Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The so called Bond fans who cannot get over the fantasy gadgets and fantasy women and fantasy everything need to grow up. This is the 21st century Bond,and I am very glad to say the movie makers have,with this movie successfully transformed Bond into a 21st century person rather than letting him rot as a relic of the 60's. This movie is the cinematic equivalent of a shaken martini,it has style,charm and speed. Craig admittedly may not fit the typical Bond image which earlier actors played so good,but he has his own personality and his grimness and dark charm is actually believable and entertaining. He has done a great job by letting Bond finally FEEL and react normally rather than be a one liner murdering machine. Vesper is great and the chemistry was delicious. I agree Judi Dench was boring and Q was necessary and a few scenes went out of hand but there have been worse movies and worse Bond movies.This is a great movie and far better than many spy flicks.

Somtimes, it seems, film makers (especially American) think they can shove whatever they want down our throats and we're going to swallow! Such is the case with 'Casino Royale' (or any other James Bond film for that matter). Isn't it amazing how Bond can walk into any place on earth and know exactly where to find what he is looking for?? In Casino Royale he simply waltzes into a 5-Star hotel's UNMANNED security room, easily finds a tape he's looking for and then finds what's he's looking for on the tape within seconds. Seriously?!? And they expect be to believe $120million can easily be withdrawn in cash (mind you!) WITHOUT any security measurements, and without the account holder present??? Bond's sports car crashes at high speed and rolls about ten times, yet the next day he walks about without even limping!! Ya-a-awn.... This is why films like King Kong are more believable: they were intended to be fantasy films where reality can be thrown overboard. James Bond films (Transporter, Fast & Furious, ANY Marvel superhero film, etc,) substitute credibility for effect. Even these 'effective' action sequences can be terribly daunting to watch if they are senseless. Some credit due to Casino Royale, though, the action scenes are much more believable than the crap they write into the latest Fast & Furious films. And - apart from being absolutely dashing - Daniel Craig makes a credible Bond. (Oh, and the love interest scenes in Casino Royale were absolutely pathetic and so blatantly forced, it hurts.) Bond is a Casanova, keep it that way!

No more or no less. It is a fantastic movie. The "James Bond: Casino royale" is awesome. James Bond films are all good., but this is suprisingly good. It's based on a book. It's set in modern times. The agent himself is Daniel Craig and he is my favourite character. If you are fan of James Bond films, you may like it.

After things started to get a bit silly towards the end of Pierce Brosnan's time as 007 (the invisible car anyone?) this reboot/prequel tries to address the balance, and bring Bond into the 21st century with Daniel Craig putting on the famous tuxedo.I thought this film was gritty, and darker than past films, but Craig undoubtedly is good in the role, and Eva Green is a suitably beautiful Bond girl.It's not my favourite Bond film but it certainly is a game changing film in the series.
