A great end to Casino Royal.

Rating: Null/10 (24 December 2008)

A great end to Casino Royal. If it were a stand-alone feature, okay... maybe light. However, considering that this Bond's revenge upon those that killed Vesper, it is a great film--simply the conclusion of Casino Royal. It is great that they are keeping the gadgets out of these films, and I hope it stays that way. Bond was and is better without the gadgets (Thunderball as best original example). My only critique of the film is that they have elected to reintroduce the typical Bond ending whereby the Evil-Doers hideaway blows up during the final sequence. If they can find a way for darker and more understated endings to these films, such as the ending of Casino Royal, I would say they have the perfected Bond's reinvention.
