Holy crap, it looks awesome.

I hope to God it is better than that last piece of crap they called a James Bond movie....

[hoolio]

You didn't like Casino Royale? or are you referring to the wonderful masterpieces Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, and who could forget Die Another Day.

I'm really glad that Hollywood woke up and decided that they would stop trying to ruin every franchise by dressing it up. The new darker approach to movies like Batman & James Bond is great. I also like that Marvel comic based movies are starting to get tied together, and we're set for an Avengers movie sometime in 2012 after they give Captain America & Thor their own films.

It's like someone clued them into the fact that it wasn't piracy that was solely responsible for people not going to the theater, it was really really really bad movies.

I hated Casino Royale. I thought the character as portrayed was the stupidest James Bond in history. He kept getting caught and only lived thru the entire movie via pure luck. I thought it was the corniest, unbelieveable, most poorly acted piece of crap I had ever seen. I know others loved it, and I just assumed it was the same folks who thought 'Gladiator' was a documentary

Glad I didn't read your review before I saw it.

Obviously those who like watching people being bullwhipped in the balls might disagree

[3Jack]

Yup.

[rezadue]

I am with you on this Mike. Maybe Reid is referring to the David Niven Casino Roylae?

Glad I didn't read your review before I saw it.

[1972Apex]

Actually, I preferred the David Niven version....
It's just personal taste. People seemed to either love or hate the latest movie. Some of my friends thought it was the greatest Bond ever. Others, like me, thought it was mindless.
I thought it was just like any other Hollywood action piece of crap they are putting out these days. They are all the same, trying to be dark, but truly laughably unbelievable. See this week's latest... 'Wanted'.

Did you not see Die Another Day? He drove an invisible car and out ran a solar satellite beam using a windsail.

I thought those were pretty stupid too.. but at least they had some redeeming humor...
The campiness of earlier James Bond movies is what made the ridiculous action tolerable. Taking it seriously like in the last movie just ruined it for me.

[little brit]

I will look forward to it

[moochie]

Personally, I enjoyed Casino Royale. Glad to see Brosnan out of the role. Worse Bond ever.

[Wilster]

I totally agree , the new trailer looks pretty impressive also.

agreed. next best movies are the new batman and this one. They say the bond will have twice the action of the last. I personally thought the last was fine, more of a thinking mans bond, but I cannot complain to twice as much carnage and revenge.

[rezadue]

I re-read your comments a few times Reid. And I am not sure how you get "laughably unbelievable" out of Casino Royale, when comparing to any other Bond movie.

I thought that all of the action sequences were carefully designed to be only slightly beyon the realm of possibility. Which is what we expect out of action heros anyway. To do what the ordinary man can not!

There is nothing wrong with making a more serious, "darker" Bond as long as it is made well. And CR was such a movie.

As for poor acting, you are just about the only person I have heard of, who thought the acting was poor in this movie. Craig was generally applauded for his acting in this movie.

And to compare CR to Wanted is not even close. Not even close!

Consensus: Casino Royale disposes of the silliness and gadgetry that plagued recent James Bond outings, and Daniel Craig delivers what fans and critics have been waiting for: a caustic, haunted, intense reinvention of 007. But scribes also note "Casino" is hardly morose, with enough stunning action sequences and in-jokes to please the diehards. Some pundits even go so far as to say that Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Sean Connery.

It's just one person's opinion rez (well, actually my wife hated it too). Don't lose any sleep over it

Yes... the action sequences were just slightly out of the realm of possibility... for Superman or Thor... . If it makes you feel any better I thought the same thing when Pierce Brosnan jumped into the airplane at the beginning of his first Bond movie.

In all honestly I can barely remember the movie as it bored me completely to death. I still think Daniel Craig's version of Bond was just slightly smarter than the character in the Bond spoof 'Johnny English'.

But don't let my opinion ruin your enjoyment of the next one . I'll pass myself.

[rezadue]

Dammit! You must like Bond. I am up every night thinking about it. Now I am doubly as frustrated. I am going to kidnap both you and your wife and play CR as many times as it takes to make you fans. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I don't know if you can put that on Pierce. I think he did a pretty good job with what the hack writers gave him. I have to say that I enjoyed Golden Eye, but everything that followed was pure crap.

Like almost everyone else here, I'm looking forward to QoS. I've just gone and put Casino Royale onto my zip.ca ZipList again in Blu-Ray.

[Sakuraba]

I remember jumping into that falling airplane, it wasn't that tough. It was on my nintendo 64 at the time... classic. If you didn't like Goldeneye, play the classic video game, THEN watch the movie...

I have to say I liked Casino Royale better than any previous Bond movie. but as my dad always said "degustubus non disputandem"

Thats latin for (roughly) there's no disputing taste. I guess he never reads message boards!

The worst Bond ever honour falls on the automaton that was George Lazenby, followed closely by the Charisma-less Timothy Dalton.

I agree that CR was the best Bond movie ever. But at the same time I think given today's film making advances, the early Connery stuff could have been as good, providing the same advances were used in those movies.

LMAO! You must have really liked the movie

[moochie]

I loved CR. Especially, the foot chase at the beginning and the Aston Martin.

Live and Let Die, second.

[little brit]

I feel that the Bond movies grow really well with their time. When you watch the oldies you really feel like they represented the time period in which they were shot.
