What to Know

Critics Consensus

Casino Royale disposes of the silliness and gadgetry that plagued recent James Bond outings, and Daniel Craig delivers what fans and critics have been waiting for: a caustic, haunted, intense reinvention of 007.

Namrata Joshi Outlook The film has breathless stunts and encounters aplenty. Rated: 3/4 Jan 17, 2019 Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Hindustan Times Bond is back. Bond is beefy. And the new Bond is blond. Daniel Craig has comfort ably slipped into the tuxedo, size 007, and left audiences shaken and stirred. Rated: 4/5 Dec 14, 2017 Full Review David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) I think this is a very intelligent film for a Bond film, and certainly one of the most enjoyable. Rated: 4/5 Nov 2, 2015 Full Review Sarah Cortinaz InSession Film A cast of true talent, a Bond girl that can finally tangle with him in smarts, and action that will please even the harshest critics. If you were going to watch only one Bond film, I’d put Casino Royale above all the rest. Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review This is an excellent espionage picture—one that will blow away any fan of the 007 franchise and pleasantly surprise anyone who didn’t enjoy the films in the past. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Casino Royale is a near-perfect debut of Daniel Craig as the new James Bond. Rated: A- Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

James H In anticipation of #NoTimeToDie, reliving Daniel Craig's marvelous debut as 007 — nearly 15 years ago — back on the big screen in #CasinoRoyale 🎰 I remember it was such a scandal that someone with blond hair *gasp* was cast as James Bond... but then he emerged from that ocean 😂 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/21 Full Review MrBill My favorite Bond movie with my favorite actor as James Bond!
