Re: The New Bond.. Yeah..it was gritty for a reason.
It showed the amateur side of Bond, when he first started off as 00 agent, and his nievity in some aspects too. Wouldn't of fitted in if it had been done in any other fashion.
Obviously that means he isn't going to be as smooth as he is in the other films but it helps explain why he is so smooth later on.
I thought the Casino scene itself was one of the best Bond scenes ever.
However
Live and Let Die + Goldeneye > Casino Royale.
Baron Samedi > All Bond enemies.
