Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00" status. "M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly-promoted 007 on his first mission that takes him to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face Le Chiffre, a ruthless financier under threat from his terrorist clientele, who is attempting to restore his funds in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. "M" places Bond under the watchful eye of the Treasury official Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together. Le Chiffre's cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in a way Bond could never imagine, and he learns his most important lesson: Trust no one.

Bond: Reloaded - 4.25 out of 5 (3/12/2007)
No gadgets. No "Q". No Moneypenny. No quick-witted one-liners. No, not even a dashing GQ model in the lead role. Casino Royale is certainly not your father's James Bond...and the results are a mixed bag.
You can't blame producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson for wanting to "reboot" Bond. While Pierce Brosnan's Bond movies were the most successful in the franchise's history, the series had turned into a parody of itself, with each new one trying to outdo the previous entr

Bond is back and better than ever - 5 out of 5 (3/26/2007)
I haven't truly enjoyed a Bond film since 1995's GoldenEye and I was glad to hear there would be some fresh blood injected to a tiring and increasingly ridiculous franchise with the change to Craig and a new direction for the series. What I wasn't expecting was the magnitude of that change and how this new film elevates Bond back up to the it's glory days. The new 007 is leaner, meaner and relies more on his own wits rather than invisible cars and silly quips. He's also more vulnerable an

Best Bond Film...Ever! - 4.25 out of 5 (3/26/2007)
I'm not a Bond fanatic by any means, but I do like the ones that Pierce Brosnan was in. I thought he was by far the best Bond. He embodies everything Bond was supposed to be: Good looking, sexy, smooth, smart and able to handle action. Oh yeah, he had a British accent as well. The Bond movies he was in were not the best or the worst, but he made those movies that much better because of what he brought to the role as James Bond.
Take away Pierce and the movies aren't really worth watching.
