5.0 out of 5 stars Collector's Item, January 4, 2007

This review is from: Bond on Set: Filming Casino Royale (Hardcover)

This book has some amazing photos from the production of the movie. I believe it is a must-have for any fan of this recent movie and a fantastic piece for your collector's item library. I love the picture on the deskjacket and the same picture is on the book as well. Its worth the price for sure. I do wish there were a few more pictures of Daniel Craig though and not so many of other characters but it is in fact a book of photos from the filming of it so that should be expected. The pics are fantastic though and there are some nice questions/comments asked to Daniel Craig in the back that make it even more interesting.. Awesome book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive looking Daniel Craig in CASINO ROYALE, November 27, 2006

This review is from: Bond on Set: Filming Casino Royale (Hardcover)

Photography is a hobby of mine and I found this collection of photographs from CASINO ROYALE to be very insightful. The images are striking, candid and effectively reproduced. This is a quality publication and really makes Daniel Craig look fabulous as James Bond. Craig certainly looks like Ian Fleming's blunt instrument with his rough and roughish looks captured with charismatic fervor in the photographs in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bond, April 1, 2007

This review is from: Bond on Set: Filming Casino Royale (Hardcover)

I've always been a Sean Connery Bond man. Some guys are Roger Moore guys...etc..
I even thought Pierce Brosnan was the best since Connery. So when the announcement of Daniel Craig as Bond surfaced I was not too thrilled. But as soon as I saw the movie I was sold! If not actually better than Connery (I'm still debating), he's right on par with a new take.
"Bond on Set" is a great picture essay all about the making of "Casino Royale". It puts you there like a little visit to the set. If you like Bond and if you like the reboot of "Casino Royale", pick it up!
