2008-01-07OK. If you haven't yet seen the movie you can take a look at the other reviews and let them ruin the story line for you... or you can take my word for it... bottom line, its exceptional! Its great to watch as a umd movie with the usual high quality that the psp offers. Why are you wasting you're time reading the rest of my comment? Action Lover + PSP Owner = Buy It!
2007-05-14This is a great film!! I love James Bond films but they were losing their edge. Well, Daniel Craig is the sharpest Bond since Sean Connery. He is sexy, sexy, sexy!!!! I loved this film so much I ordered the DVD and the PSP copies. Get for your own collection.
2007-02-05Daniel Craig is James Bond in CASINO ROYALE. It may be hard to say for sure but this film looks like it is the closest to the literary James Bond that Ian Fleming created. I would also say that it is the closest adaptation of one of the Fleming Bond novels into a film along with ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE and FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. Daniel Craig's James Bond is like a diamond in the rough. He has both the brains and brawn and we are not quite sure just how well versed he is in the finer aspects of the social graces. He seems to dismiss these petty frivolities in exchange for a more direct approach to getting his job done.
No doubt he will be compared to Sean Connery who seemed to posess all the tools and to Pierce Brosnan who was probably a close second to Connery, at least in the public's eye and is also Craig's immediate precedessor. Geoerge Lazenby in actuality was probably the best successor to Connery, but his public exposure leaves him virtually forgotten. Craig also seems to acomplish the feat of making Bond a flesh and blood hero and man, which was something Timothy Dalton tried to realize in his two Bond films. Physically Craig looks the part whether wearing a tuxedo or a polo shirt and kaki slacks but I think some of this can be atributed to his assuredness he seems to exude as Bond in compliment to his well toned physique. perhpas that was George Lazenby's strong point being the singular Bond who could have continued being Bond.
Daniel Craig will certainly go on being Bond if the stars truely foretell. This film stands on its own and also stands appart from the 20 films that preceeded it. Composer David Arnold makes a great statement on this point with his score by barely making any refferences to the James Bond Theme untill a full brown rendition in the closing scene.
Continuity as well as the cinematic Bond formula is out as well. Even the villian is not an all powerfull mega maniacal force. Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre is evil to be sure but he is a bit of an enigma being essesitally a weak man who rules his immediate world strenghtened by that weakness. Eva Green as Vesper Lynd is both Bond's business at hand ally as well as a love intrest. Yet she too has some flaws in her veneer making the pricipal charachters true to life and true to the way Ian Fleming molded his literary charachters. The film's plot is throughly engrossing being inteligently scripted yet mesmerizing and throughly intertaining as well. This is one of the best if not the best James Bond film.
2007-02-03daniel craig becomes the new james bond in this high octane action movie with awesome stunts,action sequences,and the ending is awesome.
untill i saw this movie sean connery was my favorite,but now my favorite is daniel craig.
run to your local video store and pick up this movie today,or better yet get it here.
this is one must-have movie.
daniel craig will return in "bond 22"
2007-02-02Daniel Craig is James Bond in what may be the best Bond film of them all. Sean Connery and George Lazenby were excelllent in their interpetations. This is a no-nonsense Bond in a no-nonsense film. This is the way I think Ian Fleming may have envisioned it. CASINO ROYALE is a whole new beggining. I really like this movie. Many of us waited for this one. We have not had a James Bond film of this stature since 1969. But in all sincerity, this is the way it should have been done back in 1962.

Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 1-JAN-2007
Media Type: 3\"" Mini DVD for PH
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
