Sum up Casino Royale in 007 words or less. Feel free to add in as many 007 Words Or Less reviews as you wish. The more the better!

Examples:

Craig is the best Bond ever
Confusing card game, but perfect finale
Brilliant reboot

Daniel Craig is the best James Bond

Boring first half, great second half

Overall, a step in the right direction

Good introduction for Daniel Craig as Bond
Not the best villain in Le Chriffe
Not the best James Bond for me

Craig proves doubters wrong with great style.

I love Eva Green and Caterina Murino.

Judi Dench is not annoying this time.

Absence of terrible puns is most welcome.

For sale: Algerian loveknot, heartbroken beyond repair.

Not a review really, just a ripoff of the classic Hemingway line.

Bond is back with a Big Bang.

Daniel Craig whips the franchise into shape.

Blondes do have so much more fun.

Craig gives Bond the missing human touch.

1. Best debut Bond performance in franchise history.

2. Bond earns 00 status, begins kicking butt.

3. Bond's first mission ends with love's death.

4. Despite balls busted, Bond maintains witty humor.

5. Casino hits all right notes...yes, considerably.

6. Bond shows winning hand at poker, killing.

7. Le Chiffre flushed by Bond, then White.

8. EON gambles big on Casino, wins bigger.

9. Who'da thunk it? Blonde Bond strikes chord.

10. Awesome parkour chase among franchise's best scenes.
