[The Admiral]

Daniel Craig is James Bond. Suave and sophisticated. Simply James Bond.

Great review Dave. Glad to see that you believe the movie 'works' as a concept and is nicely paced. Look forward to seeing Craig's acting in the torture scene; all I've heard about that scene suggests that he performs to the extent of his ability during it. Such an exciting time right now as a Bond fan. 10 days...

Great review, Dave! Thanks for that. Personally, I don't think audiences are going to be missing the typical Bond formula elements much.

Nice review. I have a question:

Spoiler

Do we find out the title of Bond 2.2 at the end? Answer yes or no (do NOT tell me the title if it's yes)

Great review! The film is so close, yet so far. What a time to be a Bond fan.

[krypt]

Excellent review! I enjoyed reading it.

[DaltonCraig]

Awesome review!

It sounds like the action is all in the first half of the film.

Is that true, or is it pretty balanced before and after the card game sequence?

[Jericho_One]

Enjoyed it. Thanks.

[MarcAngeDraco]

Great review, Dave! Thanks!!

[Joyce Carrington]

, Dave - nice read. See you on the 14th!

Am I mean for wanting to check on the male audience's reaction during the torture scene?

I am, aren't I?

Though I'll probably be cringing myself.

[The Admiral]

Every male in the cinema was crossing their legs, cringing, squirming. It was painful.

So if you were to say it was the best Bond film since "_______________", what would you say?

[MR. BOND 93]

Great review!

But 1 question... was Craig really the best Bond since Connery?

On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Great review!

Yes. Without a doubt.

[Monsieur B]

What about the crediting of the story? Did Fleming get any kind of nod at all?

Like "Story by Ian Fleming -- Screenplay by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Paul Haggis"?

Or "Based on the novel, 'Casino Royale' by Ian Fleming"?

Or was it simply just "Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in CASINO ROYALE"?

[MattofSteel]

Great review, exactly what I needed to hear. Now it's a matter of waiting until November 17th.

[The Admiral]

I can't remember exactly how it was worded, but Fleming got a nod, indeed.

[ACE]

Fantastic stuff, The Admiral.

[Double-0-7]

Thanks for the excellent review Admiral Dave! Sounds like it will be great film, and that DC has pulled it off.

I can hardly wait!

[Bryce (003)]

Excellent!

Way to go Admiral and thanks for the review!

See you in two weeks for the pints I owe you.

If anyone should get a preview, it should be Dave. And this is a first for CBn. And proves that it's as important as any newspaper and site on the Internet.

It's a good review, Dave. And thank you for making your article honest and as reliable as could be.

Cheers,


Ian.

[Qwerty]

[JimmyBond]
