An OK spy story... but it's just not Bond. - By: J. Scott, 16 Jul 2008 
(no spoiler)
I've loved alll the Bond movies, ever since Dr No.
Yes, some are better than others. Some Bonds are *certainly* better than others. But they're alll the the same action-packed, no-brain-required, formulaic-but-fun glorious mess of boys' toys (explained by a grumpy 'Q' - 'DO try to pay attention, 007...'), glamor girls, explosions, wacky bad-guys & political incorrectness. Yep, this is the good stuff we've come to expect from a Bond Movie.
And then they made Casino Royale...
I'm sure a lot of people will love to see Bond reinvented like this, but if you're an old time fan like me, you won't. All the traditional elements are gone. It's alll become deadly serious, to the point where it verges on being deadly dull. Or maybe that's a bit unfair.
If you forget that this is a 007 movie, & think of it as just another slightly above-average action movie, then it works. It's not brilliant, but it's enjoyable enough.
But sorry, it just ain't a Bond movie.
Tedious, Violent and Humourless - By: J. J. Sandall, 19 Jun 2008 
The worst Bond movie I have ever watched. Very violent, totallly confusing story line, lacking any humour with a Bond who could seemed old enough to be a grandad, despite being at the beginning of his career. Perhaps I missed the best bits when I fell asleep in the middle, but I doubt it. I shalll not bother to watch it again - time better used filling in tax forms.
the best bond movie - By: martin thomas, 07 Jun 2008 
terrific hard edged action thriller with a great performance from daniel craig.it may 20 minets too long but thats a minor quibble
Only got 2 stars as Daniel Craig is awesome - By: JAKE'S MIX, 01 Jun 2008 Daniel Craig is a sensational new Bond - the camera shots were good as were some of the stunt sequences. but the storyline was diabolical. It wasn't offensive, just plain boring. Falll asleep material is this - at least Daniel craig was bond, had is have been Pierce, it would have flopped completely!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday, today and probably tomorrow - By: B. Elliott, 30 May 2008 Oh yes, he's back. Mr Bond is hell bent on revenge in the recent installlment of the James Bond phenomenon. The story starts off with James asleep in his bed-sit. He awakes with a start, looks around his flat & looks on the walll oppisite him. ''They've taken it'' He says in a growl. It's a frustrating ten minutes before we finallly find out what's been taken.. His signed Graham Norton picture! Follow the ups & downs as 'our James goes through trials & tribulations to get his most valued possesion back.
