Product Description:
Casino Royale (2-Disc Full Screen Edition)
Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00" status. "M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly-promoted 007 on his first mission that takes him to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face Le Chiffre, a ruthless financier under threat from his terrorist clientele, who is attempting to restore his funds in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. "M" places Bond under the watchful eye of the Treasury official Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together. Le Chiffre's cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in a way Bond could never imagine, and he learns his most important lesson: Trust no one.

Not Your Father's Bond--Or Maybe It Is (2010-09-09) Rating: 4/5
This is review for the 2006 James Bond film, CASINO ROYALE
which was released on DVD in 2007 by Sony.
I must admit that I was a Bond fan during the Sean Connery era
but drifted away after Mr. Connery left the series. I did
see one of the Roger Moore Bonds and George Lazenby's
debut/farewell into the series. But overall I just couldn't
see anyone but Sean Connery make me sit still and believe that
he was Agent 007.
That is until I decided to watch the newer James Bond, played by
Daniel Craig, who quite honestly was an actor I had never even heard of.
I was very surprised by the vigor and intensity with which Mr. Craig brought
to the James Bond role and the whole film, CASINO ROYALE, semed to get a lift
as a result of the new Bond's energy and strength. Of course a lot if not most
of the credit must go to director Martin Campbell for this fine new edition
of Bond. Even though this production is all new I think it's fair to say
that the Bond excitement that first revealed itself onscreen almost fifty years
ago has returned and returned big time.
I'm certain that the whole production team has been overhauled and maybe I am
making a little too much about the influence of the star but the new look
James Bond is almost riveting when it comes to the exciting chances the
character takes and the risks that he must go through to succeed.
CASINO ROYALE is an amazing film and the performance of Daniel Craig was a revelation to me and as I can see by many of these reviews other film goers
as well.
Five Stars.
Casino Royale (2010-09-02) Rating: 4/5
I liked the movie and the action and of course the poker game,however What is up with the end? I know it's a bond film so anything goes as far as plots and twists,but I hated the ending other than that I really enjoyed the movie.
Best Bond Ever! Bond's best dvd set ever! (2010-08-29) Rating: 5/5
This is as good as a Bond dvd set can get. Not only is Casino Royale the best James Bond movie ever, but the action scenes make for fantastic behind the scenes special features. You also get tons of interviews and even two audio commentaries to go along with the feature film. Lots of insight into the lure of James Bond.
Great Renewal of Classic Series (2010-07-27) Rating: 4/5
I have to admit that I have seen every James Bond movie. I used to watch the marathons on TBS during summer vacation when I was in elementary school. (Marathons also watched include...Elvis musicals and Frankie Avalon beach movies.) Casino Royale has changed the texture of the Bond genre. Gone are the tired cliches of the classic James bond movies, we now get to see a little bit into the mind of James Bond (He has a mind?) and begin to understand his motivations. I have to applaud the film makers in picking this particular book as a platform for the new James Bond, Daniel Craig, it allows Bond to start over in film and in person.
I have read the book, and while the film is different, I didn't like it any less. Daniel Craig brings a realness to James Bond that hasn't been seen for a long time. It was great to see all of the cheesiness removed and a physically fit and young guy play the lead! I highly recommend this film to all Bond and non-Bond fans.
