Having read some of the novels including Casino Royale, Daniel Craig really has the character nailed and is believable in the role, Oh and Eva Green is hoter than a stolen radioactive isotope!
Some of the stunts did stretch credibility a bit, the use of CGI is pretty minimal and from what I have seen from the brief "making of" documentary I caught by and large its simply been used to delete safety harnesses and equipment, rather than allow people to pull off imposible moves.
The film doesn't have quite the grit as a Bourne film or the first couple of series of 24 but its a world away from the fantasy fests that were the last couple of Bond outings.
Eight badly stirred Martinis out of Ten!

i don't get it how people call this true to the novel
as a 00 agent , he is as blunt as a sledgehammer, and in several ways screws up as a secret agent, where in the book he is Bond, attention to detail, no dumb and dumber screwups
can't go in detail , but he makes the #1 rookie mistake of tailing a mark, twice withing 15 minutes of the movie, with different targets, twice blowing his cover, twice causing it to escalate instead of effectively finding out where his mark is going to...
as a secret agent his career was over after the intro of the movie, but M, contrary to what the spy boss would have to do, or how Fleming portrayed the Bond-M relationship, does... nothing
