Casino Royale

Pros: Entertaining, enjoyable movie. Craig as Bond.
Cons: Few slower spots. Some things were missing.

Cons: too much card playing, ending needed work, was too long for a Bond film

Pros: Plenty of action, great stuntwork. Minimum of gadgetry.
Cons: Somewhat muddled at times. But still damn good.

Pros: Craig is 007. Nice way to reboot the staid series

Cons: Eva Green as Vesper Lynd, romantic Bond doesn't work

With Daniel Craig as the new Bond, Casino Royale was almost a perfect relaunch of the Bond franchise that had started to fall out of favor over the years with Pierce Brosnan’s Bond. The new James Bond has gone from his charming, gadget-centric ways, ...

Pros: Several action scenes; scenes between Bond and Vesper
Cons: Length, pacing, plot

I must admit to coming to this movie from a little different perspective. I am not a huge Bond fan. I've seen one or two of the recent ones, but none of the movies that have been made over the past decades. Still, I knew the name and the trailer looked ...

Pros: Great renewal of the Bond franchise, with a great new Bond and great action.
Cons: Eva Green doesn't have the sex appeal for a Bond girl.

Cons: Bad guys aren't bad enough, story is a bit confusing, too much card playing

Cons: Corny one-liners here and there, puppy-love scenes make me puke
