Just got back from seeing Casino Royale and it was wonderful from start to finish.
It was nice to see Bond get back to his roots and loose a lot of the flashy gadgets and action sequences that were stealing the stage from the later efforts.
This Bond actually has a soul, the villains are three dimensional and the plot actually makes sense. Plus, all the inside jokes and double entendres make for a very entertaining 2+ hours.
This is one that needs to be seen in the theater...
There is a sequel in the works, one that follows up on Casino Royale.
Due to be released sometime 2008.
