I have to give Daniel Craig credit, at first when I heard he was cast as the
next James Bond I thought it was a terrible idea, not because he’s a bad actor – just because he didn’t
fit the image of Bond. But, after watching Casino Royale I’m glad he’s the next one to wear the suit and
tie. Daniel Craig does a terrific job portraying 007, in many scenes he actually resembles a younger Sean Connery from
the Dr. No era. The storyline could have been much stronger, at times I forgot what the
story was about. It was also missing a lot of essential assets that makes a Bond movie what it is. For instance,
in the opening credits you only see James instead of the not-so modest women. True, you don’t need that to make
a great Bond film, but it’s a tradition that’s lasted over thirty years. Although Daniel Craig did
a great job as James Bond, he was still missing the suaveness that makes James who he is. Maybe it’s because this
was a pre-bond film, and he might develop it as the series progresses. I also didn’t like how they gave this movie
a timeline by mentioning 9-11, so did the other Bond movies ever exist? They should have made this set in the 60’s
and have it build up to Dr. No. All that aside, this was a great film filled with action packed chase sequences
and another great addition to the Bond family. A semi-realistic view into the Bond world. The good: Great action, great new Bond. The
bad: Storyline was a little weak.
