Casino Royale: The Big Picture

Problem Eliminator took my favourite Daniel Craig film and made it even better. I didn't miss any of the cut footage and the pace was greatly improved. Neither I or my wife noticed any editing issues. Fantastic work!!

Fantastic edit! Great pacing improvements, great story improvement. This is a bond flick for the modern era - keep the old school charm, while increasing the pace/tension.

I have enjoyed the Daniel Craig Bond films. These have presented the character more like I've always wanted, so I have few issues with the films overall.

With that said, I really enjoyed Problem Eliminator's edit of the film. All of what was cut turns out to have been extraneous and I did not miss at all while watching. No scenes felt overlong and by the same token, none felt abruptly cut off either. The cuts were all well done and I couldn't tell you where they were made without a cutlist in front of me.

The story moves along at a nice pace, neither dragging or feeling rushed. The Bond-esque campy quips are held to a minimum so don't get tiresome. The characters and interactions felt more natural than the original release. Overall this was a very enjoyable take on the film.

Man oh man, ProblemEliminator lives up to his name by eliminating the minor problems that held back Casino Royale in my opinion from being a 9/10 to 10/10.
Toning down the edginess of Bond with making him less of a loose cannon does wonders for the movie, and removing those scenes where M is scolding him like a newbie was a good call. I also liked that some of the dialogue was made tighter, and the poker scenes flow better in my opinion and keep the tension going. Also, thanks for removing those scenes of the him driving the ford and using the 'GPS' sony phone, it makes the movie hold up better with time. Other cuts like removing the defib scene I was skeptical on but it actually didn't detract from the movie much at all, if any.
Overall, I'd say the TBP cut of Casino Royale is the version of the classic I will watch on repeat viewings, and I recommend it to everyone who enjoyed Casino Royale, or even those who didn't like its length.

And here I thought Casino Royale was already an excellent movie, but somehow PE has managed to make it notches higher on my list of movies - I applaud your work! I cannot wait to check out your cut for Spectre.
