I have to agree that "Casino Royale is quite a good film in its own right" and that it was definitely not a classic bond film, but it was supposed to show how Bond evolved into the Bond we came to know. In the beginning of the film he was more of a Bruce Willis than a Sean Connery, but as the movie progressed he learned and grew until the last scene when he is standing in his tailored suit over Mr. White and says to him, "The name is Bond, James Bond." with the Bond music in the background.

Hopefully this means that in Bond 22 scheduled for release in November 2008 we will find the sophisticated Bond we all knew. However, I personally hope it doesn't degenerate into the forced one-liners that we heard in the previous Bond movies. I was getting a little tired of it.

Here they seem to have achieved a combination of action and character development that could be the ticket for re-doing all of the Bond Films again, which I would like to see.

(Just in case you haven't heard about it yet, the next Bond film is supposed to start up two minutes from where this one ended and Bond goes after the organization responsible for everything that happened in the first one. Who knows, it could be SPECTRE.
