Re: Casino Royale Review (for those who havent read the book)
Great movie just saw it today. A great departure from the stunt fests that Bond movies had become. With Casino Royale, the bond franchise returned to its roots and Daniel Craig has done a superb job, atleast 10 times better than what i earlier expected from him. Portraying a arrogant, a semi sadist agent. The overall feel of the movie is a bit different from other bond movies and has a dark feel to it, there is plenty of action but nothing over the top except the Aston Martin flipping scene Nikhil mentioned. Bond chasing the suicide bomber through the arena and the construction site and finally the embassy was one of the best i've seen. The direction is good but i personally found the length of the movie too long. Also the pacing dragged a bit during the Casino Royale setting. Mikkelsen and Judy Dench are great in the acting department. Eva Green as Vesper Lynd is great eye-candy and manages to do a convincing job. Overall i'd rate 8/10 for this movie.
