I have. I enjoyed it very much. It was great to see many spiritual concepts being shown and discussed in a movie, a rare treat these days. I had to watch it twice to digest it all.

Well....I got a different view point. I feel that it's a movie that deserves multiple viewings.\n\nI will start by saying that this has undeservedly be panned by just about everyone! The fact is it wasn't what anyone was expecting, especially from Guy Ritchie. What everyone was expecting was cockney geezers and good one liners "do ya like dags?" etc, but this is far more mature than his previous works. I would agree that it is confusing but all the facts are there for us we just have to see them and listen harder, this film demands all your attention! Look past the cool and dazzling look of the film, try to listen to the dialogue rather than admire the performances and i think we will all get a more thorough understanding of the whole film.\n\nYes this has its influences from modern classics( fight club, pulp fiction etc ) but it is in the whole original in both direction and pacing with a music score second to none. I feel that if everyone watched this film over and over they would understand it a lot more and maybe appreciate it for the fine piece of modern cinema that it is and i hope also that Ritchie continues in this vain as i far prefer this to his mockney "masterpieces". \n\nThe brief plot outline is.............\n\nJake Green is a hotshot gambler, long on audacity and short on common sense. He's rarely allowed to play in any casino because he is a winner. Jake has taken in so much money over the years, he is the only client of his accountant and older brother Billy. One night, Jake, Billy and their other brother Joe are invited to sit in on a private game, where Jake is expected to lose to Dorothy Macha, a crime boss and local casino owner who can't play for squat, but always wins because people are too scared to beat him. Jake isn't afraid of Macha, and not only beats Dorothy in a quick game of chance, but takes every possible opportunity to insult the man. Jake and his brothers leave the game, and Macha puts out the order for a hit on Jake, who ends up working for and being protected by a pair of brothers, Avi and Zack, who are out to take Macha down.\n\navi and zack create the fictional crimelord mr gold to use in their big con to make macha and lord john destroy eachother without avi and zack having any direct involvement. \n\nthis film is about breaking free from mr gold, its more physcological than physical and thats obvious in the way its made. for once the physical actions in the movie mean so very little, you need to concentrate on whats happening to and IN the characters minds.

I saw it on Friday. It was a bit strange and far fetched in places but generally I thought it was really interesting and profound. My boyfriend didn't like it though. He thought it was a load of crap!

I saw this at a cast and crew screening in London last weekend: I'm not a huge Bond fan, but I do enjoy them on a purely popcorn level and this was definitely one of the best in recent memory. The tone is much edgier and nastier than the Brosnan movies, harking back more to Dr. No or For Your Eyes Only. The action sequences are brilliantly shot and edited for maximum impact and are some of the best out of any Bond movie. Martin Campbell, who also made 'Goldeneye', was an excellent choice and, for me, is one of the best Bond directors. What gives this the lead over recent Bonds is the more realistic feel: the exotic locales, fast cars, spectacular action, beautiful women and many other Bond hallmarks are all here but gone is the campy tone that marred, say, Die Another Day. Yes, the whole franchise is based on an entirely ridiculous and cartoonish notion but the more serious and harder-edged tone works really well here. In this context, Daniel Craig gives an excellent performance as Bond. I'll be the first to admit that I raised an eyebrow when I heard he was cast but he really makes it his own. It's hard to say whether he's better than any of the other Bonds: Connery and Brosnan felt right for the style of Bond movies they were in. Here, as suits the overall tone of the film, Bond is much more of a sadist, a cold-hearted killer with very little sense of empathy and Craig, with his piercing eyes, suits the role very well. He's charming and funny when required and totally convincing in the action sequences. The violence is less cartoon-like and flippant, too, with every punch, kick and shooting looking like they really hurt. Also, the story is just much more engaging than many a Bond film; the script's not going to win awards but it's consistently inventive and intriguing. Whilst the film has enough of it's fair share of action, the emphasis is equally on character and storyline and less on gadgets and sheer implausibility. When there isn't a huge action sequence happening, you don't miss it: the film's longest set-piece, the poker game at the Casino Royale, is as (or not more) gripping and entertaining than any of the chases and shoot-outs. The only minor gripes that I have are a slightly too long running time: the film drags a wee bit towards the end and, although it helps the tone of the film, we don't hear enough of the Bond theme tune! However, great directing and performances from everyone involved, along with Phil Meheux's excellent cinematography, Peter Lamont's as ever superb production design and all the other top-notch craft and technical departments make 'Casino Royale' a classy and very enjoyable night out at the movies.

I agree with you. It's a very good movie. Captiving is the word. I'm looking forward to see the other two of the trilogy, "Manderlay" and "Wasington".

I just saw a few minutes ago and I think that overall the movie was good but the ending was a little farfetched and the dialouge is to dull. The action is very well done and the story is very involving (as you can see In trying not to give it a way) I would go see it, my only major problems are the Hollywood ending and the shortness of the film.\n 4 out of 5 stars.

I saw the movie and LOVED IT. I am not  by any means a James Bond fan, and was so reluctant to see it. I thought Pierce Brosnan was a good James Bond, and never thought Craig could do better. But he proved me absolutely wrong. \nCraig is raw, real and yet in some ways charming. He truly is how I think Ian Fleming imagined Bond to be. James Bond was not like a flamboyant charming ladies man, he was a spy, a killer, and rough around the edges. Just like Craig seems to be. This  may be the BEST James Bond movie yet. FANTASTIC!

Possibly. Its one of the best ones i've seen in a while. Dont forget though, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 (didnt the 1st one get a few awards last year?), and some other ones are coming. And the year has just begun...

We tried to go see it but the local theaters only ran it for a very limited time. It's still in town, but only for matinee shows & I work during the day so we can't go see it.\nIt had a great trailer - we've been looking forward to seeing it. On the flip side, MI3 was showing 17 times a day, so I guess it's all about the money. I love Jimmy Buffet too & am still going to try to see the movie!!

I saw it recently and I absolutely love it! It was surprisingly good. Yet again Peter Jackson pulls off an epic masterpiece. It really did not feel like a 3 hour movie. You should see it! It was very well done. It's fast moving and intense. Jack Black also surprised my by actually doing a great job. It's a great movie.
