As other reviewers have stated: the streamlining of casino royale in this edit works just great. I didn´t find any scene narrative, which didn´t work. Also in a editing sense, flawless execution:) No audio clipping or rouge frames.
Great work.

The one thing i´ve to criticise out of my own personal preferences is the overall quality of the encode. The bitrate is fine for the purpose but i like it near blu-ray quality.

Very good job. I really like the changes made here. Bond's relationship with M and Vesper feels more natural and I particularly loved the hokey poisoning part being removed. This is basically a really good movie with most of the minor little quibbles removed (for me, anyway). It improves upon the original and is now my go-to version.

Minor issues: I think the saturation or blur is slightly too high in scenes. Particularly the black and white opening and on the felt of the poker table it is noticeable. Also, one product of cutting out the poisoning is that it is said before one break "when we return the big blind will be 200,000" and then when they come back it's "the big blind is now 500,000" or something like that. I could be messing up the numbers but they don't match. Minor thing that could probably be fixed by cutting one line or the other, or replacing the amount in the line before the break.

No editing issues, very technically proficient. Well done!

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.

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.

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!!
