Very overrated & does not deserve the hype...

Rating: 2/10 (5 May 2008)

I thought i'd like this after a few watches but i've still got a negative feeling about this one. As a huge Bond fan, I had mixed views on Casino Royale.
The Good: -

The prologue in black & white. (Let down by a dismal start that the other Bonds did memorably before the credits even began.)

The music by David Arnold.

The free-running sequence.

The airport sequence.

Daniel Craigs' performance.

The Bad: -

Too much card playing.

Eva Green being a Bond girl in the first place. Was not at all attractive and had a huge chip on her shoulder.

Not enough action.

Let's hope the next film Quantum of Solace is a worthy sequel to this. It has the talented and beautiful Gemma Arterton as Agent Fields so my hopes are pretty well high for this! Fingers crossed!
