DVD Reviews of Casino Royale (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)

DVD Review: casino royale
Summary: 5 Stars

daniel craig is the best yet!!! better than connery. cant wait until nov. 14, to see the next one.

DVD Review: Bond's First Mission!!!
Summary: 4 Stars

Forget the last 1,367 Bond movies, this one reinvents the character. When I first saw this, I was confused as to what it was, but later, I realized they were starting over. Bond enters a high-stakes poker tournament at Casino Royale in Montenegro. Le Chiffre, the bad guy tries to win, but Bond must beat him. With the help of Vesper Lynd, Bond must stop the bad guy. If you love action films and James Bond, you'll love CASINO ROYALE!!!!

DVD Review: thought it was gonna be bad but really like it
Summary: 5 Stars

one of my favorite james bond movies of all time could be cause im younger but i think the best of all times

DVD Review: How To Make A Spy
Summary: 4 Stars

Introducing a new James Bond: Daniel Craig. The story line is old and has even been spoofed by Woody Allen in a film of the same name. The
question remains, How do you train a person to be a sanctioned assain?
Watch this film and you will be surprised at what it takes to gain the
double O designation. Judi Dench plays Bond's boss and portrays this
position with her usual panacity to give a true performance.

DVD Review: A welcome departure from the past
Summary: 5 Stars

I was skeptical that anyone could surpass Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan as 007, but with the right script, Daniel Craig has brought depth to the character who had previously been seen as a miraculously lucky, womanizing, defender of the free world. He is still lucky, dodging machine gun fire, playing cards (Hold 'em instead of baccarat), etc., but not so over the top that it becomes ridiculous. The torture scene, while unique and interesting, did lack some credibility. Overall, though, this an excellent Bond who brings new legs (as well as a fresh face, body, and mind) to the long-running franchise.

Description of Casino Royale (2-Disc Widescreen 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.System Requirements:Runtime: 144 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:?PG - 13 UPC:?043396148598 Manufacturer No:?14859

The most successful invigoration of a cinematic franchise since Batman Begins, Casino Royale offers a new Bond identity. Based on the Ian Fleming novel that introduced Agent 007 into a Cold War world, Casino Royale is the most brutal and viscerally exciting James Bond film since Sean Connery left Her Majesty's Secret Service. Meet the new Bond; not the same as the old Bond. Daniel Craig gives a galvanizing performance as the freshly minted double-0 agent. Suave, yes, but also a "blunt instrument," reckless, and possessed with an ego that compromises his judgment during his first mission to root out the mastermind behind an operation that funds international terrorists. In classic Bond film tradition, his global itinerary takes him to far-flung locales, including Uganda, Madagascar, the Bahamas (that's more like it), and Montenegro, where he is pitted against his nemesis in a poker game, with hundreds of millions in the pot. The stakes get even higher when Bond lets down his "armor" and falls in love with Vesper (Eva Green), the ravishing banker's representative fronting him the money.

For longtime fans of the franchise, Casino Royale offers some retro kicks. Bond wins his iconic Astin-Martin at the gaming table, and when a bartender asks if he wants his martini "shaken or stirred," he disdainfully replies, "Do I look like I give a damn?" There's no Moneypenny or "Q," but Dame Judi Dench is back as the exasperated M, who one senses, admires Bond's "bloody cheek." A Bond film is only as good as its villain, and Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre, who weeps blood, is a sinister dandy. From its punishing violence and virtuoso action sequences to its romance, Casino Royale is a Bond film that, in the words of one character, makes you feel it, particularly during an excruciating torture sequence. Double-0s, Bond observes early on, "have a short life expectancy." But with Craig, there is new life in the old franchise yet, as well as genuine anticipation for the next one when, at last, the signature James Bond theme kicks in following the best last line ever in any Bond film. To quote Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin, now I know what I've been faking all these years. --Donald Liebenson
