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.

*******Spoilers*******************

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.

Watching Bond has sex was hardly ever a priority for me to watch Bond. Most people watch Bond for the action and story. The Bond girls are just eye candy, whether or not Bond was sex with them doesn't have a major impact on the course of the poilt except in your isolated cases like in TND with Elliot Carver's wife.

But Bond still "unloaded his balls" in Casino Roylae with the chick from the bank that betraied him.

I really enjoyed Daniel Craig, and the first big action set piece was fucking brilliant, but the dialogue was clunky, the villian was boring and TEXAS FUCKING HOLD-'EM? could there be a more pedestrian (and prolonged) card game? The film could easily have been 1/2 hour shorter - and would have been a lean, mean, great film.

Good, fun, not great. I do look forward to another installment, because I'm a sucker for the franchise and I think Craig may be the best Bond yet

any card game is boring to watch on screen .. and it was the majority of the book .. i thought they did a great job.

i thought the female lead was miscast ..i didnt like her look or delivery (she was pretty - but there was something missing) .. as well as the far more beautiful 'married gal' (she couldnt act but she was gorgeous)

i liked the villian ... very low key and not as cartoonish as what we're used to .. more manacing and real in my eyes.

the shortcomings of this film were so minor to me i overlooked them with no effort.

i didnt find any part of the film slow - i liked the character developement.

it did have a bit of 'lord of the rings-itis' where it kept going whenever you thought it had ended .. but i was enjoying it so i was glad it kept going.

this is the Bond that Ian Fleming wrote ... brutal and cruel.

Now, is this a prequal of sorts? I keep hearing that this is how Bond got his "00" status, but if that is the case, how in hell is Judy Dench "M"?

the 1st part of the movie is a prequel,

the next part - which i thought was early on in his career - may or may not be ... because they reference 9/11

(but 'M' has some dialogue that led me to believe that it took place just after Bond got his 00 status. Also event happen to show how he developed into the hard/cruel guy he is ..

no dates are given though
