| Editorial Reviews: Product Description Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 03/13/2007 Run time: 144 minutes Rating: Pg13 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.

Customer Reviews: Read 1056 more reviews... Great adaptation from the original book November 19, 2008David B. Vargas Some years ago i read the "Casino Royal" book and since then i always wondered why this excellent first James Bond book never was considered for filming. Finally it came to theaters and i have to say i liked it very much, this is a much more human Bond and not the "always with the situation under control" Bond from all the previous films. I dont mean these where not good, it's simply that this is a more realistic film about how a spy whould be like, not super handsome, not always perfet tuxedo, not always choosing the right desitions and for the first time he couldn't save his girl and saw her die. I just can't wait for the release of Quantum of Solace wich starts where "Casino Royale" ended. Blond Bond - Includes Attitude and Bonus Emotions November 17, 2008Sir Moneybags McBigballs the 3rd (Oxfordvilletonshireburg) I was bored of Bond. Blam Blam. Sleep with disposable woman. Bond, James Bond. Martini, shaken, not stirred. Sleep with evil woman. Car chase. Find bad guy's lair. Blam Blam. Cheesy one-liner. Bad guy dies. Sleep with disposable woman. Roll credits. The formula is entertaining enough, but not even an iconic figure like Bond can stay one-dimensional and expect to continue to keep our interest forever. Bond seemed to be stuck in the 70's, where the sexual innuendo and bloodless violence actually pushed the envelope. I was glad to see that the newest Bond film attempted to show Bond as fallible, occasionally uncertain, and often hampered by the very arrogance and confidence that makes him distinctly Bond. This is a guy who's instincts just barely manage to save him from his own recklessness, who's carelessness puts innocents in the cross hairs, and who's heart is not yet closed to emotional attachments. Craig strikes a good figure as Bond, and Eva Green is enchanting as Vespar. All in all, the movie is closer to the Bourne series than it is to the earlier Bond films. You'll either love the transition or hate it, so try before you buy. Great item but... November 17, 2008Sergio Sanchez 0 out of 1 found this review helpful I love the movie and the transaction was fast and delivery excellent, the only issue, and im aware its got nothing to do with the seller, its that the description does not show that the movie subtitles are in Thai... I guess that needs to be added to the description... Excellent movie, Excellent 3-Disc Set November 15, 2008Simon (Brampton, ON) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Casino Royale is the 21st official James Bond movie and the first in the series to star Daniel Craig as James Bond. It's based off the Ian Fleming novel and essentially reboots the franchise with 007's first major case, to bring down the terrorist banker Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen). Similar to what Batman Begins did for its franchise in 2005, Casino Royale takes a formulaic pop culture icon and makes him relevant and exciting again by bringing back the basics. I'm a huge Bond fan and I would've been happy with more Bond films in the vein of the Brosnan era, but this installment is like the breath of fresh air I didn't know I needed. Suddenly we have a James Bond that gets to develop as a real character, a beautiful love interest that really matters (Eva Green will go down among the best of the Bond girls), and action sequences that are intense and edgy without looking like they've been coated in the usual Hollywood gloss. This may be the 21st film in the franchise, but it stands on its own as a great movie and that's what makes Casino Royale work. The original 2-disc release was barren of any really relevant features, so while I usually avoid the double-dips, this was one Collector's Edition that was worth it. You get everything that was in the 2-disc set, plus a third disc loaded with deleted scenes and documentaries. Most interesting are a segment discussing the legal entanglements that kept EON Productions from making Casino Royale until now, and a documentary on the effects-heavy Venice finale. Note the box lists a visual commentary by the producer/director, but the visual are only for the Blu-Ray edition. Blu-Ray or standard def, this edition of Casino Royale is worth owning.  more Die Hard than James Bond, but still a enjoyable action flick November 13, 2008SnowDog3000 (manchester, ct USA) 0 out of 5 found this review helpful This was an enjoyable movie, not great but good. It's really far closer to the Die Hard movies than the James Bond movies. I didn't think much of the person playing M though. | ||||||||||||||||
