Bond...James Bond.

I didn't know what to expect, really. Casino Royale came out at the cinema a few weeks ago to mixed reviews. Everyone seemed to have an opinion - it was love or hate, and never the twain shall meet. As my taste in film isn't what movie connoisseurs would call 'sophisticated', I had no expectations. I simply wanted to watch a film to de-stress after a particularly busy day at work.

And what a film it was! To be honest, Daniel Craig isn't exactly my cup of tea as Bond. Apart from my terrible crush on the very dishy Pierce Brosnan, I just didn't think that a blonde 007 would work. But somehow, Daniel Craig pulled it well. He was dashing and debonaire, quick-witted and charming and right on the ball, even if he gets some of his 'bluffing' skills horribly wrong.

There were a lot of nail-biting moments and loads of chases and punches thrown here, there and everywhere. It also had some of the most breathtaking sceneries ever filmed.

It may not win an Oscar, but it's certainly worth going to see. If you take the movie just as it is you are going to enjoy this action-packed blockbuster. Just a tip though...

Don't try to be too anal and stop nit-picking - you just might enjoy yourself. You're allowed, you know.
