007 - Casino Royale Review

TFG1Mike and MovieRevolt Dan dive into Daniel Craig's debut as James Bond in Casino Royale, the franchise's hard reboot after four years away. They discuss Craig's raw, brutal take on the character, the film's return to practical stunts after Die Another Day's CGI overload, the central poker game and its pacing, and what the reboot means for Bond continuity. They also cover the cast, including Judi Dench's return as M, Eva Green as Vesper Lynd, and Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter, along with standout action sequences like the parkour chase.
