Despite being not officially a Bond film this is good solid, entertaining action.

Reviews for Casino Royale
Top CriticChaotic and astonishingly unfunny.
07/22/08
Top CriticEven less amusing than the more 'serious' Bond films.
02/09/06
Top CriticPoor 007 is now lost in a hall of distorting mirrors.
10/13/08
Top CriticSurrealisticly bad
02/12/08
Peter Sellers has some amusing gags as the gambler, the chance of dressing up in various guises and a neat near-seduction scene with Ursula Andress.
08/15/07
Top CriticA mess. Casino Royale is two hours and eleven minutes of non sequitur.
08/15/07
Top CriticOut of five directors -- only McGrath manages to connect with this brontosaurian James Bond parody.
08/15/07
Now Craig assumes the mantle, and you know, he does OK.
11/16/06
No less than five directors, including John Huston, and eight writers, including Billy Wilder and Ben Hecht, tried to salvage this lengthy, laden all-star Bond spoof--to no avail.
11/11/06
The few good aspects of this farce are vastly outweighed by the bad.
11/05/06
It's cheesy, cheesy, cheesy.
11/05/06
...only a very small minority of those acquainted with the more arcane aspects of 1960s cinema are going to have some appreciation for CASINO ROYALE.
06/26/05
It's the sort of reckless, disconnected nonsense that could be telescoped or stopped at any point.
05/09/05
Top CriticWatching this movie is a serious drag.
03/22/05
No review available.
01/14/05
Even more awful considering the wasted talents.
10/30/04
...a definitive example of what can happen when everybody working on a film goes simultaneously berserk.
10/23/04
Top CriticProfoundly unamusing bore.
04/23/04
Outlandish oversized spoof -- a perfect evocation of its time.
