Casino Royale...

I just have to say that I saw Casino Royale today and I was blown away, it has got to be the best Bond film ever. The acting, the story, the characters, they fleshed everything out and make the whole thing more human and more believeable. If you're a fan of the old too cool to get messy Bond, then you're in for a shock. This time around the character is griddier, more like you would expect a man like this to be.

There's no more of that British versus the Russians, they updated the conflict, updated the locales and they made sure that everything fits in today's times around today's problems. Most of the old Bonds were focused on the Cold War, which has been over now more than a decade. This one offers the War on Terroism as its venue.

The new Bond actor, Daniel Craig did a great job, I really had my doubts at first but he more than lived up to the name. I think he might have actually played the best Bond since Connery, if not better than Connery himself.

I don't want to give away too much, but one last thing that came as a pleasant surprise in this movie was the lead actress, Eva Green.

From the second that she walked into the shot I thought to myself, "I hope she stays the whole movie". She's probably one of the most beautiful women I have seen in a movie only because she doesn't come off as skany or slutty, which is what movies seem to think guys want. She was classy, elegant and sophisticated looking; and she definately played the part well. I really can't think of one flaw in this movie, I enjoyed every minute of it.
