James Bond - Casino Royale Film Review

Bond is back baby.

I enjoyed all the hype leading up the film which has been going on in England for the past month. It's funny to think there was such a fuss about a blonde Bond and people starting up online petitions, I wonder what they think now.

First things first this Bond film is excellent and not just because it's a new Bond but most importantly the script is good, a few of the last few Bond films the scripts have been very week.

I was reading an article today saying that the director wanted to start again with Bond and take it a new direction. All the Gadgets have gone and so has Bond's womanising. This Bond is very different from previous Bond films because it shows Bond's weaknesses and him making mistakes and showing his weaker side. I was a bit nervous when I read this because I didn't want the film to be littered with poor dialogue discussing every one's feelings (e.g. Dawsons Creek) but it's quite well done and doesn't get in the way of the action.

So what is Daniel Craig like as new Bond, well he is very good and bloody muscly. He takes his top off quite a lot in the film and is even naked getting whacked in the balls at one point (don't worry you don't see his dangly bits).

The baddy is not really that bad, doesn't have any spare nipples or golden guns. It's odd really even though the baddy isn't that bad or interesting you don't mind because you enjoy seeing Bond dashing about. In this way it isn't a classic Bond movie with iconic baddies or gadgets but saying that it is still a very interesting Bond movie.

It's a bit like Batman Begins compared to the other Batman films not as Iconic but equally as good and the Bond film is without doubt one of the best Bond films for a very long time if not ever. I don't really believe you can compare Bond films that much because they are SO different and in the end who cares which one is the best because they all have bits which are good.

The Bond babes are hot and the film rocks on at a decent pace and is finishes without you glancing at your watch.

I recommend you go see it. Other films I have reviewed this year
The Departed
Borat
Saw 3
