Casino Royale is exactly what the franchise needs to keep in the game against the Bournes and Missions: Impossible of the world.

Craig's humanised, more flawed interpretation of the role balances Campbell's physical direction and co-writer Paul Haggis's sparing wit, while Eva Green provides an alluring love interest.

Casino Royale has the answers to all my complaints about the 45-year-old James Bond series, and some I hadn't even thought of.

The screenwriters have brought Bond back toward the book.

I consider Daniel Craig to be the most effective and appealing of the six actors who have played 007, and that includes even Sean Connery.

Bond as a human being? Who'd'a'thunk?

Craig is also the best Bond in the franchise's history.

I hope Craig finds more moments like that in Bond. And I hope he gets to wear that tuxedo again and again and again.

This is a much more serious Bond than we've seen in many years. Daniel Craig inhabits the dark side of the secret agent really well, he is absolutely the best Bond since Connery.

Unlike recent Bonds, whose kills had no more weight than the one-liners that generally accompanied them, Craig's tend to be intimate, bloody, and devoid of glamour.

This is a Bond movie, and everything comes back to him and the actor who plays him. The filmmakers took a big gamble on Daniel Craig and on a script that updates everything. This time, the gamble paid off.
