I particularly liked how humanized he was while I particularly disliked his lack of humor. He played him so well as he is a very good actor and the change in look from darker and lean to muscular, shorter and blond worked overall. He isn’t as good as Sean Connery in my opinion, but is quite possibly the second best. So Daniel Craig is a pretty good new James Bond. I liked it because it was different, original and the actor looks great, but I also found it overly excessive at times.

I was honestly very surprised at how erotic some scenes with him were with the most memorable one being the torture scene. Whereas all of the previous movies objectified women ( Bond girls), this new one objectifies its lead, Craig himself. Basically they entirely twisted it on its head. The entire film desperately needed at least some humor in it as it was frequently just dark for the sake of being dark of which I never approve of.Īnd yet another major change lies in the sexual approach and I am mixed on that decision. The film explored so well how lives are tough for spies and that’s why they are cold on the inside.īut the change that I didn’t love is that Bond is very serious and never funny at all. That I loved as it made him more human along with giving him a serious relationship. So this James Bond is much less experienced than all of other Bonds as he is new to the job and makes mistakes. The best way to explain all of the differences is to comment upon the protagonist himself as there lie all of those major changes. That was done for better and for worse, but is mostly a successful experiment. So this film can basically be defined as a hard reboot having in mind that the approach is almost entirely different from all of the previous entries in the series. I found the story pretty good, not great but terrific for the franchise’s very low standards.

“Why is it that people who can’t take advice always insist on giving it? “ It is a very strong reboot of the franchise. ………………………………………………… Casino Royale Movie ReviewĬasino Royale is a 2006 spy film directed by Martin Cambpell and starring Daniel Craig.
