Parent Movie Review

CASINO ROYALE adds a more serious quality to the Bond franchise that heightens the jeopardy to an exciting level. Daniel Craig as the new James Bond is an excellent addition. That said, the movie is a more adult Bond movie. It has a humanist worldview, brief foul language, sexual content, and strong violence, including a very strong torture. Vesper Lynd is a fictional character featured in Ian Fleming's 1953 James Bond novel Casino Royale.She was portrayed by Ursula Andress in the 1967 James Bond parody, which is only slightly based on the novel, and by Eva Green in the 2006 film adaptation. In the novel, the character explains that she was born 'on a very stormy evening', and that her parents named her 'Vesper', Latin for 'evening'. Share this Rating. Title: Casino Royale (Video Game 2006) 5 /10. Want to share IMDb's rating on your own site? Use the HTML below. Parents Guide: Casino Royale (2006) Sex & Nudity (11) Moderate; There is a scene where we see a woman changing, brief and no nudity. It's implied Bond and a woman go.

Many have imitated, but there is only one Bond… James Bond. Although various actors have played the lead character of this aging franchise, and the mother studio of Bond (MGM) has been sold and revamped, there is still a breath of hope left in this spy’s game. It comes in the form of Daniel Craig and an innovative approach to the script, which makes this incarnation far more contemporary.

Casino Royale (2006) directed by Martin Campbell. Movie information, genre, rating, running time, photos, trailer, synopsis and user reviews.

First, don’t confuse the 2006 Casino Royale with the 1960s spoof of the same name. This outing is serious business—in fact, it’s the most “down to business” Bond I can recall. Yet even with less flippant humor, more blood and (gasp!) less sex, this episode will still capture viewers. But this time the tools of the trade are smart writing, astounding performances (Craig being the kingpin) and a polishing of that classic 007 style.

Ironically, this film is based on the first book written by Bond’s creator Ian Fleming. The story recounts the secret agent’s initial mission where he takes on Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), a financier for freedom fighters and terrorists. All the bullets and fistfights eventually lead to a high-stakes poker game in which the super sleuth, with the backing of the UK government and the watchful eye of their beautiful treasury officer Vesper (Eva Green), puts taxpayers’ money on the line in the hopes of breaking up Le Chiffre’s evil network.

Parents of teens wanting to view this action/adventure should know there is both good and bad news. From the moment of the opening credits (which are missing the typical silhouette of a nude woman) you know this Bond is a little different. That’s not to say the film is devoid of sex, but the quantity is toned down. The covert operator has a sexual relationship with only one woman, and he is even depicted as having feelings for her. (Welcome to the new, sensitive Bond.) However, violence is still as rampant as ever, with hand-to-hand combat, gunshots and a scene of torture. Yet, adding a dose of mortality to the usually unbeatable character, this Bond bleeds—even quite profusely in one scene.

And perhaps that’s what will make this film more appealing to 21st century audiences. Having a suave, cool and sophisticated hero can be a little boring sometimes, so this movie allows him to make the occasional mistake and stumble while chasing the bad guy. Women have been promoted from being mere sex objects to becoming sexual distractions… okay, that’s not a huge improvement. Still, compared to the last few installments of 007, Casino Royale may prove a better bet. Whether or not you should share it with your oldest teens though, is still a gamble.

Starring Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Judi Dench.Running time: 144 minutes.Theatrical release November 16, 2006.Updated July 17, 2017

Rating & Content Info

Why is Casino Royale rated PG-13?Casino Royale is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for intense sequences of violent action, a scene of torture, sexual content and nudity

Daniel Craig’s first Bond film presents a slightly different tone, with a more serous plotline and less gratuitous sexuality. However, concerning content still prevails with many scenes of hand-to-hand combat, people being shot (along with the usual bullets, a man is shot in the eye with a nail gun) and a naked man subjected to torture (it’s implied his testicles are the target of the attack—no explicit nudity is seen). Sensational and perilous stunts are shown throughout. In one scene, Bond seduces a woman in order to gain information—neither character removes their clothes and they are interrupted before things get too involved. Bond is also depicted passionately embracing another woman in a couple of instances. As well, the main character is shown consuming fancy alcoholic drinks and usually drives in a reckless manner—all in a day’s work…
