Amazon.com 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 Stills from Casino Royale (click for larger image)

BLu-Ray makes Bond better March 1, 2010 David E. Lyons (Richardson, TX) If you enjoyed Casino Royal in the thetre, you'll love this Blu-Ray DVD. Great quality movie experience of great action.
Its Bond! February 27, 2010 Steven (NYC) Cool movie, great deal for this dvd. I like it watched it twice, sound affects are awesome with a good home theater setup.
Casino Royale February 22, 2010 Gerry Gee If Sean were 35 today, this is how he would have played this part!!!! Sean Connery is "James Bond". I didn't care much for the actors that took on this role after him. I really tried to like Pierce in this roll but he just missed it it by a fraction. Daniel Craig brings the book version of Bond to the screen! "Casino Royale" is the best Bond movie script ever made. If you haven't seen it, do so! You won't be sorry!
Who doesn't love Bond? February 10, 2010 Lauren Adams (Rock Hill, SC USA) Well I love this movie in the first place! But then to see it in Blu-ray, like watching it brand new all over again! I'm a huge Bond fan, so for this movie to replace Goldfinger as my favorite Bond is saying something! A definite keeper for your collection!
It's not bad February 8, 2010 Jon Page (Los Angeles, CA) I prefer Brosnan playing Bond. I think he's a much better actor than Craig. This movie is decent with lots of action and running. Not as good as the other Bond movies but you won't fall to sleep with this.
