I saw Daniel Craig in the new Casino Royale twice. He rocked. The best Bond film in a long while; darker, more coherent and plot driven, and much more like the Bond I remember from reading (all the) books. Not as good as Connery, but very close, maybe even better than Timothy Dalton. Anyone else seen this, and what did you think?

I loved it: from the excellent opening chase scene right through to the end.  First time in years I got wrapped up in a Bond plot instead of just rolling my eyes.  Kudos to Daniel Craig, the writers and the director for stripping away all the bad puns and clich�s that have mired the series for 30 years, at least.

This is probably one of the best Bond movies ever.  I was reluctant to see it at first because I had come to hate the franchise after they had ruined it with the last few with Brosnan.  And I wasn't that familiar with Daniel Craig.  But I took my father to see it anyway and was just blown away.  I loved it and can't wait for it to come out on DVD in March. 

I like that it didn't take itself too seriously.  "Do you want that shaken or stirred?"  "Does is look like I give a damn?"  AND...little to no gadgets.  I like that it was about Bond and not the technology.

I liked Brosnan, but mostly because he looked drop-dead gorgeous in a dinner jacket.   

But I really liked this movie, and was pleasantly surprised at Daniel Craig.
