Equal to the James Bond films of Sean Connery's time, and this is from someone who loved Sean Connery as Bond. Daniel Craig is absolutely amazing and a far different Bond than what we've seen before. The script is clever, the dialog is witty, the plot is superb, the action is exciting without being stupid like the previous two Bond films. This is a must see.

I'm late to the Craig iteration but I think I prefer sillier Bonds. Here they gritty him up by turning him into an emotionally damaged yet professionally hardened loose cannon who breaks the rules but gets results and...okay he's more like every 80's cop but dammit he's the best we've got! You're on thin ice McBond, now turn in your badge and go save the queen! You're a national hero and a disgrace to the force!

It's not going too far to call the early chase scenes the strongest extended action sequence in the entire franchise. Which Campbell reignites for the second time. The first hour is tremendous, but the poker tournament in the middle section is thoroughly uninteresting, and everything that comes after it is completely useless.

This attempted reboot at the James Bond franchise trades Bond's signature hollow unrealism for a dose of attempted modernity and character. While at times it works, Casino Royale tries too hard at not being a Bond flick to ever succeed as one. Most notably, the film's third act is a nonsensical mess that fits nowhere with the prior 100 minutes. Why do you people like this shit?

Anyone who thought Daniel Craig couldn't pull off this incarnation of Bond (especially those polluting the internet with websites, blogs, and petitions against the Blond Bond decision) must've been kicking themselves after eventually seeing this. Craig is a hugely exceptional action star here, appearing multi-layered, yet fierce and supports a very strong screen presence. The film around him is excellent, featuring many great action scenes, including an enthralling and intense card game.

An amazing and complete re-invention of the once great but tiring Bond genre. The brave step of bringing Bond into the modern world is done with electrifying pace, a pulsating opening chase sequence, on foot, and an altogether more clinical James. The cheese, double entendre and gadgets have been toned down but the mandatory evil villain, stunning women and Bond charm remain making this the perfect mix of classic Bond and modern film.

Best Bond movie ever - too bad about the girl! Craig is the perfect choice for this reboot, instilling Bond with an edgier feel, whilst maintaining the essence of his cool. This Bond is violent and vulnerable. Campbell has picked up a trick or two from, say, the Bourne franchise, which rubs off nicely on the action sequences. It's not perfect, however, with one set piece too many, and Eva Green as the worst bond girl, since that chick who used to be a dude.

Casino Royale is, by far, the best Bond movie to date. The Bond franchise, since Pierce was involved, turned into a big commercial for whatever products they were shilling for, as well as a steady stream of lame one liners. This finally has strong character development and believable action sequences and Daniel Craig is by far the best man to play Bond since Connery.

The absence of hi-tech stuff, saving world in last 5 min and invulnerability is gone and reality, naturalism and explicit violence represented by lot of visible blood is on the move. Daniel Craig is cool and believable, Eva Green is beautiful and Mads Mikkelsen is slimy. The opening song is bitchin good!

The humor, the look, the action, the story, and Daniel Craig are so incredible and new that Casino Royale makes all of the other Bond movies seem indestinguishable from one another. Like what High Noon did to westerns, and well, Batman Begins did to Batman movies, Casino Royale has perfectly recreated Bond. Be sure to watch as many of the old Bonds before you see this, because it'll be hard to go back to them afterward. Awesome!

(after repeat viewings) As a form of pure entertainment from start to finish, it may just take the cake. Call it the Martin Campell-effect, who literally 'defibrillates' the franchise with a globe-trotting adventure that is equal parts exciting and emotionally engaging. The latter element may just make Goldeneye the definitive Bond film, as the typical Bond girl role is somewhat downplayed as a damsel in distress/love interest, despite a great performance and from everyone else for that matter.

After having now watched the previous 20 Bond films in the past few weeks, it remarkable how this film managed to take the series in a new direction (even if feels like it has shades of Dalton). In this world, I can't see Bond even laughing, let alone making a joke. I really want a Sony Ericsson now.

Casino Royale is a great Bond movie. Good villain, good girl, good action, and everything else that makes a good Bond movie. This new Bond is grittier than others, this new movie had to up the ante in an action genre that has gotten grittier over the years; a la Jason Bourne. Daniel Craig is a good bond. He isn't as cheeky as others but he is more brutal and pained than others. This is a Bond movie for people who want to see Bond in pain, not the happy-go-lucky Bond of the Brosnan days.

Craig's Bond has enough athleticism (see the fabulous opening chase sequence), smarts ("How the hell does he know these things?"), and devil-may-care charm (see his valet impersonation) to make most of this film a really fun watch. Only his female-related exploits fail to entertain, moving from eye-rolling alpha male smoothness (though surprisingly it's Mathis who takes the misogyny cake with his mansplaining of poker) to unwanted and unwarranted romance that really drags out the film's ending.

Nothing that makes Bond Bond is found here. There's no humor in the entire film and there's only one great action scene in the beginning but after that there's nothing. The poker scenes eventually turn into the ending of Rounders and have zero tension. The Bond girl is emotionally weak and the villain is one of the worst in Bond history. It eventually morphs into a romance movie which was gruesome to watch. Craig's portrayal of Bond is completely wrong which sucks cause I typically love his work

Casino Royale is yet another kick up the arse for a dying franchise. However, instead of the mild shake-up the other 'reboots' entail, this marks a huge change for the series. The core elements we all know and love remain, but they are all justified. It's surprising to see that this is the work of the same crew as the previous films.

"That's because you know what I can do with my little finger." Freaking genius. Great start to the new Bond era.

I don't know if it's the best "Bond movie", but it's certainly the best movie with Bond... Following suit after Batman Begins, the writers, along with Campbell's direction, manage to give characterization to a totally inhuman icon. As a kid you no longer only think he's cool, you actually know the guy, despite his past being just as mysterious as it's ever been. That's no easy feat. Great villain, great story, but maybe a little too exhausting of a final act.

Well, a Fleming-perfect James Bond had already been done with Timothy Dalton's essaying of the character, so that is hardly new; however, I can't recall any of the films getting as close to the gritty weariness of the novels as this one. The only problem is it doesn't quite differentiate itself from its competition. Craig is a good Bond, but in this film he seems to be just an anglo answer to Jason Bourne.

James Bond reborn. Daniel Craig was an amazing James Bond in this series reboot. Not only was the action very fast and hard hitting but Craig adds more depth to the character of Bond. The biggest negative of this movie is that it is very long and at times felt like it had multiple endings until the credits finally start rolling. Still, I'm willing to overlook the length because the film was a lot of fun. The poker scene is my favorite and Eva Green is one of the best Bond girls out there.

Completely overpraised. Yes, this Bond hews closely 2 the novel's colder, one-liner-free version (so did Dalton's first outing btw), but the film itself is still standard operating procedure. It's easy 2 ignore Bond falls in love in this film given how connect-the-dots the rest of the narrative is. So formulaic the final setpiece is a meeting at some Mediterranean ruins scheduled 4 demolition! Wonder if that's coming down around his ears at the last minute? & P.S.: poker just ain't that gripping

When Daniel Craig was announced as the new James Bond many people, including myself were skeptical of the choice. This movie showed us how wrong we were to doubt. A fantastic intro, brutal and mesmerizing action, stellar parkour, and actual characterization make this the best Bond movie since Connery held the role. A must see for Bond and action movie fans alike.

A simply brilliant reboot of the Bond franchise. Daniel Craig breathes new life into the traditional role, showing that he might yet turn out to be the best 007 since Connery. Meanwhile the dark tone, absence of fancy gadgets, and comparatively harsh violence make this addition to the series a compelling thriller in its own right.

Casino Royale is a solid film, whether or not it is part of the James Bond franchise. Daniel Craig's portrayal of the lead is cold, calculating and most importantly, real. The film feels fresh when compared to the previous installments, and it is an excellent way to reboot the franchise. It has emotional connections, explosive and entertaining action scenes, as well as one of the most suspenseful poker games I've seen, real or not.

The greatest action flick of all time in my opinion. Daniel Craig is simply awesome as a young Bond. Not only do we witness his development into the calm, cool, and collected 007 we're all familiar with, but it's a very realistic and believable transition. He learns the responsibility that comes with being a spy and it's a truly tragic, painful growing experience for the young agent. Brilliant cinematography, perfect casting, and awesomely-timed writing make for the best Bond ever.

The best Bond film of the modern era by a country mile. The bloated cliche of the later Brosnan films is replaced with everything Bond (as both a character and a franchise) can and should be - beautiful, brutal, exhilerating, tragic, intoxicating, romantic, unforgiving, intelligent, blunt. Armed with dark romance in its heart, this violent outing might be the best action-thriller of the 21st century so far.

I like Craig, he makes a good Bond, & I like the sultry atmosphere & charisma of this film. However I just cannot buy into the general wankfest that surrounds this movie. The plot is average, the script dire & the relationship between Bond & his "Bond Girl" flat & tedious. The fucking poker scene is endless also.

This movie to me is a pitch perfect example of a flawlessly executed spy thriller, not to mention a Bond movie.

I enjoyed that I was able to see this with friends--a bit of chit chat about the film (like laughing about the bikini-clad goddess riding the white horse and being adored by three native children) makes it an enjoyable, not too serious, experience. However, it seems the filmmakers want us to take it seriously, what with the torture and the love story. I'm not convinced it's worthy of that kind of emotional investment. Also, Vesper's motivation does not make sense to me, a big problem, I think.

He isnt perfect with karate and ninja moves, he gives the bad guys a good ole fashion ass wooping like your average american brute, even though he is british.

What a great return for the Bond series. Daniel Craig might be the best one. Plus, it had a lot of poker which scores points with me. For some people, that might lose them, because poker can at times be slow and difficult to watch, but in the context of Bond's character, it went off so well. Vesper might be my favorite Bond girl.

Turned Bond back into Bond. Amazing action and Craig was a great choice for the iconic agent!

it is about time bond has had a face lift, apparantly hollywood thought we would be satisfied with the same ideas, style, writing for about 40 years, then this came and completely changed the status quo for bond movies. the reinvention done here could only be bested by superior writing and an introduction of standout characters that hopefully will come in the next couple bond movies.

Interesting. More of a dramatic approach to Bond, and also give us a look at why Bond is the way he is, and how he got to be a 007.

I'd like to see Craig lighten up a little more, and some of the poker stuff was silly, but what won me over was the dynamite chase sequence near the beginning; without a doubt one of the best chases I've ever seen. The other action scenes in the movie were satisfying, but paled in comparison to such an exhiliratingly choreographed chase. The movie avoided the convoluted plotting of some of the previous entries... the story was simple enough to follow, but complex enough to stay interesting.

This is easily the best Bond flick in recent memory. They drop a lot of the gimmicky special effects, cliche villains and other tired Bond props (notice the near total lack of special gizmos - all for the better, I promise!) to create an extremely fresh and gritty film that feels like no other Bond, yet somehow still fits in. Daniel Craig, although not as smooth as some past 007's, is somewhat brutish, but is still believable as a Bond who's still wet behind the ears and rough around the edges.

Boring and humourless. This bond has no charm, no style, no tongue-in-cheek. very disappointing. I liked the 1967 satire version *much* better.

Best Bond movie since the Connery dayes. Had to take off 10 points for the cheesy love montage near the end, but all-in-all a solid action movie with great characters and good acting.

One of the most intelligent action films I've ever seen. Craig brings a feral trait to Bond, while still maintaining the humor and wit that the character is known for. A solid, if implausible story drives the film from the first scene to the last, and I'll be damned if we don't finally get to see a char acter arc for one of the most iconic characters of all time.

This is how bond films should be done. Gone are the stupid gizmos, over the top villains, and the generally tame acting. Daniel Craig gives new breath into the old franchise, sporting a mad gleam about a somewhat rookie James Bond.

A brilliantly directed relaunching of the Bond franchise, the first real, serious take on the extravagant spy series that functions not only as a great action film, but as a smart character piece at the same time.

Daniel Craig brings it as a new, grittier, caustic breed of Bond, and the movie retains the gunplay, the chases, the international espionage, the exotic locations, the beautiful women, the casinos, and the brassy music and style we ask for from the franchise in spades - only repackaged with a streamlined, more realistic plot, subtler humor, a brutal new edge, and some gorgeous visuals. Bond is back, baby, and he's brought the spirit of Ian Fleming with him. (Ytadel's series ranking: #4 of 24)

It was OK but still not the best bond. The pace was slow and if you don't like poker (or understand it) half the film will be pointless for you. Still, it was nice to see a mean bond again.

For me, the movie never tops the exhilarating foot chase near the beginning, but that's not to say it's not excellent the rest of the way through. Although, it does feel like it's about to end two or three times before it actually does.

Daniel Craig has the potential to make a great 007, but the material he was given in Casino Royale was over-emphisised and very predictable. It would have worked in another agent series, but for 007 average is simply not good enough. The new style of Bond isn't up to my tastes either, especially seeing as the character is no longer likeable. His arrogant attitude and frankly didn't make me feel sympathetic for him in the slightest. More realistic, but when has Bond ever been about realism?

Casino Royale is an absolutely excellent addition to the James Bond catalog. It's probably the best Bond movie in nearly 40 years and it staples Daniel Craig as possibly the best Bond ever.

Craig makes an excellent "blunt instrument" Bond, and during most of the film the action sequences and the storyline fit well with this brutal incarnation of the secret agent. The last act, though, was contrived and confusing.
