DVD-Casino Royale

Daniel Craig is 007 in what is the best Bond movie I have ever seen. Casino Royale delivers like no other Bond movie before it. Clearly, the producers of the Bond franchise decided to deal with the new competition from the Bourne and Misson:Impossible franchises by stripping away the hokey gadgets and making a grittier and more realistic flick.

The best action sequence in the movie is the stunning chase involving freerunning. It will blow you away that there are people in this world that can do these things. That section alone makes this movie worth watching, but CR continues to deliver. Craig is excellent as the man with the license to kill, and you get a lot of backstory on the character that was missing from the other flicks. In short, Royale is a do-over for the series, and I think it was due.

I don't know where they will go from here, but Craig has made his case that he deserves to be Bond. Naysayers be damned.
