Saw this at the cinema, but obviously time for another viewing just before Quantum of Solace – which is set a mere 60 minutes after this one ends!

It would be hard to argue with the ‘best Bond yet’ tag. As is the current fashion (see Batman Begins / _Dark Knight), this is a reboot of the franchise, where everything gets a darkly realistic make over. No gadgets, no real Bond Babes, and Bond himself is grittier and deadlier than ever.

I personally like Daniel Craig as Bond. He’s less pretty, but more believable. The movie meets enough Bond stereotypes – plays with half of them! – to not totally alienate fans, but lacks any hint of cheesiness.

Looking forward to the sequel even more.

This is truly the greatest Bond film ever made. Daniel Craig is also the best Bond ever. No longer will Bond be merely a 2-dimensional male chauvinist; he has feelings, subtley, and finally some context.

I got bored. Not my kind of action movie. But then, I’m not a Bond fan.

as an action movie is brilliant but not to be called 007

the only problems i had with this movie was A: instead of baccarat they chose poker as the game. i understand poker is hot right now and more identifiable to the masses but i think it would have been nice to keep it as the original. and B: that lieter was black. call me a racist but lieter was clearly white. he’s in a couple of fleming’s bond books and the character is white. especially for the time period when casino royale was written i don’t think it was ppopular for a black man to be in the cia. i could be terrribly worng and i have no problem w/him being black it just seemed wrong.
this was the first james bond book i really liked and thought they did a good job with the film. there obviously was more fight scenes, the book is v. short, and m is a woman- judi dench plays a great m. cold, calculated and brash, and most importantly still alive from the other bond movies so can’t be replaced. good job w/ the adaptation of the book.

i am not a Bond fan at all, in fact i don’t really like any other Bond movies. So when i watched this one with some friends i was pleasantly suprised to find out it was a really good movie.

Although everytime i sit in a wicker bottomed chair now i squirm a little!

Is there any way to truly delete a posting on this site??
