I'll Keep This Brief
Just go to see this movie. It’s got something for everyone, and it is a welcome break from some of the cheesiness of recent Bond movies. I can’t believe that a cartoon about penguins drew more at the box office this weekend – but it wasn’t by much.
(Note: I decided against including a picture of him coming out of the ocean wearing teeny little swimming trunks. But it was a tough decision.)

Yeah, very enjoyable and even gives a shot of optimism for the health of the franchise. (And my wife duly noted the little swim trunks as well...)
I've got a pair of those trunks waiting for the trip to Italy. It's about the only place in the world where a big guy can get away with skimpy swimwear. I was going to go with Speedos but decided against it.
Seriously, Casino Royale is an awesome movie. It's nice to see the Broccoli clan get the franchise back on track.
Quick note, from someone who contributed 1 adult and 1 child admission to the dancing penguin movie: I don't have an issue when the #1 flick in the country is a reasonably entertaining flick with a somewhat subversive plotline instructing children on how to become environmentalists. The sub-title of Happy Feet might as well have been "Think Globally, Act Locally", and it's the first children's movie I've ever seen that featured a UN debate on allowable industrial fish harvesting limits. It won't be up for any awards (to be fair, neither will Bond), but I was really impressed to show up for some escapist animation and find a dark tale of the perils and environmental impact of overfishing mixed in with some amazing tap dancing (motion captured from Savion Glover).
Sadly, this week the Tenacious D movie will be rockin' my socks off, so attempts to see Bond will be put off another few weeks. :)
I'll do what I can to make my little contribution to the Bond franchise tonight.... It's either that or re-rent the Kelly Clarkson movie, and we all know where that leads....

Who's to stop you from putting up a pic of the teeny trunks as well as the tantalizing tux? Hehehe... it was a great movie.
