I Have Found My Bond And He's Blond

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2006)

I was one of those girls who grew up watching my dad's favorite movies. And James Bond was always on the TV every year. I grew up in the Roger Moore era. I was opposed to Craig from the start but I must admit I was very very wrong, and I have been converted. Casino Royale was excellent! It has sweeping luscious scenery, great dialogue, and impressive acting from everyone. There were little stylish touches that harkened back to the late 50's early 60's that made this film almost elegant. The action was more realistic, and not so heavy on the big bang and gadgets which I really liked a lot. Craig's Bond is a thug in a suit. He's visceral, physical but not dumb in the least. I was taken aback that I enjoyed the romantic elements as much as I did. And Craig's Bond cuts an extremely romantic figure too. I was instantly won over. Delighted from the first scene on. It really was the type of movie I'd been longing to see these last few years. I honestly hope they keep up the quality. If there was a must see film for the year Casino Royale is it!
