The best Bond ever!

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 2006)

"Casino Royale" is in my opinion the best James Bond movie to date. Daniel Craig is the only 007 ever to rival Sean Connery's performance as Bond and maybe even do better. I was happily surprised when I saw the movie, not having any real expectations about it. Still, from the very beginning, the movie had my full attention and captivated me with it's excitement. Craig was incredibly convincing as a more human James Bond being witty and sarcastic, but not taking himself too seriously. Casino Royale is a very realistic Bond-movie, without any silly gadgets or an overdosage of annoying explosions. Everything in the movie feels real, from the first two kills Bond makes to the suits he wears and the car he drives. The filming locations were great. I didn't find the plot too simple, actually it was incredibly interesting. Even the Casino scenes were exciting, though I know hardly anything about poker! Everything was just right, from beginning to end and that's why this movie gets a full 10/10 for me.
