Casino Royale (2006)
10/10
Brilliant!
25 November 2006
A New Bond. A lighter touch. A more humane side to Bond. And a damn good theme song make this one of the strongest Bond films in the LONGEST time. Filled with action packed sequences from beginning to end, the film defines what a new age Bond film is supposed to mean in this day and age, and in many ways, this defies how most films are made today and what exactly they are. This film has the highest degree of style and class as far as acting, direction, cinematography, editing, music, you name it, it has it.

But one of the stronger elements of this film is the knack it has for human interest. It has a lot of human interest to be explored, from Bond's yearning, learning relationship throughout, to his ripe curiosity for who he really is, and what he must do, and what he feels for those who is exacting revenge. Of course it is designed to be an action "Bond" film, but goes much deeper than the usual Bond fare.

All in a word, every aspect of this film is just simply put - Brilliant. Exactly what a film made today should be. And the effects are all pretty modern. Only used CGI TWICE in this film...something that cannot usually be said about films today. Brilliant.

One more thing: Daniel Craig is the MAN!
