User Review

For The First Time…

Rating: 10/10

Now look, I'm a hard-core James Bond fan. Some might say a purist.I
make no apologies for believing that Timothy Dalton is the closest
thing we've seen to IAN FLEMING's James Bond.

Last night I saw Casino Royale.

This is, for the first time, the truest interpretation of the character
we have ever seen.

This film is amazing. Totally mind-blowing. From the black and white
pre-titles, to arguably the best titles sequence ever. From the African
free-running chase to the beautiful interiors of London. From Judi
Dench's harassed M, to the super cool Le Chiffre. From the stone-cold
government killer, to the heart broken lover.

Style and sophistication are in abundance.

And I love it.
