Bond was minted!
From the opening black and white sequence to the end (bar the crap theme tune) the film was firing on all possible cylinders.
Daniel Craig was superb, Bond is a killer, and Craig looked like he could kill. Looks like the Sean Bond as you could belive he could kill whilst Roger Moore could ony raise an eyebrow. Mr Brosnan has gone to #3 but he was a good bond too - when he killed Electra in the world is not enough you believed he was a glorified hitman. And the women seemed to like him.
But back to Casino Royale. No Q branch and no miss moneypenny - although a quick sly nod to her in one scene. Aston Martin was back, thank goodness they got rid of the damn beemers in the last one! there was no gadgets which was a good thing as in the book there was none either. Talking of Ian Flemings 1st Spy novel, the film stayed true, although the baddies were updated to be world terrorists and instead of playing the card game baccarat we saw bond pit his wits in high stake Texas Hold 'em which again is an update to current times.
There was never a dull moment in the film, cant wait to see the next one!

It sounds really good, i'm definately going to go and see it then!...though he won't be replacing Pierce as my favourite bond any time soon i'm sure!!
he will!
I used to be of a similar opinion to Tosh - the new them tune was crap!
Being a big fan of Audioslave i expected a lot better from Chris Cornell. But I have to say that hearing it with the opening credits it worked much better than on its own.
I reckon it may grow on me the more I watch the film, and I will be watching it a lot more as I thought it was superb!
I didn't know Chris Cornell was doing the new theme tune till I watched some show on Bond Tunes on Saturday - I used to love him in his Soundgarden days. I think it will be a grower.
i knew you were joking J - thoguht you would have been stoopid not to have liked it
