Excellent film: the comments that the film ignores 'gadgets' in place of 'realism' and favouring 'realism' linking this to 'a stripped down approach' belittles the franchise and this sequel. A magor error was made in showing his, the Commander's death in No Time To Die: it is the only error in all the films of the franchise. The greatness of Casino Royale is its dominant portrayal of themes, a technique more orthodox to films and television, as in contrast to movies and action films or blockbuster movies.
