007: Casino Royale

Is anyone as excited about this movie as I am?

I mean, this one looks really good. Getting back to the basics, but I don't think I like the new Bond.

How about you?

I'm thinking of another Bond. His name was Lazenby...
But in all honesty, essentially firing Brosnan even when he wanted to continue was one of the biggest mistakes I've seen in a while in the movie industry. It will probably bomb.

I'll probably see it, but I also wanted to see Brosnan continue. I liked him as Bond and I think the best was the second one he did... "The World is not Enough."

I think.

TWINE was the third one he did. The second he was in was Tomorrow Never Dies.

I am stoked and I hope it doesn't bomb like the rest of the new Bonds as Golden Eye was the only one I liked.

The premise is good though: Bond just becoming a double "O" and on his first mission.

Yes, that was it. It had the best gadgets BY FAR out of all the ones I've seen.

Well, I color me suprised, as this is my new favorite Bond movie. With Brosnan, the only Bond flick I got into was Goldeneye, but Casino Royale really grabbed me and held my attention for the duration of the flick.

Superb!

I agree with dex here. This movie was awesome. I also only liked goldeneye. The only other bond that beat this guy was connery. This movie I am going to suggest that all you see because of how fantastic it is.

The movie was pretty good, but Craig as Bond still doesn't fit with me, so I can't say I prefer him over Brosnan. Perhaps because the only recent Bond movie I hated was Die Another Day, as I quite liked TWINE and Tomorrow Never Dies.
It's still in my book:
1) Connery (particularly Never Say Never Again Connery)
2) Brosnan
3) Dalton

Some really minor spoilers?

Saw Casino Royale. Some cool action scenes, but outweighed by plenty of dry dialog mostly about a love story, and like the title suggests, guys playing poker for big chips for thirty minutes, also a trade mark of James Bond, but not one I really enjoy. Still, it was a solid film, the new James Bond kicks some ass, but I was waiting for at least a fancy car chase scene, or a trademark of 007 gadget... Favorite scene: The intro's on foot chase which lasted for about seven minutes. Interesting 007 film, a step outside the formula.

Based on reviews that hit the net, Casino Royale makes up for the crappy previous new bond films except for Golden Eye which was the only good new Bond flim.

Tomorrow Never Dies was also good.

Well, everyone is welcome to a opinion. I just wasn't too keen on tommrrow never dies.

I did like the Casino Royale. It felt original for a James Bond film considering the gritty style and lack of gadgets. Like someone else suggested, a more realistic James Bond.

It was a fairly good and enjoyable film, but to me, it was no 007 film. They messed up a few important bits: James Bond is a 00 agent. Bond needs Q to supply him with gadgets. Moneypenny was also missing, but much more important is that 007 always cares about how his Martini is served.

It was a good film, but not Bond.

It was a beginning Bond film. I saw the martini part on a commercial and I said the same thing. I thought the bartender would explain that difference.

Yeah I guess alot of people didn't know that this was Bond's first mission as a double "O".

I really don't want to see it because Pierce Brosnan isn't in it. I would only see it if was exceptionally good. And I mean exceptionally! lol

You like Pierce huh?

Reviews are saying its quite good. I haven't seen it yet but it looks like it makes up for the previous new Bond movies. I am gonna wait for the DVD to really decide by then.

the "I miss the cold war" (or something like that) of M ruined the being a beginnings film
