Daniel Craig proves he's the man to take on Connery's mantle. No silly gadgets, no bad jokes, just good solid acting and terriffic action. Now don't get me wrong. I've enjoyed most of the Bond films (except "A View To A Kill" that one was awful) but I'm glad they have gone back to the basics. It just proves that in a world of Jason Bourne's and Jack Bauer's that Bond is still the best.

I completely agree with you, this is certainly the best Bond, ever IMOP and I'm a fan of the movie version of Bond I've never read any of the novels so my base line was the original 20 films. But I agree that this one is a great film and I truly beleive that this is a re-start moreso than a prequal, there were just more things in the story that made the movie feel like a res-start.
There were gadgets in the film just nothing out of Q branch, everything was in the car or Bond already had it. There was no Money Penny, I don't know if she was part of the movies or if she was in the novels, same goes for Q. I ask this b/c if Casino Royale stayed fairly true to the original storyline and Bond was this cold blooded killer then Money Penny and Q would be kinda out of place I would think.
