 other Bond actors including Peirce Brosnan and Roger Moore (we don't talk about the other 2 since Connery's reign) Don't not go see this because you're "not a James Bond fan". Go see it because you like great action movies, great acting, great one-liners (tastefuly done i might add), and great characters. This film is why people started going to movies in the first place. it deserves this as well as the other several thousand praises the film has received since opening two weeks ago. This may be the most complete, well acted, well written, well directed Bond movie ever, as well as one of the better dramatic-action movies in recent time. Its what the Borne Identity series wishes it was.
9 out of 10.
