Casino Royale (2hr 24min, in theaters.)
Directed by: Martin Campbell
Starring:
Daniel Craig
Eva Green
Mads Mikkelsen
Judi Dench
Jeffrey Wright
James Bond (Daniel Craig) has just became aquired '00' status. The film is his first mission and in it, he is sent to Madagascar to spy on a terrorist. However, things don't go so smoothy and he ends up on the front page newspaper. M (Judi Dench) is furious with Bond, so James decides to investigate independently.
I'm not a huge James Bond fan. But I liked this one. A lot more than the others (of what I've seen). I thought the acting was pretty good, it wasn't completley sexist like some of the old ones and since it was the beginning, there was some emotion from Bond. As I had mentioned Friday, there is a scene involving parkour, in the film. I know it's hard to accept, but Bond is not good at parkour. Since he's just becoming 007, I'll let it slide for now. There was actually quite a bit of humour in the film, which I enjoyed. It had a good balance of humour, suspense, action. Oh, the poker scene was sooooooooooo long. If you like poker, you won't mind. But I thought that bit dragged on a little too much. Um, so Daniel Craig has this lip thing going on, I'm not sure if it's intentional or he's just like that, but his lip kind of sticks out. At first it's annoying, but then it becomes kinda sexy, although sometimes during close ups it looked odd. Oh, and his body was way to big and muscular for his head. He looked like the hulk. It was weird and gross. I suggest for the next movie, he ton that muscle down to a reasonable size. But I must say, he looked good in the tux. If you are hoping for some of the classic Bond gadgets, they aren't in this one. It's more just shooting and a lot of hand to hand combat.
So, ya, I liked it, it was good. I say see it.
7/10

agreed on the too much poker, i mean we get it allready! and that guy explaining to the chick how much was on the table was so annoying, she's an accountant for god's sake! ummm yeah. bond's def too beefed, his calf was huge, i was a little grossed out. good action and what not. i was a little annoyed that the girl killed herself, what was up with that? i'm looking forward to more of daniel craig as bond, he's working the suit, and everything else much better then brosnan.
