I actually don't have a lot to say about Casino Royale other than it was probably the most entertaining movie of the year. I didn't grow up on Bond movies. I wasn't allowed to watch them because of the way Bond treated women (as objects, I guess). Because Daniel Craig was the new Bond and everything I heard and read pointed towards Royale being the grittiest and darkest Bond yet, I hopped on board. I was not let down. The movie is a rush. The action is intense. The plot is believable (well, you know, at least plausible). And Craig is the real deal. An actor's actor bringing his chops to an iconic character and making his own Bond (from what I can tell). The plot gets muddled near the end, but I can forgive the film easily because it's such a blast.
