Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review

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 Ultimate version of this Bond film, 25 Oct 2008
By KH (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
Rather than focussing on the film, which is well reviewed, here is a quick run-down of the extras on this "Deluxe Blu-Ray" version over the DVD Collector's Edition and original Blu-ray versions and the DVD Deluxe Edition.

Firstly, those interested in the Blu-ray version over the DVD will be keen to know that all of the extras are in high definition, with the exception of the "Bond Girls" and "Chris Cornell music video" extras which are DVD resolution. Obviously there are some shots within the other extras that aren't full HD quality.

Disc 1 extras:
- crew commentary
- picture-in-picture visual commentary (Blu-Ray only)
- James Bond quiz (Blu-Ray only)

Disc 2 extras:
1 deleted scenes (x4)
2 Road to Casino Royale
3 Ian Fleming's Incredible Creation
4 James Bond in the Bahamas
5 Ian Fleming: Secret Road to Paradise
6 Death in Venice
7 Becoming Bond Documentary (from original edition, HD)
8 James Bond: For Real documentary (from original edition, HD)
9 Bond Girls are Forever (from original edition, low definition)
10 Art of the Freerun
11 Catching A Plane storyboard to screen
12 Freerun Chase storyboard sequence
13 Filmmaker Profiles
14 Chris Cornell music video (low definition)

Of the new features, most fall into the category of interview-based documentaries with clips of the final film, although a few (items 6 and 10 in particular) are behind the scenes "how did they do it" material.

I would recommend this version if you have the earlier DVD version but have since bought a Blu-ray player, as the Blu-Ray quality is excellent and there are some good new features. If you have the original Blu-ray version, only buy it if you really want the extra documentaries and like watching people sitting talking! If you haven't bought any previous version and have a Blu-Ray player then the extra cost over the DVD Deluxe Edition is certainly worthwhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the bigger picture 007, 8 Feb 2009
By Mr. M. Randall (Sale, Cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There's one word that describes this film and it's new presentation from Sony Pictures - Perfection.
This is one of the best Bond films made in-fact one of the best Action films made..... ever.
The original release was good - in terms of picture quality and sound but the presentation box and special features were, well poor. It has less to offer than the early DVD Bond releases from a few years ago.

This comes beautifully packaged in a thick tipple fold double disc set with glossy brochure of the film in the middle. The box feels nicely made with tick textured card that is very sturdy. The discs contain hours of special features including BD Live. The documentaries on how Flemming came to write Casino Royale and how Broccoli & Wilson came to make the film including the trouble of rights in the 50's & 60's and they talk about why it was the right time now to make the first 007 adventure.

My pick of the extras are 'The Road to Casino Royale' & 'Ian Flemming's Incredible Creation'.

For any Bond fan this is an absolute must have. Well presented and polished superbly to deliver an excellent 007 adventure in it's finest form.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than original version of Blu Ray, 13 Nov 2008
By R. A. Qureshi "Wra-heal" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Got it this week, I found it better than original version of Blu ray. Better colours, features...

Some people like PCM of original version BUT it's sounds 99.9% same in DD TrueHD on my surround system (Denon 3808 AMP/MA Gold Speakers)

I'll suggest if you are looking for Casino Royale in Blu Ray than go for this one rather than original one.

I hope this will help you.
