Heck, it even makes sense since Saw III came out in the same year as Casino Royale and both movies have torture scenes in them.The torture scene is well-done, and is very scary and brutal, and is kind of like horror movies, such as Saw.The tone is much, much, more consistent than the previous James Bond films, and it's not too campy or silly.Really cool locations that fit well with the movie.And also the gunbarrel merging into the title sequence was a cool idea, because it's going to show you what happens next, turning everything into color for the rest of the movie.

Same with the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and Columbia Pictures logos at the beginning of the movie.

The black and white opening sequence is well-done, and really shows that James Bond before he was a double agent.

The poker game is interesting and engaging, as it was shown in the book.

The remixed iconic James Bond theme in the end credits is really nice to listen to.

For example: Arm yourself because no one else will save you! and Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel!.

Speaking of the music, You Know My Name by Chris Cornell is one of the best Bond songs and really fits the movie well, with great lyrics that make a lot of sense, unlike Madonna's autotune-filled Die Another Day theme song.

The score and soundtrack by David Arnold is really good, and is an improvement over his score from the previous Bond movie, Die Another Day.

Fantastic action sequences, such as the parkour chase and the airport fight scene.

The plot makes more sense than the 1967 parody of the same name as this movie.

James Bond and Vesper Lynd have plenty of decent chemistry throughout the movie.

Great and memorable characters, such as Vesper Lynd and Le Chiffre, as well as James Bond himself.

Speaking of the acting, it not only improves from the whole Pierce Brosnan Bond era, but it has much better acting than the 1967 version.Awesome acting, from actors such as Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen, Jeffrey Wright and Judi Dench.Compared to the 19 movies of the same name, it's even more faithful to the book by Ian Fleming.It brought back the James Bond franchise after 4 years, and rebooted the timeline, similar to what Batman Begins did and other films that killed their franchises temporally, causing them to be rebooted themselves.After earning 00 status and a license to kill, secret agent James Bond sets out on his first mission as 007, who must defeat a private banker funding terrorists in a high-stakes game of poker at Casino Royale, Montenegro.
