Reviews

Amazon.co.uk

The most successful invigoration of a cinematic franchise since Batman Begins, Casino Royale offers a new Bond identity. Based on the Ian Fleming novel that introduced Agent 007 into a Cold War world, Casino Royale is the most brutal and viscerally exciting James Bond film since Sean Connery left Her Majesty's Secret Service. Meet the new Bond; not the same as the old Bond. Daniel Craig gives a galvanising performance as the freshly minted double-0 agent. Suave, yes, but also a "blunt instrument," reckless and possessed with an ego that compromises his judgment during his first mission to root out the mastermind behind an operation that funds international terrorists. In classic Bond film tradition, his global itinerary takes him to far-flung locales, including Uganda, Madagascar, the Bahamas (that's more like it) and Montenegro, where he is pitted against his nemesis in a poker game, with hundreds of millions in the pot. The stakes get even higher when Bond lets down his armour by falling in love with Vesper (Eva Green), the ravishing banker's representative fronting him the money.

For longtime fans of the franchise, Casino Royale offers some retro kicks. Bond wins his iconic Aston Martin at the gaming table, and when a bartender asks if he wants his martini "shaken or stirred," he disdainfully replies, "Do I look like I give a damn?". There's no Moneypenny or "Q," but Dame Judi Dench is back as the exasperated M who, one senses, admires Bond's "bloody cheek." A Bond film is only as good as its villain, and Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre, who weeps blood, is a sinister dandy. From its punishing violence and virtuoso action sequences to its romance, Casino Royale is a Bond film that, in the words of one character, 'makes you feel it', particularly during an excruciating torture sequence. Double-0s, Bond observes early on, "have a short life expectancy". But with Craig, there is new life in the old franchise yet, as well as genuine anticipation for the next one when, at last, the signature James Bond theme kicks in following the best last line ever in any Bond film. To quote Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin, "now I know what I've been faking all these years". --Donald Liebenson

5.0 out of 5 stars High Intensity in High Definition, 26 Jun 2007
What is probably the best James Bond film is a fantastic introduction to the amazing quality of the Blu Ray High-Definition system. Its almost worth splashing out on a player and HD screen for this movie alone. The quality is truly stunning - you can even see the individual hairs on the mongoose in the fight scene with the cobra. Every shot is a joy, every close up revealing and, with uncompressed audio, the chase scene at the beginning and the collapsing building at the end made my living room move beneath me. In terms of the acting, I think Daniel Craig is the best Bond and Mads Mikkelsen is the perfect villian as Le Chiffre. In case you haven't realised, I liked the film and loved the Blu Ray technology !

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good, 2 Oct 2007
By SHANN "SHANN" (England, London) - See all my reviews
When I heard Daniel Craig was the new Bond I dont think I was alone in gasping with horror!! However, that highlighted my ignorance to his superb acting ability and the latest installment in the Bond franchise delivers superbly. On Blue Ray it is just even better provided you have a good quality TV. As for the film, it has grit, style, great writing and is more in the tone of how Bond was originally written and conceptualised. This being before it was taken and moulded into a more palletable figure for Hollywood at the time. Needless to say theres plenty of action, great acting and its well worth buying. I am not a huge fan of Bond but I am compelled to appreciate the quality of this film. Buy it!!
