Bond is definitely back... |

I've seen all of the films and read the books, too, and this Bond film I think is probably the very best by far. Craig does Bond a justice the movie character has never had--he isn't prissy, he doesn't make it through the entire film with nary a hair out of place (like Brosnan managed a couple of times), and best of all he's a good actor who actually brings some depth and dimension to the role--instead of someone attempting a bad Connery imitation.
Certainly--he's not Sean Connery--but then I don't think Connery could have ever played the Bond that Craig portrays. This is the first Bond film I've ever seen from which I walked away *liking* Bond himself as a character (never disliked Bond, of course, just never remember liking him), and Craig achieves his likability as a real "man's man" instead of a sissified gigolo surrounded by high-tech toys and muppet support staff. M was great and Q-branch was thankfully absent altogether.
The movie will keep you riveted to your seat for the full duration, and the fact that it manages to do that with nary a gratuitous sex scene or strings of gratuitous cuss words stands as a reminder of what quality films can be like. I was so entertained and enthralled by the movie that it wasn't until the drive home that it hit me that I hadn't even noticed the lack of T&A or people saying "*uck" this and "*uck" that...;) I'd give it five stars--Casino Royale is a class act. Craig is off to great start. The best Bond films may be yet to come.
