Despite its star-studded cast and potential for comic gold, 'Casino Royale' fails to live up to its promise.

IMDb's rating of 5.0/10 reflects the overall mediocre reception, highlighting the film's confusion and failure to capitalize on its potential. On Metacritic, 'Casino Royale' scores a mere 48/100, with reviewers noting the film's lack of direction and over-reliance on gags. While some appreciate the film's creative liberties, many find it a chaotic and inconsistent attempt at humor.
