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 galvanizing 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 “armor” and falls 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 Astin-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

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Good Movie
Casino Royale is an excellent movie, especially on Blu-ray, and Sony has done an amazing job at making a near perfect disc. In my personal opinion the movie plays a little long towards the end, so that’s what I gave it a 4 out of 5, and not a perfect score.

Danial Craig is amazing as a younger Bond who is just starting off his career and hasn’t had the time or experience to mold him into the suave/sophisticated James Bond as of yet. This lends to much more action in the new movies, … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mind-boggling
The most action-packed Bond film to date. Daniel Craig is superb. And as for the blue-ray edition of “Casino Royale”, well, this is the definitive blue-ray film. If you need a reason to go blue-ray, just watch “Casino Royale” in blue-ray. It speaks for itself.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Casino Royale
Pretty good but I don’t understand why James Bond fell so in love with Vesper. Wasn’t really believable. But it’s James Bond and I do love these movies!!!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great movie
The reinvention of James Bond starts off perfect. Bond is edgy and has the classic Bond swagger. The blu ray is great quality and is a must have for HD owners.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastico
Excelente, ha valido la pena cada centavo, aun comprandola a destiempo. Daniel Craig tal vez no sea uno de los mas representativos James Bond, pero si uno de los mas activos y audaces. Sin duda, una gran pelicula, digna de los inicios de James Bond…
