A- Boston Globe Ty Burr "In Daniel Craig, the Bond franchise has finally found a 007 whose cruel charisma rivals that of Sean Connery." more... B   Chicago Sun-Times Richard Roeper "Meet the new Bond, not the same as the old Bond -- and thank God for that." more... B   Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "Eleven years ago director Campbell made GoldenEye, the first of the Brosnan Bond pictures. Casino Royale trumps it every which way." more... A- E! Online Alex Markerson "The myriad rough-and-tumble fight scenes illustrate the wisdom of casting Craig..." more... A   Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman "...Craig, speckled with facial cuts, plays Bond with an almost bruised virility..." more... A   filmcritic.com Sean O'Connell "Stunt work on Royale will impress you the most." more... B+ Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "...should help newcomers and older viewers rediscover what made Sean Connery's early Bond movies the best of the series" more... B   New York Post Kyle Smith "Craig smolders in thrilling reboot of 007 franchise." more... B   New York Times Manohla Dargis "Casino Royale doesn¿t play as dirty as the Bourne films, but the whole thing moves far lower to the ground than any of the newer Bond flicks." more... B   ReelViews James Berardinelli "For Daniel Craig, this is a triumphant debut. Not since early Connery have we seen a Bond this magnetic." more... A- Rolling Stone Peter Travers "There's one whopper of a reason why Casino Royale is the hippest, highest-octane Bond film in ages, and his name is Daniel Craig." more... A- San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...brings vigor to the Bond franchise and the possibility of new directions." more... A   Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...flat-out one of the best Bonds ever." more... A- USA Today Claudia Puig "...Daniel Craig has made Bond his own." more... B   * Yahoo!
