9/10
Quite possibly my favourite bond film
2 January 2007
After reading several not very flattering opinions of this film, I thought it right to add my own opinion to this film. I'd like to discuss a couple of points mentioned in previous comments.

1) Roger's age - I know Roger was in his late 50's when this movie was made but I don't think it really affects the flow of the film. I actually think this is one of Roger's better films.

2). One of the worst bond films of all time - Lot's of comments refer to this movie as being Roger's worst and possibly one of the worst Bond movies of all time. For me the movie has all the essential bond elements a sexy bond girl, a great theme song, terrific bad guy (Christopher Walken) and Roger on top form. The humour is there throughout the film and it just feels like a bond film. Compare this to 'for your eyes only' which never felt like a bond film to me. I feel it is certainly worthy of a much higher rating than 6.0.

Casino Royale (2006)
8/10
A Very good first Bond outing for Daniel Craig
30 November 2006
As a Bond fan I was both sceptical and excited about watching Casino Royale. Sceptical you may ask? Well as a BIG Roger fan I've always enjoyed the humorous side of Bond. First and foremost though Daniel Craig is really good in his first outing. In my opinion he has the right balance between aggression and humour. The film opens at a frantic pace and the opening action is superb. I also really enjoyed the way the plot unfolded and all is explained at the end. My only gripe with this movie is the lack of a real bad guy.

Daniel Craig delivers the essential Bond aura that was sadly lacking from Dalton and Brosnan. I recommend watching this movie and feel that the legend that is James Bond is in safe hands.
