Review of Casino Royale (2006) by Richard D — 20 May 2018

After a 4 year hiatus, the producers of the Bond series took the opportunity to completely revamp the series with Daniel Craig stepping in as Bond for the first time. All continuity with the earlier movies was dispensed with, and Craig plays Bond as a brand new 00 agent in this adaptation of Fleming's first Bond novel.

It certainly is a fresh approach. Craig is certainly the most physical Bond, and this film focuses on really raw, intense and realistic action sequences. It's one of the best Bond films. Unfortunately, Craig's tenure in the role has been extremely uneven.
