I saw this at a cast and crew screening in London last weekend: I'm not a huge Bond fan, but I do enjoy them on a purely popcorn level and this was definitely one of the best in recent memory. The tone is much edgier and nastier than the Brosnan movies, harking back more to Dr. No or For Your Eyes Only. The action sequences are brilliantly shot and edited for maximum impact and are some of the best out of any Bond movie. Martin Campbell, who also made 'Goldeneye', was an excellent choice and, for me, is one of the best Bond directors. What gives this the lead over recent Bonds is the more realistic feel: the exotic locales, fast cars, spectacular action, beautiful women and many other Bond hallmarks are all here but gone is the campy tone that marred, say, Die Another Day. Yes, the whole franchise is based on an entirely ridiculous and cartoonish notion but the more serious and harder-edged tone works really well here. In this context, Daniel Craig gives an excellent performance as Bond. I'll be the first to admit that I raised an eyebrow when I heard he was cast but he really makes it his own. It's hard to say whether he's better than any of the other Bonds: Connery and Brosnan felt right for the style of Bond movies they were in. Here, as suits the overall tone of the film, Bond is much more of a sadist, a cold-hearted killer with very little sense of empathy and Craig, with his piercing eyes, suits the role very well. He's charming and funny when required and totally convincing in the action sequences. The violence is less cartoon-like and flippant, too, with every punch, kick and shooting looking like they really hurt. Also, the story is just much more engaging than many a Bond film; the script's not going to win awards but it's consistently inventive and intriguing. Whilst the film has enough of it's fair share of action, the emphasis is equally on character and storyline and less on gadgets and sheer implausibility. When there isn't a huge action sequence happening, you don't miss it: the film's longest set-piece, the poker game at the Casino Royale, is as (or not more) gripping and entertaining than any of the chases and shoot-outs. The only minor gripes that I have are a slightly too long running time: the film drags a wee bit towards the end and, although it helps the tone of the film, we don't hear enough of the Bond theme tune! However, great directing and performances from everyone involved, along with Phil Meheux's excellent cinematography, Peter Lamont's as ever superb production design and all the other top-notch craft and technical departments make 'Casino Royale' a classy and very enjoyable night out at the movies.

James Bond is back and he's alive and nicely. Any questions approximately Daniel Craig's worthiness are thrown out incredibly much at cutting-edge as we are surpassed a movie filled to the brim with beautiful action and explosive emotion. I squirmed in my seat with satisfaction as I even have not executed because of the fact i became a toddler. What "Batman starts off" did for that franchise, "on line casino Royale" does, and greater, for Bond. For a whilst it regarded that he would desire to no longer have the potential to nicely exist outdoors the confines of the chilly conflict, yet right here we are given an totally cutting-edge Bond with sufficient nods to the unique that we can't be too disillusioned. possibly it relatively is on the grounds that's the final novel yet to be filmed in the classic Bond way and that's Ian Fleming who has stolen our hearts no longer this incarnation of the great undercover agent. in spite of the undeniable fact that i like to think of that somebody rather only have been given their act mutually and concentrated on the movie itself as unfavourable to who they might get the main product placement funds out of. Congratulations. James Bond will stay to tell the tale for a minimum of one greater technology, and probably continuously. great set products and between the perfect chase sequences no longer regarding autos ever placed on demonstrate, mixed with captivating places and much greater beautiful women human beings upload as much as the suited cocktail with the twisting tale line performing because of the fact the lemon peel in the martini, keeping all of it mutually. Many will come out asserting that that's the perfect Bond movie ever and that i will't rightly say they're incorrect at this factor. in effortless terms time will tell that tale. in spite of the undeniable fact that each and every fan would be certain that this ranks among the very top crust of Bond video clips, and Craig is not any Lazenby. He lends a harsh wit and a thuggish attraction to the character and by utilising the top he's now no longer the recent guy, he's Bond, James Bond. A masterpiece of universal movie-making and the movie we've been waiting for all 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. See it early and many times as that's specific to no longer shrink upon reviewing.

oh i saw it last nite it was soooo good, Craig is the 21st century Bond, alhough he is unlike the other bonds, blond, blue eyes, i soon changed my mind. he is hot, but u get to see more of his character and his feminine side. Oh just see it for your self. lots of stunts and not to many fake gadgets. Oh and a 1965 Austin Martin and the new DBS nice.
