007 is back and better than ever. Casino Royal is everything a Bond movie should be. I ought to know. The first movie I ever went to with my friends was Thunderball, so I pretty much grew up with them all. Go and see Casino Royal. The first 15 minutes is better than entire movies I've seen recently. And if you don't agree with me, FU!

 

Oooh, cool Bill. Will have to see it.

 

Oh well then, if a lawyer says this is da shiet then we better go out and see it now

Watching "Family: Over the Hedge" with the little guy!

 

So the Bond movie is like 5 Thomas' ?

 

I am going to see it on your recomendation alone, Bill, as I wasn't planning on going before reading your thread. I will let you know how it goes.

 

Wow... well I liked it, but wasn't so impressed that it was a Bond movie. Beginning scene was cool, but reminded me of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon with all the jumping etc. I was also disappointed in not having a car chase scene. What kind of Bond movie doesn't have one? Lastly, Bond is naked and no women bare skin wtf? Bond's the man so as usual the women should be throwing themselves at him. Otherwise yes, it was a solid movie. I did enjoy it, but if they didn't call it a Bond movie I think I would have liked it better. On the flip side, the movie would not make it if it were not called Bond, due to his popularity.
From recent movies/years this movie is defenitely one of the better ones I've seen.

 

Anyway, this movie rocks. People are going back to see it multiple times. This ain't no crouching tiger BS with guys on wires walking up bamboo trees and flying up onto roofs. (bunch of crap). The "second" scene (the real opening scene shows how Bond gets his 00 status) that Whaler is talking about is done with real people doing real stunts. There is a name for the sport where people literally climb up the sides of buildings and can jump down from object to object...anyway, this is the real deal. The guy Bond chases is one of the best in the world at this activity and it is just amazing. I hope all future Bond movies go in this direction. It was a real story and it was very believable and very dark. It is much closer to the original books that the movies were based on.

Sure, I would have liked a car chase, but it was great without one.

 

Don't bring your service pistol. You will want to go out and shoot people when it is over.

 

People pay hundreds per hour for my advice. A wise person would take this free tip. Or you can watch willie wonka for the 15th time.

 

This was on the agenda for this weekend sometime. Thanks for the short review and Bill.
