Casino Royale - 2006 Submit your own review for this movie

Casino Royale

Daniel Craig annihilates the naysayers with a performance of power and poise as the latest incarnation of 007. Going back to basics, Bond has just earned his licence to kill before he comes up against Mads Mikkelsen's terrorist financier Le Chiffre across the gaming tables. The Aston Martins, compliant girls and vodka-martinis are all present and politically incorrect...but it's Craig's cunning brute of a Bond that gets the world's most successful movie franchise back on track.

Movie rating: 4 star rating.  - very good.

Excellent. Bond as he should be - the real thing . Daniel Craig is pure gold, a truly believable agent. No frills -just sex on legs.

The spy/secret agent genre recieved a much needed shake up with the appearance of the Bourne franchise. The originators of this field had to come up with something special to counter the amnesiac American. That they did, Daniel Craig's Bond is more like Flemings original in an update of the first ever 007 story. Excellent action scenes pepper the almost believable story, with Bond himself behaving like an anti hero. The future bodes well for Her Majesty's most effective weapon. Keep it that way.

The thing that's great about this film is that it's a completely new kind of Bond film and I like that. It really pulled me in. I had no doubts at all about Daniel Craig being the new 007, he did a great job, just as I thought he would. I felt sorry for Daniel when those fans tried to boycott the film saying he was the wrong choice for Bond. I wonder what those people are saying now because it's doing well in the cinema charts and hanging in there after a couple of months. Very well done Mr Cra

Stunning return by the new and unfamilliar Bond. In my opinion Craig is joint top Bond along with Sean Connery. The best bit: (BOND) "Very sorry. That last hand... nearly killed me."

An alternative Bond, one which we haven't seen in many years. Craig has managed to combine the charm and sophistication of Fleming's original character with the rough edges and cinematic viewing of current consumer desire. The storyline was a little thin, though the main focus was the re-introduction of James Bond, which was captured perfectly with this revolution in recent Bond films. A fantastic film to watch, especially if your a Fleming fan.

Daniel Craig is sexy, charming and virile...and also dangerous.

A great film with a great new Bond who hopefully will be around for years to come. Only two faults in my opinion. First of all there are not enough gadgets in the film which is kind of what Bond is famous for, and secondly why the hell did they wreck that beautiful car I nearly cried. All in all it is a top film!!!

Daniel Craig is great as the rough yet charming Bond. Bit disappointed about the sloppy romance bit - let's be honest, you want to see Bond kick some a***s and not say "I love you". Anyway, a good recovery and Craig was back with his "My name is Bond, James Bond" bit at the end. Also loved the Bond cliches served in a slightly ironic way. I hope they sign Craig for more movies, he is every inch the great spy!

I went to this film determined to hate it and I was disgusted to find I loved it. It's so far from all the other Bonds I knew and loved I couldn't see it coming together and keeping the "integrity" that is Bond. The combination works - it keeps you on the edge of your seat and extracts an emotional response. You can believe the extremes that Bond goes through. Daniel Craig rivals Sean Connery as the best Bond. A must see.

I can only sum up this film with one word and that is GREAT!!! Everything to do with it is great: the action, the stunts, the soundtrack, the acting and most importantly the plot. I'm a massive JB fan and this instalment hasn't let me down with its fast-pace action and humour - a great Bond. Overall, It will without a doubt be one of the best films of the year!

If you come expecting a typical Bond movie you'll be surprised...because this is romance mixed with thriller. The movie is different, which is good to know. But the downside is that it's too long and if you gotta make a Bond movie would you damn well put some gadgets in...!!!!

Daniel Craig is excellent as Bond and the movie is outstanding. I would say this is the best Bond film to date.
