69/100 Bond must stop a global financier from providing millions to terrorists via a poker game. I loved all the characters and this is an exciting and thoroughly entertaining film. That being said, there's no reason for it to be this long. The embassy race at the beginning went way too long, the airport chase went way too long, the poker game went way too long, the whole romance thing was dragged out, etc. I love action films and I don't mind long segments in a film if they keep them engaging but I found myself anxiously waiting for them to just 'get on with it' far too often. - DrNostromo.com

Casino Royale (2006) is not just entertaining action, but contributes a ton to film history. Nearly everything about this movie is perfect - the fights, plot, and most of all, the iconic torture scene. The only things about this movie that don't deliver flawlessly are the slightly exaggerated acting at times, and the dynamic structure of the protagonist, James Bond. He starts off as a guy without much fear, but grows much more emotional by the end. While this isn't automatically a flaw, I usually prefer the protagonist to have a tough personality throughout, similar to "John Wick" (2014). Overall, this is an extremely good film with a single minor flaw (acting in some scenes) along with one aspect I didn't like. Whether you like action or not, there's a heart to this film that most people will feel. Everyone should watch this at least once, if not as many times as you want.

This generally considered the best Bond film and for me it's top 3.

Depressingly predictably Hollywood. This is hardly a 007 movie, and can't be called a "film". It's just the same Hollywood formula of contriving a story to be as depressing as possible. The same formula Hollywood had prided itself on since about 1965. It's very dull, and there's no imagery. 007 films once had exotic scenery that was done in a cinematic way. No more. This has absolutely nothing to do with Daniel Craig. It doesn't matter who plays 007 when the writer and director are control freaks for hatefulness. If you can stay awake through the dull scenery and ridiculous lines (Bond even says it doesn't matter what cards you have in a poker game. This movie goes beyond "retarded"), then you wonder what the plot is. Bond goes through a kidnapping ordeal and losing in cards, and he's obviously a victim of card cheating, but this genius doesn't suspect that. Then, we get the predictable ending that is so Hollywood. This movie would be the worst Bond movie ever if not for "A View to a Kill".

It honestly wasn't bad and I really hate Daniel Craig as James Bond, he seems to be the only person on earth that does NOT want to be James Bond. And it kind of sucks watching someone play Bond that doesn't look like he wants to be there. And then there is the fact that they rebooted the franchise, and I am not a fan of that either. And, well, the film had 3 endings didn't it? I mean, literally there were two natural endings but they milked it for a third one. So by the time you get around to ending three you're screaming "enough already!" However, it started strong. I mean, it started REALLY strong even for a reboot. And it made the clever move of keeping the same M, and that helped stop the people like me that hate reboots from grumbling too much. It did away with Q and the over-the-top gadgets and, yeah, Python Q wasn't good plus every Bond has his own feel. So what was left was a solid action movie with mostly great acting (especially from the Villains) that was great... up until it SHOULD have ended the first time.

As reboots go, this is probably the best I've seen. Daniel Craig takes up the mantle of Ian Fleming's "007" in this two-part thriller that starts off at break neck speed and rarely drops below third gear for almost 2½ hours. Having just attained his licence to kill status - after disposing of the double-crossing "Dryden" (Malcolm Sinclair), he is now hot on the trail of a courier in an African republic. After a chase of pretty epic proportions that sees them leaping from buildings and cranes before "Bond" finally manages to trash an embassy, he obtains a cellphone with just one word. What does it mean? Well now he must use all of his roughly hewn skills to find out - a challenge that takes him via the Bahamas to Miami where he has two thwart a daring attack at the airport on a brand new airliner, that would bankrupt the manufacturer and make someone $100m. That someone is now seriously annoyed - and in quite considerable danger themselves, so phase two of the story starts - and this is where it gets interesting. Off to the beautiful land of Montenegro for the ultimate game of poker. Staked by a rather wary HM Government, he is put in the capable hands of "Vesper" (Eva Green) and with the help of local fixer "Mathis" (Giancarlo Giannini) faces his new nemesis "Le Schifre" (Mads Mikkelsen). Quite literally - winner takes all. The story here is strong, the plot has twists - especially towards the end; there is loads of action, gadgets - a cracking Aston Martin; and loads of glamour. That latter element was largely missing during the Dalton/Brosnan eras for this suave and debonaire super-spy. Craig exudes a classiness about him, and Green likewise as she quickly realises that his is a dangerous business. Mikkelsen makes for a good baddie - so much of his acting is done through his expressions, and here he radiates a sort of measured menace that proves quite effective as the story reaches it's rather painful climax! David Arnold has written a score that nods to the John Barry sweeping and orchestral style of the early films and the writing doesn't waste time trying with the puerile double-entendres that dogged some of the earlier outings for "Bond". The one man missing, rather notably, is "Q" and "Moneypenny" has become a bloke called "Villiers" (Tobias Menzies) working for Dame Judi Dench's no-nonsense "M". The denouement is as action packed as the rest of it, and it introduces us to the idea that there is an organisation out there guiding so much of the criminal fraternity. A spectre of things to come, perhaps? Let's hope this is a sign of a new and improved vivacity for this tiring franchise. This is a very good re-start.
