I saw Casino Royale tonight.
Now, first a little history, I am one of the largest James Bond fans I know.....I have seen all twenty films, can name them all in order, read a few books, and know alot more about the history of the character then most people.
Daniel Craig IS James Bond. Without a doubt the best since Connery.
And Casino Royale is one of the all time best Bond movies. Top five. Hell, maybe even top three. It was a fucking masterpiece.
It was the first Bond since probably the sixties that was not just a good Bond movie.....but a good movie all by itself.
It did for Bond what Batman Begins did for Batman....it reinvents him for a new generation, giving him more depth, realism and emotion.
It doesn't matter if you never liked Bond, it doesn't matter if you don't like spy movies......just see it.
I was blown away. After the atrociousness that has been the last few Bond movies (Die Another Day and Tommorrow Never Dies being among the all time worst ever) I didn't think we'd get to see a good modern Bond film...
I was wrong. See it. I'd recomend it to anyone.
