DVD Reviews of Casino Royale (Two-Disc Collector's Edition + BD Live) [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Great movie, Great price
Summary: 5 Stars

Great job re-inventing Bond. Daniel Craig is awesome as Bond. The script, action sequences, STORY, acting all supurb.

DVD Review: 007's Rough Emergence
Summary: 5 Stars

Quite different from the James Bond we're used to who's always so suave and debonaire, but this was the beginning. I like the rougher, grittier Bond played by Daniel Craig. He illustrates some of the real dirt going on in the spy game. This will be one of my favorite 007 movies.

DVD Review: Picture & Audio Quality
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie has one of the best picture and sound quality of any bluray i have seen i the last 3 years. The DOLBY TRUEHD is just awesome and very precise and accurate when it matters which is throught the movie. This movie is action from start to end. The colors are superb especially the green from the bahamas scenes. i give it a 5 star for both PQ & AQ.

DVD Review: This is Bond shaken and stirred
Summary: 5 Stars

I've never been too crazy about the James Bond movies because they always seem to slavishly adhere to a well-worn formula without never exploring the character of Bond and what drives him to do what he does. CASINO ROYALE finally allows us to glimpse into the dark soul of MI6's Agent 007 and in the process gives us the best Bond movie yet and the greatest screen incarnation of the iconic secret agent as played by Daniel Craig in what will become, as it did for every actor who has come before him, his signature role. CASINO ROYALE reboots the Bond series and updates it to post-9/11 modern times simultaneously. The result is a mature and gripping spy adventure that in its more quiter moments often invites comparison to the works of John Le Carre and Graham Greene with the same emphasis on interesting characters and their motivations. But that's not to say CASINO ROYALE skimps on the fireworks. There's plenty of great action sequences including two that might make your jaw drop: the opening action beat finds Bond chasing a scarred bombmaker on foot through Madagascar including an extended confrontation atop a high-steel construction site and makes wonderous use of the French free-running sport of Parkour; and a car chase where Bond's tricked-out spymobile does a few pretty frightening flips. The most suspenseful moments are the poker table duels between Bond and his blood-weeping adversary Le Chiffre (played by the great Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen with a subdued madness). Who would have ever thought Texas Hold 'Em could be so edge-of-the-seat thrilling? As 007's ice-cool boss M Dame Judi Dench is the only returning cast member from the previous Pierce Brosnan Bond flicks but she's given a real character to play this time around and her relationship with Craig's Bond carries genuine weight. Eve Green does some of her best acting to date as Vesper Lynd, the one woman capable of capturing Bond's elusive heart. Captain Kirk had Carol Marcus, Bond has Vesper. Jeffrey Wright and Giancarlo Gianni provide stand-out performances as two of Bond's unlikely colleagues. CASINO ROYALE is not only the best Bond movie yet but it's also one of the most ripping yarns cranked out by Hollywood in recent years. Let's hope they don't let the series to get out of hand....again.

DVD Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars

Fantastic!!

Wonderful James Bond movie. Daniel Craig is surely a great James Bond!

Great Story!

Lots of Action! (more realistic than the previous 007 films)

Very Entertaining!

Description of Casino Royale (Two-Disc Collector's Edition + BD Live) [Blu-ray]

Bluray Disc
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
