Drama Casino Royale

I really liked it, and as for being a superman, he isn't. Sure he does survives lots of stuff, but not really anything he hasn't before, and not unhurt. And as for the torture scene, he ends up in hospital for quite a while recovering, something I have a hard time seeing any of the other Bonds doing. They took loads of damage but kept going, to me this Bond is more human than the previous.


The film had stuff I was happy to see, they make mention of the fact that to become a 00 you have to have killed two people in cold blood, something the books mention but has never been mentioned in the films. It will be interesting to see if they keep closer to the books than the films for the future films since there are a few differences. 'Q' is more a creation of the films than the books (there is mention of 'Q branch' (quartermasters) and a character called 'Major Boothroyd'), as there is no person directly called 'Q' in the novels. In the novels Bond has two secretaries etc., in the films I don't think Bond has even entered his office.
 
^ was I the only one that laughed?? :thinking: :blush:

obviously not at the concept of torture more what Bond was saying to the guy torturing him :lol:

I actually really enjoyed it, the chase scene at the start was amazing!

Do you mean the crane fight sequence? Yeah Sally that was awesome!! The guy being chased by Bond, I was sure the fucker had springs in his feet!!
 
I just saw Casino Royale. Excellent start to a new incarnation of 007. Great action scenes (chasing the bombmaker).

Spoiler warning if you haven't seen the movie.
But geez, Bond.
Taking a drink of poison like that, without considering that Le Chiffre might want him to forfeit the gambling money seems foolish. I wonder why he didn't ask for help from Vespa & Mathis? He didn't suspect them at that point.

But I suppose being a rookie double-O agent led him to many foolish things.
1. Chasing the bombmaker into a foreign embassy.
2. Killing innocent embassy guards merely doing their jobs defending the facility.
3. Getting caught.
4. Getting caught on camera assassinating the unarmed bombmaker.
5. Being identified as a British secret agent assassinating the unarmed bombmaker.
6. Not foreseeing that using the wife of the new bomber would get her killed.
7. For believing that an expert poker player has 'giveaway signs'. I could see that was a trick by LeChiffre right away.

Speaking of obvious, was anyone surprised that Bond would use the bomber's own bomb against him? :P
 
God LORD! This is the best movie I've seen in months... :jawdrop: No kidding. I haven't seen good action like that in years. And Daniel Craig was the BEST Bond ever. Ever. My god, that was good. And the twist at the end was TOTALLY unsuspected. I fell for everything. Wow. Wow. Wow.

I think we were supposed to laugh during the torture. (I mean, "I have an itch"? duh. :D)
 
I can't wait to see it this weekend. Everyone keeps telling me its awesome. A lot of people also told me that Daniel Craig was great but very different than all the other bond actors.
 
The movie was okey compered to other Bond movies. I never liked the movies, because there was just to many gadgets involved, and that made them so unrealistic. This one was more down to earth.

Anyone who knows me knows im a Bond freak so I like every one of them (even Die Another Day, kind of :lol:smiley: but I agree the films less laden with gadgets tend to be better ie From Russia With Love all Bond had was an attache case.

Even though it didnt follow the 'Bond formula' totally this was an awesome action movie, Daniel Craig amazed me, I look forward to the next Bond film now!
 
I don't wanna compare the old Bond's to this one ... but this one is definitely THE BEST Bond movie ever ... it was more realistiv than all the others ... and Daniel Craig was excellent as Bond ... and hot and sexy ... ;)
 
I haven't seen this film yet and i wasn't sure if i wanted to or not after the last Bond film which i didn't think was that good and in this one there would be a different actor playing the lead role. Just thought that maybe some people who have seen can give feedback and/or recommendations.
 
Hi,
It is one of the best movie in 2006.The fights were superb and the stunts were tinkling.The new bond was good and came with a perfect movie.But the movie was lagging after the first half.They could have made it too with fights so that the audience do not get bored.But it was a good one.........
