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.

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 😂

My favorite of the Daniel Craig Movies.. It's got action, it's very emotional and it sets the bar high for the 007 Movies that follow it. Highly recommend it.

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

I think this is a very intelligent film for a Bond film, and certainly one of the most enjoyable.

Rated: 4/5

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.

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
