Review of Casino Royale (1954) by Joan P R — 06 Nov 2015

Yes it is entertaining and the romantic plot is quite good, but I think Daniel Craig changes the character too radically into a brute, totally lacking the elegance of former Bonds, and especially he is miles away from the sprezzatura of Sean Connery.

Too overtly cold and artificially muscular to be attractive. I much preferred the unsentimental humor of the classic 007.
