Casino Royale

Well went for Casino Royale today. I am not a fan of bond movies, but then this really surprised me. One of the thing you notice about the movie it is not your conventional Bond. Daniel Craig is not your normal Bond. HE is not suave like Pierce Bond Brosnan or Sean Connery,. He is raw and as my friend pointed out, he looks like a beast. But then this is supposed to be the first Bond movie. So there is no need of hime too look suave.

WEll the movie soundtrack is cool. The title track is cool and the opening credit i much cooler. Love his dialogue with Judi Dench and then with Eva Greeen. Well then the screenplay is writen by Paul Haggis (the man behind Crash, Million Dollar Baby). The acting is great here. Especialy by Daniel Craig and Judi Dench. This Bond is vulnerable, gets emmotionally hurt and acts. What you notice about this Bond is that there is not much gadget. The stunts ar breathtaking especially the first stunt. Thats really cool what hapen in the construction site. Then the Casino game is cooler.

The movie is tad too long. But then the twist plausible and i thouroughly enjoyed the movie.

So now i got to say the name Bond James Bond :)
