Re: The Casino Royale / Daniel Craig Thread
seen it
it rocks!!!
only a couple of things to mention - not spoilers, for those who haven't seen it...
1. there are no nudey ladies in opening titles!!!
and talking of the titles... i originally hated the theme tune by Chris Cornell on its own, but somehow it really suited the titles... and when you listen to the lyrics over them it really fits... the title sequence was really nice...
2. Craig really suits the role - a ballsy hard man Bond - although I kinda think its action sequences are a bit too similar to the likes of The Transporter (which ain't a bad film, but...)
3. Its a Bond movie, but not as you know it... and i kinda missed the cheesy one liners...although there are a couple of quips... which are smile worthy... (look out for the 'money & penny' reference when Bond first meets up with Vespa) ...
its a nice filmic way to set up the next movies i think - this is kinda like how Batman Begins has re-ignited the Batman Franchise, and this is almost a 'wipe the slate clean' Bond relaunch - the real proof will be in Bond 22 i think...
still one of the best action movies i've seen in a while - even if there are a couple of 'down' periods in it - its very well done and worthy of 4/5 of anyone's points
