Does the role fit the new James Bond?
Considering the original "Casino Royale" film starred David Niven and although recognised as a 'good' film it was somewhat lacklustre by todays standards...the remake of it is a good film in its' own right. However..for those who have been nurtured on the Bond series of films...the lack of 'Q' and the lack of gadgets and incredible stunts, may make it a less interesting proposition.
I reiterate..it is a good film in its own right but many who have followed the Bond series of films will perhaps find it a little shaded.
