Casino Royale
Now that we have entered the month of Bond, it comes as no surprise that more and more moviegoers are getting a chance to screen Casino Royale and be the first to admit that either Craig is great as Bond or he isn't Bond, which, to them, is a great thing.

Casino Royale Reviews
The good people over at AICN have received two early reviews for Casino Royale and, though both admit the typical Bond shortcomings, both also agree that it is a film that matches up to its buzz.
Went to Casino Royale Friday night in London. Good film, great for a Bond film - though I'm not a fan of the franchise on the whole.
CRAIG IS NOT BOND. THANK GOD!
Casino Royale is a massive surprise. Not because it is a good Bond film - though it is the most satisfying of the series since Connery's first bow out - but because it opens the franchise out.
Although the film sets up classic Bond staples this is a film of raw brutal action, incredibly stunts and real characters. There are no caricatures, there is no dodgy CGI, there are basically no gadgets. And the film is all the better for it.
Though some may miss the gadgets, I would much rather have a 'brutal' Bond any day. OK, OK, a couple gadgets would be nice; this is Bond we are talking about.
Check out both reports for Casino Royale over at AICN.
Casino Royale comes to theatres on November 17th.
