USA 2006 - Action/Crime — 144 min — Directed by Martin Campbell
Cast: Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Judy Dench
In his first mission, James Bond must stop Le Chiffre, a banker to the world's terrorist organizations, from winning a high-stakes poker tournament at Casino Royale in Montenegro.
My Rating: 8 / 10
Most of the action scenes were excellent, and as we've all heard, this really is a reboot of the James Bond franchise. My only complaint was the horrid score, and the worst theme song for ANY Bond movie ever ever ever. Total garbage. One of the worst scores to be used in any movie since the early 70's - by far. A deaf man playing a violin and pulling a cat's tail would have been an improvement. But that apart, Bond is really back. Craig does an excellent job, and he is the New grounded Bond, not the cartoon he has become under Moore, Dalton and Brosnan. Hope they continue in the same fashion, and don't screw it up by adding old stupid jokes and such. Way to Go!
