Bond, James Bond

I waited and waited and finally got the opportunity to watch "Casino Royale". I have to admit that I really enjoyed this movie. It is action packed and great. It is what a Bond movie is suppose to be. Fights, intrigue, suspense, killing, and fast cars. Realize this movie is more of a throw back to the starting of Bond's career as a 00 agent. He is not refined, but more crude. He gets the job done. The polished look we are all accustomed to is not here and this movie should not be discredited because of that. We all have our starts and can't be smooth and savvy at the beginning. We are all a work in progress and I am thankful that this film shows that. It is a different side of Bond that we never see. This movie rocks and keeps rolling the entire time. I was very impressed with the chase scene on foot towards the beginning of the movie. The choreography here was tremendous. I wish I could move like that. I was not all that impressed with Eva Green as a Bond girl. Daniel Craig on the other hand is awesome. On my list of favorite Bond's, Sean Connery is still first and Craig comes in second. The ending of this movie is awesome with the tie in of the signature Bond theme and the best last line in any Bond film. I give this movie a 10. I actually bought it on Blu-Ray and will watch it many times. I own every Bond movie and have seen them all at least 20 times. I am a Bond fan and this one rates right up there towards the top. I highly recommend it. Here is the trailer for the movie.
