it was good, but no gadget guy(waz Q, can't remember the name of the new guy except that the actor was john cleese) and they only played the old skool bond theme once(last scene). also, the intro song sucked imo. |
Casino Royale was the first bond book Ian Flemming wrote (I think) and it takes place before Bond became the ass kicker that he's been in the previous movie. Basically, he didn't have an assortment of gadgets that were available to a 00 agent because he wasn't one. How many times were you expecting the Bond theme anyway? I don't remember it being played a lot in other films. |

true, but that for me kinda tied into how those movies played on the fact that we already liked bond and they were just trying to give us more of the same
this one was distinctly different |

New bond makes brosnan look like a little bitch...
Amazing movie going to see it again friday and Eva Green is gorgeous
Oh and yes Casino Royale is bonds first mission, supposed to be set before all the other bonds, may be one of the reasons why no gadgets were in the film. Other than that I am really anticipating the next releases. |

I saw the movie, the story is boring and the villan is a total , not imressive at all. However Daniel Craig as the new Bond is superb, as expected, and Eva Green very hot indeed, i love the shape of her eyes

Saw it on the Saturday it came out. Fantastic movie, and quite the change from the over-the-top stories/plots that the more recent Bonds seem to have become (especially the one with Halle Berry; worst Bond ever, imo).
I liked how the movie was focused a lot less on the action and better detailed with twists, suspense, and an actual Bond love-life. Daniel Craig is easily in the running for taking Brosnan's place as second-best Bond.
10/10

Saw it way back before Craig was announced as the new Bond. I had zero doubts of his ability to play Bond because of it. |

Loved this movie, but the haven't cleared up all the stuff that made recent bond films so poor, mainly the realism factor
warning - a few minor spoils... don't read the rest of this post if you haven't seen the film and you don't want it spoiled. :D :D :D
for example near the beginning they drive through a bendy bus, which promptly explodes, then, while still driving the same fuel truck a bunch of guys shoot the hell out of it, but it doesn't explode, despite the fact it is leaking fuel all over the place, and jet fuel is flammable as hell.
another example is the self administered heart zapper (i can't think of it's proper name atm), which simply wouldn't work.
on the otherhand, if they keep the same low level of semi-beleivable gadgets, and probably some of the same gadgets, in later films it won't get so silly that he just happens to have the right gadget, without knowing he needed it. |
