The old James Bond-feeling is back, finally!

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2007)

People who have seen more than a few other James Bond movies will been constantly be thinking that 'old Bond would never do such a thing', and in the mean while, if you preferred the older Bondmovies you'll totally be enjoying yourself with the old fashion tricks and action. In Casino Royale, Daniël Craig is young James Bond, and although he seems to look nothing like the usual character, they found him a suit that fits his muscled body. You'll have to adapt yourself to his not so gentle moves, but you see the character evolve during the film so that actor Daniël Craig transforms into James Bond naturally. The whole plot that he goes through and puzzles out isn't as compelling as usual, but the action sequences make up for it. Bond looks unbreakable as he jumps of cars and kills people during while he is 'using the facilities' during a huge poker-game. Almost everyone around the table has both millions and their own lives at stake. Especially with the main-villain, played by a very evil-looking Mad Mikkelsen. The tension gets really high, but poker isn't everything. There's also a girl, it appears that behind the big body and ego lies also a heart. 007 and the viewers are both surprised by some sudden changes in the plot and they make you weary for what's to come next. An exciting new James Bond movie and hopefully many more to come with Daniël Craig, who has officially got his 007-worthy certificate!
