Excellent movie, Excellent 3-Disc Set

Casino Royale is the 21st official James Bond movie and the first in the series to star Daniel Craig as James Bond. It's based off the Ian Fleming novel and essentially reboots the franchise with 007's first major case, to bring down the terrorist banker Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen).

Similar to what Batman Begins did for its franchise in 2005, Casino Royale takes a formulaic pop culture icon and makes him relevant and exciting again by bringing back the basics. I'm a huge Bond fan and I would've been happy with more Bond films in the vein of the Brosnan era, but this installment is like the breath of fresh air I didn't know I needed. Suddenly we have a James Bond that gets to develop as a real character, a beautiful love interest that really matters (Eva Green will go down among the best of the Bond girls), and action sequences that are intense and edgy without looking like they've been coated in the usual Hollywood gloss. This may be the 21st film in the franchise, but it stands on its own as a great movie and that's what makes Casino Royale work.

The original 2-disc release was barren of any really relevant features, so while I usually avoid the double-dips, this was one Collector's Edition that was worth it. You get everything that was in the 2-disc set, plus a third disc loaded with deleted scenes and documentaries. Most interesting are a segment discussing the legal entanglements that kept EON Productions from making Casino Royale until now, and a documentary on the effects-heavy Venice finale. Note the box lists a visual commentary by the producer/director, but the visual are only for the Blu-Ray edition.

Blu-Ray or standard def, this edition of Casino Royale is worth owning.

This isn't the same old Bond. And that's A-okay.

Daniel Craig stars as James Bond in "Casino Royale", which features a great plot, great cast, great action, the best Bond, best Bond girl, and a great Bond villain. (Goldfinger is a better villain.) This is the best James Bond, by far.

Great item but...

I love the movie and the transaction was fast and delivery excellent, the only issue, and im aware its got nothing to do with the seller, its that the description does not show that the movie subtitles are in Thai...

I guess that needs to be added to the description...

more Die Hard than James Bond, but still a enjoyable action flick

This was an enjoyable movie, not great but good. It's really far closer to the Die Hard movies than the James Bond movies. I didn't think much of the person playing M though.
