Teleport City |
 | | Casino Royale is as much a character study as it is a pulp action novel, and Bond is deeply flawed. |
 | | Casino Royale is a good book that, knowing what we know, becomes a phenomenal "origins" story, the foundation for a rich and complex world of double-cross, espionage, and beautiful but dangerous ladies. |
 | | The film, directed by several talents and starring a veritable who's who of popular actors from the time, is an unholy mess that has little to do with the original material (though Orson Welles appears as Le Chiffre and Ursula Andress shows up as Vesper Lynd), or with any other James Bond film. |
