Casino Royale [Blu-ray] [2006]

Casino Royale is in my opinion the best of the Daniel Craig Bond films, but all the films are great, so I wound up getting all 3 steelbooks. These are awesome, and I was able to ad all 3 to my Digital Library with the UltraViolet Codes too that were included. This is a great value and I love the artwork on these Exclusive Best Buy Steelbooks!! A great gift for any Bond fan! ~PopCulter I hope they do something similar for SPECTRE when it comes out.

I was never much of a James Bond fan while growing up—the Connery movies were too dated, the Moore ones too high camp—but Daniel Craig's interpretation of the character in "Casino Royale" made me a fan of this Bond! Gritty, gutsy, and action-packed—the parkour chase sequence is amazing—"Casino Royale" is definitely my favorite Bond film!

This is NOT a review of the film itself but of this particular packaging of it. The steelbook has a very attractive design, but the build is flimsy and was easily broken. Compared to my steelbook copies of The Raid and Inception, the metal on this one is more flexible and seems thinner. It also has a glossy finish rather than the matte finish of others. Would I recommend it? As long as you're careful with it. This one broke in a box of gifts traveling to/from a holiday get together. Was it careless on my part? Probably partly, but it wasn't like things were tossed on top of it. I'd recommend you stop by a Best Buy store and feel the product before purchasing online.

This is a reference disc for anyone wanting to test out their home theater calibration. The Black and White sequences really bring out the contrast and a must-have for any one with a home theater.

The picture transfer was just amazing, sound so clear .

Love this movie beautiful great good family movie to watch

Good origin story for Craig's 007...great action but drags at parts

For those who might get confused, this is the newer Casino Royale that kicked off the Daniel Craig era of James Bond films - not the 1967 film that is considered an "unofficial" Bond, having not been done by MGM/Pinewood. This was considered a breath of fresh air for Bond fans, though with a serious return to the intrigue and grit present in some of the earlier films (1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service being a good example). The cinematography has been brought back to a very high standard; not that it ever left - It just took a break for a while ;) The steelbook packaging is beautiful without drawing too much nonsense incorporated to really make it shine in neon on my shelf. Good art, the right amount of flair, and a solid implementation of the steelbook design. Not spectacular, and not worth a massive difference in price over a standard release, but fine if you can get a deal. Overall, a recommended film, and fun packaging that fans can appreciate.
