Casino Royale

Went to the cinema last night, to catch Casino Royale before it leaves theatres for good. And it was well worth it - I thought it was the best Bond I've seen in years. I liked the 'back to basics' approach: nice solid storyline, and exciting (yet still plausible) action. One of my biggest gripes with the Bond films in recent years is that the stunts have grown increasingly more ludicrous, and the double-entendres cruder and less subtle - to the point where the movies were almost becoming parodies of themselves.

Oh, and Daniel Craig was great as the new Bond. I wasn't too sure about him at first; I'd seen Craig in quite a few things before, and couldn't quite picture him in the Bond role. But he was excellent - I'm looking forward to future films with him.
