Damn, this movie was great. It was kind of off-balance at times, but Daniel Craig really carried the film. His Bond was a complete dick, an arrogant son of a b*tch, but at the same time charismatic and likeable . A huge leap forward after Brosnan, who could only do that first part right. I also loved how raw and brutal the action was, which fit perfectly with Craig's Bond.

One of the best lines in the film, definitely! It had everyone in the theatre chuckling. That's one of the reasons I enjoy the film so much...Its sly way of referencing past lines and events, keeping in focus the Bond interpretations of the past, and creating something totally new and refreshing at the same time is just brilliant.

This movie was thug nasty awesome. Craig as Bond fit ridiculously well. As Mech mentioned, he was arrogant, yet charming and badass. The plot was also very easy to follow, as opposed to some of the older Bond movies where there were too many characters and too many subplots. This movie kept it simple and to the point. I was very amazed at this movie.

I'll admit that I've never seen a Bond film before this one (don't ask me how!) But I really liked this movie. Alot.

I want to see the other films now, but am told they are a tad more... well, they say THIS one is more serious. I like that, but I suppose I'll give the others a shot, too, sometime.

Just saw it. I've seen all of the Bond movies, and some I love, some I hate, and some I find stereotypically goofy. I didn't think anything would beat Goldeneye in my eyes, but this does. 5 Stars, first rate movie. Best movie I've seen since Batman Begins, and the best in the series, though that's not a good comparison. It's just a kickass movie all-around.

That's funny you mentioned Batman Begins, TMB... Since earlier today I was discussing Bond movies with the person I went and saw Casino Royale with, and he was trying to explain how the older movies were different, and he mentioned Batman Begins in his examples to me, hehe.

I dunno, it just made me laugh at the coincidence.
