Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00" status. "M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly-promoted 007 on his first mission that takes him to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face Le Chiffre, a ruthless financier under threat from his terrorist clientele, who is attempting to restore his funds in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. "M" places Bond under the watchful eye of the Treasury official Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together. Le Chiffre's cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in a way Bond could never imagine, and he learns his most important lesson: Trust no one.

Summary: Daniel Craig IS James Bond
Comment: Daniel 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 possess 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 predecessor. Geoerge Lazenby in actuality was probably the best successor to Connery, but his public exposure leaves him virtually forgotten. Craig also seems to accomplish 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 attributed to his assuredness he seems to exude as Bond in compliment to his well toned physique. Perhaps 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 truly foretell. This film stands on its own and also stands apart from the 20 films that preceded it. Composer David Arnold makes a great statement on this point with his score by barely making any references to the James Bond Theme until a full brown rendition in the closing scene.
Continuity as well as the cinematic Bond formula is out as well. Even the villain is not an all powerful mega maniacal force. Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre is evil to be sure but he is a bit of an enigma being essentially a weak man who rules his immediate world strengthened by that weakness. Eva Green as Vesper Lynd is both Bond's business at hand ally as well as a love interest. Yet she too has some flaws in her veneer making the principal characters true to life and true to the way Ian Fleming molded his literary characters. The film's plot is thoroughly engrossing being intelligently scripted yet mesmerizing and thoroughly entertaining as well. This is one of the best if not the best James Bond film.

Summary: James Bond Is Back and He has a New Look
Comment: Daniel Craig is James Bond in what may be the best Bond film of them all. Sean Connery and George Lazenby were excellent in their interpretations. 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 beginning. 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.
