Charles K. Feldman's Casino Royale , 1967 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061452/ It's pretty funny, but the critics panned it. Wacky film with everyone in Hollywood in it. I guess I will have to see the new one, heck I've seen all the others...

Craig knocked a tooth or two out filming this.
I say he's earned his lumps, from the early critics' panning of him, and this incident where the stunt scene he got injured in sent him off to the dentist...

Just saw the movie...I quite enjoyed it...great action and entertaining, though a bit long--nice plot twists. I didn't like the "song", but the opening credits were VERY well done. I'd say that Daniel Craig gets my vote!
Early on there were a couple of rather odd scene freezes where Mr. Craig had a rather odd stare on his face. Oh...and I just ordered my Aston Martin DBS

Ditto - my wife and I saw it Friday as well. My wife loved Pierce but know Craig is her favorite Bond!
Great way to get back to basics with Bond movies. Can't wait fro the next one.

...an edit to my earlier post:
There is a torture scene with Bond in this movie that is rather gratuitous (like the Bruce Willis "thing" in Pulp Fiction). Frankly, I could have done without it, but I understand why it's there. Also, the PG-13 rating is really a farce. This is an R rated movie that skirted the issue and somehow got rated PG-13 to keep it in the general population. Don't get me wrong and I'm NOT a prude, but if there are going to be violent scenes in movies, then it should be rated accordingly or the questionable stuff should end up on the cutting room floor. But still, my earlier post stands...I enjoyed the movie!

Yes, definately refreshing after die another day. I didn't care for die another day at all. I was surprised with daniel craig. I thought he was very good. I'm only 20, but i like the less action, more story/character involved, older type bond movies. R? I don't know. Action, yes. I don't know what would have made it R. Maybe borderline. Awesome and refreshing bond none the less. Can't wait for the dvd.

Yeah, I think every guy in the cinema crossed his legs when the torture scene was on!!
I can't believe there wasn't an 'extended' car chase scene in this film and they still managed to completely wreck the Aston in such a short time. Bond is definately more gritty in this film, I was actually amazed that he was covered in his own blood for a moderate part of the film. Rumour has it that with his own 'real life' sexuality he wants to introduce a same gender kiss in the next film!

I saw the film the night it opened,and I thought it was really good.There is an action scene at the begining with no car chases,etc,and it was amazing.
Craig is my favorite bond since Connery. Jimmy

I just saw it. The best Bond movie in 30 years.
I saw it in a small theater and noticed most of the audience was 40-70+. I sat next to an older woman in her 70s. She was having a great ol time. Although in some of the more violent scences she was covering her eyes.
