Review: Casino Royal

Going in, I already had high expectations for the new Bond.� All the reviews were rave and I was already a fan of Craig from Layer Cake.
I’ve always been a fan of Bond.� Not always of every movie, but at least the idea of a British secret agent with cool gadgets and hot girls.� In my book, Connery will always be the quintessential Bond.� He was the original.� He will always be Bond.� So who is Craig?� Craig is like Bond 2.0.� He’s tougher, grittier, more sarcastic, and so much more badass.
I wasn’t a fan of Brosnan as Bond.� Other than Goldeneye, I thought the latest Bond films were boring and uninspired.� If you liked Bond for the Gadgets and the over the top action and villains, you won’t get that here.� We have a stripped down version.� All Bond has are his wits, his tux, and his girl.� And the girl isn’t useless either.
I would say, this is my favourite Bond.� It makes Bond a secret agent again where he has to figure out what’s going on and who’s behind it and stop him.
