Foolin' Myself Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I saw the new Bond movie "Casino Royale" ovwer the weekend and I thought it was really good. It didn't have the gadgets of other Bond movies, infact, I can't remember one gadget in the movie that Bond used. Daniel Craig pulled it of being the first blonde 007. One of the best chase scenes was not by car or by boat but by foot. Bond chasing the guy up and down the scaffling, jumping from roof-top to roof-top was great. It might have been a little far fetched but so is an invisible car (Die another day). I thought the twist and turns at the end was emotional as it was in "On her majesties secret service" with Lazenby. I am a huge Bond fan and Overall I truly loved this movie. Of course, that is what a huge Bond fan would say. Anyone else have any comments about the film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cozmik Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Loved it for the most part.Better writing, more 3 dimensional characters (especially Bond) and less cheesieness than in any Bond film before. Bond was the cold-blooded killer S.O.B. from Fleming's original novel. Rebooting the series like this was definitely the right move.And a lot of guys were squriming during the torture scene.On the downside the last 20-30 minutes is somewhat anti-climactic and dragged for me. Every one knows the romance obviously couldn't have a happily ever after ending, so it just dragged for me at that point. The last 15 seconds make it worth it though.

Peachie Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I saw the movie this weekend as well. I'm definitely not a James Bond fan, but I REALLY enjoyed the movie. Lots of twists and turns, and it was refreshing to see the unusual emotional element towards the end. Two thumbs up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 It is fabulous. Simply terrific. I really like the rugged, tough " I can kill you with my hands" persona. THe prissy, metrosexual, lasers from outer space Bond had grown tiresome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecstasy Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 John and I caught it on Saturday and thought it was great! Nice humor without being over the top, lack of gadgets was good to see, action kept the movie moving... all in all, a great way to spend an afternoon.
