Daniel Craig was better than I thought he would be, but he's still no James Bond.

you're wrong again.

casino royale was awesome as hell... and dan craig definitely nailed the role of james bond. i had my doubts, but after seeing him in that role, he's definitely james bond.

Well I think we can all agree that Daniel Craig did a better job than expected, correct?

Looking forward to 22.

apparently you don't know anything about james bond and have never read any of the books.

if you want nothing but "action," watch some ****** steven segal.

casino royale was by far the closest to any of the books, and daniel craig is by far the closest bond ever. now if you just don't like james bond, that's too bad for you. but casino royale IS james bond.

I was skeptical of Craig at first cause I thought Brosnan was a fvckin awesome Bond, but the new Casino Royale is my favorite of the series (granted I haven't seen them all). I thought it was sort of long but that was my only complaint, and a minor one. No more ridiculous fvckin special effects and gadgets, definitely can approve of that.

yup... i thought the same thing.

They could have improved on the poker scene but as a whole the movie was outstanding. I can't wait for the next one. Brioni FTW

I liked it, and really liked Craig as Bond, but I think overall the movie suffered from some messy writing/direction and an overabundance of Sony product placement. ;)

Nah, Blofeld killed her while shooting at Bond's car after their wedding.

Casino Royale - The Best James Bond movie in the last twenty years....

and why? Because it shook up the tired formula and got mean and lean.... The next one is to be a sequel, they'll get more into the ground work this new Bond film set up....

Craig kicks ass...
