No, Casino Royale is very much back to basics on the gadget front (well, except the defibrillator in the Aston!) It is definitely not a gadget-movie, by any stretch of the imagination, which actually keeps it very close to the novels themselves.

Casino Royale is a slight change of direction for Bond. More of a new beginning than a continuation. Most of the gadgets are gone, but I think it still worked perfectly. Bringing Bond back to being a cold killer dedicated to his profession.

Casino Royale was a great film and you should definitely see it. It's currently showing on Sky Movies... but, I just remembered... you don't have sky do you?

I agree, the new bond is an awesome film.

The only thing wrong with it is the appalling soundtrack. It's the least memorable song in the world. I can't even remember the chorus and I've seen CR about 4 times now.

At least Die Another Day was memorable!

I agree regarding the sound track. Some generic Nickleback sounding rock track, where instead it has always been a well know prominent artist singing the main signature tune in the past.

I dunno, I quite like the CR theme tune (You know my name) - it was used quite effectively in ITV's F1 coverage where even taken away from the film it sounded like a Bond theme rather than a generic piece of indie rock.

However Live & Let Die is my all time fav. while Die Another Day is for me by far the worse.
