My Thoughts:
After watching this film I couldn't decide if I wanted to give this film a 3.5 or a 4 star rating as I enjoyed it so much. I really liked the story line but I also liked the fact that there is several familiar faces in it. There is Michael Clarke Duncan, Neal McDonough and of course Kristin Kreuk of Smallville fame in the lead role. This is the first role I seen Kristin Kreuk in that I didn't automatically think "hey, it's Lana!" Which says to me she did a good job in it. Either way, definitely a good and fun film well worth the time put in to watch it.

Plot:
CASINO ROYALE introduces JAMES BOND before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00" status. "M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly-promoted 007 on his first mission, which takes him to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face Le Chiffre, a ruthless financier under threat from his terrorist clientele, who is attempting to restore his funds in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. "M" places Bond under the watchful eye of the Treasury official Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together. Le Chiffre's cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in a way Bond could never imagine, and he learns his most important lesson: Trust no one.

My Thoughts:
The first hour reminded me a lot of the older Bond films and provided a lot of good action scenes. The free running looks really cool and the scene at the airport gets the blood pumping. What bothered me the second most anbout the film was how much of a bloody bastard Bond is. I can't really put my finger on it, but e.g. disobeying orders is one thing, but invading M's privacy and stealing her password just didn't seem like the usual Bond. Don't get me wrong though, I thought Daniel Craig played Bond very well and fit the role rather nicely.
However, there is this long stretch after the fight in the Casino which is very slow moving and rather boring. People playing poker has been portrayed in much more interesting ways before and they most certainly don't pull it off here. While it picks up speed a little bit towards the end, once they get to Venice, it's just not quite enough. The concluding action scene is well done and looks awesome, just too little too late, somehow.
While the poker stuff was unnecessarily long and could have been more exciting I guess the boring romance sequence was needed to set up the ending and even more the second film.
The picture quality of the Blu-ray was very good, the extras (an interview, a making of, a Bond girl special) were rather sparse though, considering the subsequent release.

Tom's Buffy and Angel Marathon, a review by Tom
12. Expecting (2000-01-25)
Writer: Howard Gordon (Writer)
Director: David Semel
Cast: David Boreanaz (Angel), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), Alexis Denisof (Wesley Wyndam-Pryce), Daphnee Duplaix (Selene), Ken Marino (Wilson Christopher), Josh Randall (Bartender), Doug Tompos (Dr. Wasserman), Louisette Geiss (Emily), Julie Quinn (Pregnant Woman), Maggie Connelly (Nurse), Steven Roy (Jason)
A episode I don't like very much. I think it's a stupid storyline, having Cordelia being impregnated by a demon. And Wesley is just a joke here.

Most of the episode is a rather boring Exorcist rip-off (or so I assume. I never have seen Exorcist). But I like the twist at the end, that the boy is more evil than when the demon was inside him.
