Casino Royale, for those who've seen it (spoilers)

[happymedic]

It was definitely a revamp of Bond, nice to see something fresh, and I reckon Daniel Craig pulled it off quite well. But I would agree that the last half hour or so really dragged on. If this romantic stuff could be incorporated more into the timeframe of the 'main' storyline, e.g. the casino, instead of being kept until the end of the film, it could have given the chance for the romance to develop further, while other events where ongoing. Still, I reckon that the film sets up very well for a sequel, not so much with regards to the storyline, but the way that Bond has developed as a character by the end of casino royale.
