Casino Royale gets better every time I watch it

Even though I liked the movie, I had several problems with Casino Royale the first time I watched it in the theaters, most notably the way they used Texas Hold ‘em instead of the classic Bond baccarat.

I just bought the DVD when it came out a few days ago and watched it tonight. It has really grown on me. Partly, I think it works a lot better when you really understand the whole plot, which is not that easy to do the first time around.

Regardless, I think this is one of my new favorites in the Bond series.
