Casino Royale.?

I never enjoyed the first movies as they all seemed the same, casino royale though i thought was very good. It's the only bond movie i've actually sat down and watched twice and would watch again!!

I hated it. Bond is supposed to have witty one liners, and he's supposed to be sauve and seductive. Daniel Craig wasn't sauve, his kills weren't clean; his seduction amounted to rape; and he had no memorable lines whatsoever. If Bond movies are going to be like that, I'm sticking with XXX. Vin Diesel and Ice Cube are much better at being Bond-like than Daniel Craig.

I don't see how you can compare a spoof that's meant to be humorous with an action movie. Sort of like comparing apples and broccoli. I thought there was plenty of humor in the new Casino Royale, but it was dry humor. Maybe it was just too subtle for you. It's the first Bond movie that I really enjoyed and thought was worth watching more than once.

I love Roger Moore as James Bond. He's ENGLISH, sophisticated and fits the role. Funny too. He was the first ever James Bond I laid eyes on and grew up watching. Roger Moore was the FIRST ever WORTHY replacment for Sean Connery at that time. But also, Roger moore put his touches on to the character for 11 long years, he took James Bond away from his dark, tough and dry side. Others after him were FORCED to follow in his foot steps. Timothy Dalton brought back the "darkness" James Bond missed, yet he mixed it with humor and LACKED the toughness. Pierce wans't dark at all. He looked good, but he too, took James Bond further away. James Bond was alienated him TOTTALLY. Daniel Craig, however, insisted that James Bond MUST bleed. He also insisted, helped by his physique, return to his TOUGH, ROUGH, Brain splattering, Blood spilling roots, since the producers wanted to REBOOT the franchise. The only thing NOT perfect about Daniel is that he is Blonde. When watching Casino Royale, you must remember that is the first novel ever written about Bond, a REBOOT and James Bond's FIRST "00" mission as he is unexperienced. Casino Royal is the mission that made James Bond we all came to know what he is.

My family are Bond fans and have all the DVDs we did not think the new Casino Royale fitted the genre at all. My husband thinks it is because it does not have the theme music running through it. I found it very difficult to believe in when it was supposed to be his first mission (so should have been set in a time before Sean Connery) but was using mobile phones and suchlike. It was good to see him being 'formed' into the Bond we have come to know. I don't like it at the moment but think it will grow on me.

Interesting point of view. We must not have watched the same Casino Royale movie. The one I watched featured an amazingly talented and emotionally deep man who was both flawed and complex. Daniel Craig brought compassion and humanity to a character that has long been nothing more than a two dimensional cartoonish oaf. I hope he is chosen for the next Bond film too.

It's true, I don't like the new Casino Royale. But I found the argument some times a go that made me accept this movie as Bond's movie. It is true that Casino Royale is the first novel of Ian Flemming and it's about the first Double O mission, so as a new guy he think that he should take M's heart. I look forward to see how this aggresive ne bond to be a flamboyant one.

i'd say that the "now i can tell the whole world you scratched my balls AAAARGH" scene was pretty damn funny.
