But I have to disagree completely with your opinion of the theme song. Shoving the title of the movie into the theme song <i>is what makes it a James Bond movie theme song,</i> I don't care how cheesy it is. I can't for the life of me remember the theme song to this "Casino Royale" at all, but I can sing almost every damn James Bond movie theme song there is, and I haven't even seen all the movies! "A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran was more memorable than this Chris Cornell nonsense. I’d agree with most of what you say about the movie; it kicked loads of ass.

Not only is Daniel Craig the best Bond ever (which was obvious the moment Layer Cake ended), but the movie itself, as you said, made the right decisions every step of the way. The action sequences were awesome, the verbal sparring between Bond and Vesper were actually alluring, witty, and compelling, danger was actually palpable, and oh, man - the one scene, where Bond tells the guy the whole world will know he died scratching his things? Oh, man - f'ing awesome. Everything about the movie was spot-on, and it's such a monstrous turnaround for the franchise that I can say without question, for the first time in my life, I'm a fan of James Bond.
