Casino Royale - Best 007 movie in years [some spoilers]

[Ed_Laprade]

I was thinking of Goldfinger myself. You could practically see Bond wetting himself as the laser got closer to the family jewels. "No Mr. Bond, I don't expect you to talk. I expect you to die." It was pure luck that got him out of that one.

Okay back from it and it is a very good movie, a bit more graphic than some but Bond has shown us that in the past, so nothng new there. Villian, was weak, he was well played/acted, but not really a villian, just a bad guy. The girl, did not buy the reasons for her actions, just seemed to come out of the blue.

Plot and story was well done and acting all around was very good.

So, how many thought that Mr. White at the end worked for Specter?

I liked the movie, it was a good Bond movie and Craig makes a very good Bond even with those ears, there is some sauvness missing but still.

I heard they are going to get Mike Myers to play Blofeld (SP?) in the next Bond movie.

I heard they are going to get Mike Myers to play Blofeld (SP?) in the next Bond movie.

And then what? He going to blackmail the world for "ONE MEEEELLLEEEEOOON DOLLARS"?

For the record, I so hope this rumor is not true.

I thought this was the best Bond movie, and Craig is the best 007 ever. Hard, conflicted, dangerous, and above all human. Don't miss this movie, it kicked serious butt.

Oh, and the pain of watching that Astin Martin crash was just too much for me. I cried.

I tend to avoid movies with a lot of language and nudity.

Can anyone tell me what is said in this movie, and what nudity is shown?

(The rating mentions both language and nudity)

The only nudity is from Bond from the side, and its not meant to be "alluring" if you catch my drift. The language is actually quite witty and intelligent, not much crass language at all.

I saw it tonight and while I can see why so many liked it. I found it just okay. So did the people I went to see it with. We all agreed that we were glad we saw it but most likely would not be adding it to our DVD collections.

I will admit that I like all the gadgets and the silly one liners and I like the suave ladies man. I was never really fond of Sean Connery's Bond I became a Bond fan with Roger Moore.

As a matter of fact I desribed the movie to my roommate as Bond meets the Bourne Idenity.

I think the actor did a great job and am glad he put all the naysayers to shame.

Saw it yesterday with my dad and we both loved. We both made the comments that if you want a gritty bond, Daniel Craig is by far the best, even beating out Connery.

Simply great movie which I will most likely be seeing in theatres again, and buying on DVD when it comes out.

As the number guy, here are some. Happy Feet took number 1 at 46 Mill and Bond took 2nd with 40 mill.

"Casino Royale," introducing Daniel Craig as British super-spy Bond, fell right between the debuts of the previous two 007 flicks, which had been No. 1 and 2 among the franchise's openings.

The last Bond movie, Pierce Brosnan's "Die Another Day," holds the franchise record with $47.1 million in November 2002. Brosnan's 1999 Bond adventure "The World Is Not Enough" premiered with $35.5 million in November 1999.

"I think a $40 million-plus start for a new series of Bonds with Daniel Craig is a great beginning," said Jeff Blake, Sony vice chairman. "Casino Royale" also brought in $42.2 million in Great Britain, Russia and 25 other countries where it opened this weekend, Blake said.

Casino Royale is the best James Bond movie I've seen in a long time.

The rest of them seem like cartoons (and BAD ones) compared to this. Liked the rough around the edges / screw up Bond and I also liked how things werent that easy to figure out. Paying attention to the little details and thinking about some of what went on after the fact made the movie resonate with me better.

If the rest of them are going to be like this they cna count me in. Leave the gadgets and all of the other BS out of it, thank you very much.
