Yes on Sunday I went with my friends Jessie and Freya to see Casino Royale! What can I say about this film, well it totally blew me away, with it’s down to earth feel and a realness I’ve never seen in Bond before. With this all happening around the poisoning of that Russian agent in real life we can see that these spies and intelligence services do exist and they really are doing these sorts of things all the time. I have heard mixed reviews of this film, if you like the story side to James Bond, and the realistic sides of film, like Spooks but without needing to think as much (I fail miserably when I have to think too hard about anything). But another group will find the lack of what made James Bond so cheesy and fun, in the gadgets and comedic characters such as Q, and a smart assed but never the less funny James Bond that these are gone, and if this was the only reason you liked James Bond, then you may well be disappointed, though gadgets fans could be resuscitated by the mobile defibrillator.

No doubt it was still very funny, and I loved the product placement, even if it is distracting, particularly Richard Branson - loved it! I seriously urge you to watch this film, it is well worth it!
