Casino Royale

Caught the latest Bond flick the other week and was well impressed… Daniel Craig is "The Man" and he really rocks as the new James Bond. No more namby pamby Pierce Brosnan thank God! The opening sequence is particularly spectacular and the looking down the gun barrel (you know the bit they have at the beginning of all Bond films) was very cleverly incorporated into the action. The free running Sebastien Foucan who Bond chases at the start is incredible. The violence is hard and brutal and very realistic looking. I won’t spoil the plot but apparently it follows the book quite faithfully (in fact I will be shortly checking that out as I have bought the book). One of the bits I liked was the very end and what Bond says at the very end. Without a doubt the best Bond film since the Connery era.

Rating: 9/10
