Everyone else has covered their opinion of the film rather well but here's what I thought about it.

THE GOOD
- A back to basics Bond. Just him kicking [censored] and being a smart [censored].
- No CG. They can make it look like Daniel Craig is jumping on a construction site without using CG yet they have to have Pierce Brosnan crawl out of the ocean in Die Another Day with CG? Dub tee eff?
- Hand to hand fighting. Very FRWL Orient Express-like.
- Texas Hold 'em scenes. Even if you dont know how to play poker they were awesome.
- Solange and Vesper. Great casting and I hate to think what Charlize Theron or Angelina Jolie would have been like.
- Daniel Craig as Bond. Sorry Tim but the throne of "Best Bond Since Connery" has a new holder.
- Le Chiffre torturing Bond.
- 'Vodka Martini, "Shaken or stirred?", Does it look like I give a damn?'

THE BAD
- That damn gunbarrel. Ew.
- That Macromedia Flash opening titles left a sour taste in my mouth.
- Dragged on a bit in the third act.
- "Bond 22" picks up where Casino Royale left off. They didnt do a Pirates 2 but it kinda annoyed me.

THE UGLY
- The horrible CG blood in the opening titles to Casino Royale.

Well thats my two cents.
