James Bond: Casino Royale review by ZS
Better than average Bond, but too deliberately twisty.

Daniel Craig doesn't meet the typical expectation of a Bond character. Instead of a slick, smooth operator, we have a slightly rougher character, with a kind of sadism more true to the novels than that shown in earlier films.
The film includes many standard Bond-film features, but cleverly uses these as a starting point to develop the Bond theme somewhat from previous films.
As to be expected, some first-rate action sequences and wit. Overall, definitely a welcome addition to the franchise.

James Bond: Casino Royale review by Jawbreaker
Return to form
(0) of (1) members found this review helpful.
My first blu ray and a real demo disk for the format. A return to form for Bond, receiving a new facelift in the shape of Daniel Craig. This film marks a new direction, taking onboard the lessons seen from the excellent Bourne series. A clear picture that really shows why blu ray is miles ahead of the standard DVD format. The only disappointment is the lack of extras, which was corrected in a recent special edition. Something that looks to be repeated in the latest Bond blu ray release. Shameful commercialism from the Bond producers! Just rent instead!

James Bond: Casino Royale review by Rubber Ducky
Superb addition to the Bond stable
(0) of (1) members found this review helpful.
OK I admit I was one of those who thought Daniel Craig wouldn't be a convincing Bond. I now have to eat my words as he is utterly superb and without doubt the best Bond, in my opinion. He gives the role credulity as he is totally believable in every way, from the opening sequence where he is not prepared to lose his man, through the love scenes, to the outsmarting of the opposition. Plus, for the ladies, THOSE swimming shorts! A great story with stunning action sequences and some good special effects. There is humour too, and it has less of the 'groan factor'. Judi Dench continues to be brilliant as the doyenne of secret service bosses, 'M'. A must see and, hopefully, the new mould for future Bonds.

James Bond: Casino Royale review by Chris Callard
Bond Year Zero
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
With the introduction of Daniel Craig as a new Bond, this doesn't just add more to the familiar formula – it creates a whole new mould. When did Connery, Moore, Dalton et al ever get believable plot, actual scars from fighting, or, dare it be said, emotional depth? Craig as Bond spends the film ridiculing the past conventions that we have known and loved, the Martinis, the dapper dressing, the sheer invincibility. Why couldn't every Bond in the franchise have been like this?
