Two Readers Slide Into CASINO ROYALE!!

Shaken, not stirred by M B R	Nov 6th, 2006 12:06:06 PM
The new trailer kicked ass and these reviews give me hope. Can't wait for this!
Really hard to read when the lines break so awkwardly.. by tile_mcgillus	Nov 6th, 2006 12:10:52 PM
Really excited about this. Can't wait to see Bond not suck. It's been a while. Die Another Day might be the worst movie in years. However there were some great things happening in that movie. The disavowed Bond beginning was great. This sounds like it carries that level of intensity all the way through.
If he's anywhere near as good as Dalton by King Sweyn Forkbeard	Nov 6th, 2006 12:12:11 PM
This will be a solid flick. Too much comedy, not enough bad-assery in Bond films these days. A return to the cold-blooded killer of the books is long overdue.
Jonathan Pryce = Flames on Optimus by The Equalizer	Nov 6th, 2006 12:14:30 PM
Good stuff! I wasn't entirely convinced by Craig's casting in the role. I thought Brosnan was doing a decent job in the role even if hampered by weak plots and crap SFX. I was very disappointed by the last 3 Bond films and was crying out for a revamp to bring to life the original Fleming character. Looks like me and countless other Bond-ites(?) got our wish!

i always thought craig was good choice, and the book is great.
I don't think Pierce Brosnan could beat up Mirajeff by Garbageman33	Nov 6th, 2006 12:19:50 PM
That was my problem with Bond of recent vintage. Brosnan was a pretty boy. Sure, Bond should be attractive, but Brosnan looked like a Bacharach catalog model. Not exactly someone who strikes fear in your heart. Craig, on the other hand, has some wear on the tires. Like he's actually been in a fight at some point in his life. He might even be able to take Uwe Boll.

"do i look like I give a damn" .. that, as a line, is up there with "I don't want to be happy, last time I was happy, I was fat" .. genius
Cold-blooded killer? by georges garvaren	Nov 6th, 2006 12:23:24 PM
You must not of read any Bond books because if you had you would know that although Bond killed many, he often showed great remorse in having to. Im sure Craig will do just fine in the role; he doesnt look like Flemings idea of bond but then again none of the actors did.
As for the length and dragging in the middle... by BizarroJerry	Nov 6th, 2006 12:27:12 PM
I think most Bond films, at least the more recent ones have some extra filler that just make portions of it drag along. It's not a Bond film without being an a 1/2 an hour too long.
So, will the next Bond film be a LIVE & LET DIE remake? by SpyGuy	Nov 6th, 2006 12:27:33 PM
If Craig's Bond is essentially a reboot, there's an opportunity here to release remade versions in order that the Ian Fleming Bond novels were released. Of course, it would be damn hard to top Jane Seymour, the 7-Up guy and Paul McCartney and Wings' theme music, so maybe we should just forget everything I just typed. (Waves hand slowly across the air) These are not the droids you're looking for...
incredibly stunts! by Jonesey1111	Nov 6th, 2006 12:33:03 PM
What are incredibly stunts, anyway?

Sounds good! by Teamwak	Nov 6th, 2006 12:38:47 PM
I knew Craig would kick ass. Bring it on!
Both reviews are from people by mrswing	Nov 6th, 2006 12:41:32 PM
Both reviews are from people who don't like Bond films much... That will smultaneously be its greatest strength and its biggest weakness. For an interesting moderate negative review (i.e. disliking the film but also noting its strong points, including Craig's performance), see The Guardian's review.
Daniel Craig is not Bond and that's good??? by Spandau Belly	Nov 6th, 2006 12:44:19 PM
Great! Unless you're seeing a film in a franchise because you enjoy thetrademarks of the franchise. Why not "reboot" Halloween as a romantic comedy for all those people who never liked how cartoonish Michael Myers was? I also never liked how the Terminator was a robot, or how Pirates of the Caribean movies were family-oriented pirate movies. Casino Royal is going to suck. If I wanted Ronin, I'd order Ronin.
Helen Mirren as "M"! by BenMearsLot	Nov 6th, 2006 12:45:18 PM
I'm with Merrick in reference to Judi Dench. Don't get me wrong; I love the old Dame and she really added gravitas to the Brosnan films. But, as anyone (like myself and I am sure most everyone on this site) who follows the Bond installments knows, "M" (Dench) made a point to Bond in "Goldeneye" that she was the Alpha female and, although it was not expressly stated (I think), that she was the FIRST female "M" at MI6. Now, I realize that continuity isn't exactly the first priority on this new era of Bond (no cold war, different actors as Bond, etc...) but I do think that watching Judi as "M" ordering Bond on his first double-0 mission will be awkward, what with the aforementioned history in the films. Maybe I'm beeing nit-picky, but I would have loved to have seen a new "M" along with the other new faces. I would recommend Helen Mirren. Anyone who has ever seen The Magnificent Ms Mirren on Prime Suspect or, oh, anything she has ever done, would agree. Mirren would bring the same "take no shit" attitude that Dench displays while creating a new, strong "boss" that this new, 'leaner and meaner' Bond can respect. With any luck, maybe some Bond producer is reading these Talkbacks and he/she will consider this come Bond #22. What do you think?
boringbond06 by godzillasushi	Nov 6th, 2006 12:50:26 PM
Dont know about this one. People say they like it, but I like my Brosnan Bond. Action and pointless plots are something I enjoy.
HEY BELLY! Battlestar Galactica. by BenMearsLot	Nov 6th, 2006 12:57:07 PM
Belly: You have a point, but I have to agree with taking Bond through a re-imagining such as Sci-Fi has accomplished (magnificently, I feel) with Battlestar Galactica. Before the new version aired we heard much the same cries of outrage. But, luckily for everyone, the producers and the network stuck to their guns and the result is a fantastic show that has a skeleton created on the original while still being something different. It's high time that Bond have the same oppurtunity. Oh! And the comparison of this new Bond to the other "new" films (Halloween, Pirates, et al) isn't fair. Casino Royale is still about James Bond, an agent in MI6, trying to stop an international bad-ass while getting it on with a hottie. It's just a little less "fantastical".
Can't wait for this... by vinceklortho	Nov 6th, 2006 01:00:58 PM
looks serious, which is what I'm excited for. ALSO, there is supposed to be a Spidey 3 trailer attached to Bond and this Spidey trailer is going to premiere this Thursday. I'm surpised this site hasn't been going apeshit on that news.
WELL by THE KNIGHT	Nov 6th, 2006 01:02:29 PM
Glad to say i wasn't among the naysayers... I always felt he had a hard/rugged look that fit the character... Hopefully the women find him decent looking...
Spelling! (and Dench) by filmcoyote	Nov 6th, 2006 01:04:19 PM
incredibly stunts, boosting instead of boasting! I am ashamed at my lack of spell checking simply because I span this out too quickly at lunchtime. Still, can't cry over spilt milk. Dench is good by the way. I was worried about her still being in it but she has a great entrance and quickly dispels any concerns about her presence. Motta80
Daniel Craig is awesome. by El Scorcho	Nov 6th, 2006 01:33:24 PM
I've been with that casting from day one. Can't wait for next Friday.
Can't compare Bond to Halloween/Terminator by KanekoFan	Nov 6th, 2006 01:44:15 PM
Spandau Belly, your comparison is flawed. Michael Myers and The Terminator were both characters introduced in their original films. James Bond was a character from a series of novels, who was given a big-screen adaptation. As such, failing to fit into the mold set by those prior big-screen adaptations simply means having an alternate take on the source material, which was in an entirely different medium.
As far As i am aware by emeraldboy	Nov 6th, 2006 01:48:24 PM
The story set up in Casino Roayle is set to run for the next two movies. Roger Michell was all set to direct bond 22. But creative differances put paid to that. ie barbara Brocolli was her usual bitchy self and he walked. or maybe he heard on the wires about the cruise announcement and took a hike. who knows. IN ireland it has been announced that Casino Raoyale will recieve the highest rating for Bond film ever that is 15. Hearing how bloody I thought they would have gone for 16. that would have killed its chances at the box office.
a less barbaric Conan, perhaps? by Spandau Belly	Nov 6th, 2006 01:53:31 PM
I understand that new film makers can "re-interpret" previously adapted novels. But I think by now Bond as a film icon exists in his own right apart from Ian Flemming's novels. I also think that Bond is the longest running franchise for a reason: people like it. I like it. I know its stupid and silly, but I like it. I understand that "its still an espionage action film", but tone can make all the difference in the world. I also like Ronin and Bourne but wouldn't want sequels to those movies that resembled Goldfinger so why would I want a Bond that resembles those movies?
I do have a concern as someone who has seen by emeraldboy	Nov 6th, 2006 02:00:25 PM
All the bond films at this stage. My concern is that based on the success of this movie, if it is a success, this will embolden the producers to look at an overhaul of the Ian fleming book/movies and I think that will take them on to very dangerous ground. Dr No is considrered the best bond and one of the best action films ever made. So if the brocolli family say well Casino Royale did well why dont we re-do dr no and so on. I am all for re-boots if the stories are good. You can take the idea of the reboot to far. My concern is that they will do that. By the way get ready for the day when you will see the Cruise name on the bond franchise. from the next movie onwards..............
Spandau you've got a point by filmcoyote	Nov 6th, 2006 02:03:26 PM
But Casino Royale is still a fun, thrill ride, just a different type. The free running sequence alone is the best thing Bond has ever done. I love some of silliness - You Only Live Twice is my favourite and that's where the silliness all began - but i hated the recent ones, they took it too far - I'm thinking CG surfing, invisible cars and Christmas Jones (Denise Richards as a rocket scientist!) This just takes it back to the early Bonds, more like From Russia With Love. The grounded ones. Honestly go, watch the free running bit which is right a the start. If that hasn't sold you walk and get your money back. That sequence sold me. It's incredible (not incredibly!)

The first review by richier123	Nov 6th, 2006 02:33:30 PM
That first reviewer seems to be rather dumb. If Daniel Craig isn't "Bond", then this movie should be called something else. Bond is about being smooth, getting the ladies, and having sick ass gadgets. They could have reinvented Bond and kept those things in it. Instead, we now have a movie that is a cool spy movie, but should not have 'Bond" anywhere related to it.

Dr No? by Kaitain	Nov 6th, 2006 02:37:54 PM
"Dr No is considrered the best bond and one of the best action films ever made." Considered the best Bond by whom? Most polls I've seen have one of Goldfinger, Thunderball and OHMSS in the #1 slot.
I think the Galactica comparison is apt... by Childe Roland	Nov 6th, 2006 02:41:43 PM
...in that Bond as a franchise had long since crossed the line into self parody (see Galactica 1980). But, more importantly, I feel like all this "Craig's not Bond" talk should be followed closely by "yet." Craig's not SUPPOSED to be Bond yet. He's just slipping into the Double-Os. The question is, can you see in Craig the raw material for a Connery-esque super spy in future installments? I can. He's got the right combination of rugged, handsome, hard and cunning in his mannerisms and his delivery (going largely off of Layer Cake, here, as I haven't seen Casino yet) that leads me to believe he can play the sanctioned assassin with edge and attitude and, yes, even fun gadgets (but let's keep them semi-plausible, please) in future installments. This was a first step in the rebirthing of a cinematic legend and, from everything I'm hearing, it's a pretty solid foot forward for the franchise.
Connery said "bitch" in "Diamonds are Forever" by Zufall	Nov 6th, 2006 03:06:09 PM
Which was entirely unappropriate. He should have called her a "STUPID bitch."
Aqua Teen Link Doesnt work. by WolfmanNards	Nov 6th, 2006 03:27:16 PM

The fact of a franchise by KanekoFan	Nov 6th, 2006 03:46:14 PM
The fact that the cinematic version has become iconic doesn't mean that a new cinematic approach is in any was less valid. Especially since most of the Bond movies do suffer from that minor problem of being TERRIBLE MOVIES. From Russia With Love is a masterpiece, sure. Dr. No, Goldfinger, Thunderball, they are all very good. But since those four, the best most have achieved is either, "campy enough to overcome the stupidity," or "strong enough in a few isolated elements that it wasn't a totally regrettable experience." Remember those Timothy Dalton entries? Not great movies, but at least they benefitted from the strong isolated element of having a different take on the charcter of Bond. I am a fan of certain of the Bond movies, primarily those with Connery in them, but why should movies be made for the fans of earlier movies? The fans of earlier movies still have those movies. Someone has a new take on it? Good. Variety? I hear it's the spice of life. I want to see a good movie based on a good book with a great lead character, and the fact that the public has come, over the years, to associate that character with a shallow, insipid persona drained of any genuinely interesting traits and finally reduced to a ludicrous charicature shouldn't stand in the way of someone finally remembering, "Oh, yeah, we could actually make these movies GOOD, huh?" Oh, and the Godzilla franchise has been running since eight years before Dr. No was released.

I'm torn about the whole thing. by CreasyBear	Nov 6th, 2006 04:26:54 PM
The grittier, no winking-at-the-camera style for Casino Royale sounds great to me, but how can anyone disparage the hallmarks of the Bond dynasty, namely the gadgets, the ridiculous stunts, the one-liners, and the whole formulaic beauty of it all?

Who is disparaging the Bond hallmarks? by Forestal	Nov 6th, 2006 05:44:08 PM
Almost everything in a typical Bond movie is in Casino Royale. Bond becomes the "007" as we know him at the end of the film. We'll probably get Q, the gadgets, and Moneypenny in Bond 22...
cant wait for this movie by crawlspace	Nov 6th, 2006 05:48:39 PM
this film is going to fucking rock. lots of action..lots of hand to hand fights, more blood than hostel. machete fights in stairwells, drowning in sinks, headshots, multiple stabbings by bond, hiding bodies like in metal gear solid..huge chases, tanker explosions, parkour crane chases..( SPOILER!! bond shoots that guy in the head too just for spitting at him )..a love story, a card game, car chases, a good script, plus daniel craig is cool as fuck, the dude is fucking dark. a legend in the making. people who cant take this film should fuck off and go watch their aeon flux dvds or whatever. i cant wait to see this guy silence his critics. i saw him on us tv and he was both dangerous, cool and a nice guy - which is quite something to pull off. plus i need a fucking proper action film with some class. thank fuck for this movie.
Better Bond Begins than.... by Jimmy Jazz	Nov 6th, 2006 06:04:27 PM
Die Another Day part deux. That movie is second only to Moonraker as the absolute nadir of the franchise. And I am someone who thinks that Bond movies in most of their incarnations had their moments. But those two are ones that I can't even defend. I cannot WAIT for Casino Royale to come and cleanse the franchise of bad memories of CGI surfing, invisible cars and Skanky Berry.
I'm sorry... by Sidius	Nov 6th, 2006 06:11:30 PM
But did Harry Knowles just refer to Dame Judi Dench as baggage?? That statement alone should be good for an automatic no holds barred asskicking. It's more likely that the asstastic Bond scripts and not the world renowned stage actress are the baggage. You ever though of that Harry? Idiot.
incredibly stunts!! by Maniaq	Nov 6th, 2006 06:15:07 PM
I think it means "I wasn't expecting to see any but, incredibly, there were stunts!" =) Seriously tho, I told you guys all along that Craig was a great choice, that he could act, and he would shit on all the other Bonds, even giving Connery a run for his money! So what if he's blond? Connery was bald by the second film! A little disappointed tho to hear the Bourne comparisons. I remember others at the time foreseeing that one and I can't say I'm really happy about that. At least it's not 24... Peace
Sidius... by RodneyOz	Nov 6th, 2006 06:22:54 PM
...for crying out loud please READ stuff you're criticising. Merrick posted the article, Merrick is the one who made the 'M as baggage' comment. Not Harry. Why do people feel the need to slam HARRY for everything they disagree with on this site, even when he very obviously had nothing to do with it? Having said that, I don't see a problem with keeping Judi Dench, especially since I go for the "James Bond as the 007 name that gets passed on" explanation for the franchise. So yes, I actually agree with your substantive point.
the Mission: Impossible dilemma by Spandau Belly	Nov 6th, 2006 07:21:43 PM
My argument is that Bond is well established film franchise built on cheesey conventions that may or may not reflect Flemming's novels but are popular and anticpated for the staples of the series. Do all you people who want a serious espionage thriller deserve one? Sure! You got Munich, Ronin, Bourne, Spy Game, endless movies that show a gritty side of espionage. There are few franchises that do the silly espionage thing, and I'll be sad to see Bond turn into the Mission:Impossible franchise where we're expected to care about Cruise's new lady problem every outing. Did anybody else notice how part three avoided mention of his love interest who was still alive at the end of part 2? The M:I franchise is dead as will Bond be if they try to give some new personal story every outing. I love the cartoonish aspect of Bond and don't like how they're trying to trade on the history of a cheesy Bond and the promise of serious Bond that will alienate both audiences within one or two installments.
Fine, let it end by KanekoFan	Nov 6th, 2006 07:35:37 PM
I'll take one good movie, and the death of the franchise, over a continuing stream of gadgets and quips with no depth. And I have no interest in most of the movies you mentioned. There are distinct qualities to the Bond characters, and to the types of stories written about him, which set them apart from other spy thrillers, and which were the basis for the borderline-parody that the series became. And the problem with M:I 3 was that it was written and directed by a hack with no idea how to follow up the two prior movies effectively.
Bond by the Book by TheLeader	Nov 6th, 2006 07:49:03 PM
I'll be interested to see a review by someone who's actually read the books. In my view, 'Casino Royale' is an effort to bring Bond back to how Fleming originally intended (so far Dalton's been closest). No Comedy. No Gadgets (Q isn't even in the books). Even though Fleming's Bond had black hair, that rule's been violated before (Moore), and I'm not going to be so shallow as to hold that against this film or its star. I'm REALLY excited about this rebirth. It's Bond as he was originally meant to be, before it was perverted by Hollywood.
Can we please have a Bond movie... by AngelinasOilBoy	Nov 6th, 2006 08:05:46 PM
Which actually hangs together from beginning to end, like a proper movie? Since when did we start accepting that a cool first 20 minutes, a bit of a thrill in the middle, and some nifty shit towards the end is enough to suffice, and we'll just turn a blind eye to all the turgid, embarrassing, clunky banality and shit inbetween? The Bourne Supremacy is the best spy movie of the past six years (unless you're one of those "the camera is moving by itself" haters) and it works from beginning to end with no silly bits. I'll reserve final judgement until I see it - but I'm betting Casino Royale will be about as memorable as a not very memorable thing in a year's time. Why? Here's a hint:- the script WASN"T READY.
Bond vs IMF vs True Lie Vs Bourne by King Willy	Nov 6th, 2006 08:06:25 PM
How does Bond stack up to the present set of spy movies. The quality in spy movies have improved. People feel that True Lies is still the best spy film out there (when I mean spy film I’m talking about the fiction ones not like Munich). I loved True Lies and that is maybe where the Bond franchise will go, but then it could be too close to what Brosnan was made too do with too much humour. For the record Brosnan was o.k and I heard he was very unhappy with the direction the filmmakers took him man he was out staged by Michelle YeoH in TND and he basically looked like stupid old Brit man out of his depth while his sidekick did all the work. The Bourne franchise is the shit, but again its Bourne and we want to see Bond looking cool grinding girls and all that, but it’s the reality of the films that I like. Bond is not reality based, but it has to be believable. And now we have MI3. I watched that for the 1st time last night, and I thought how the hell can Bond beat this??
If the word across the pond is good... by Dasher	Nov 6th, 2006 08:27:46 PM
That is a very good sign. Brits take their Bond VERY seriously - he is an icon and a national treasure. If it's getting raves from hard-to-please UK audiences, chances are this is an excellent Bond film.
Agreed. M = Edward "The Equalizer" Woodward by Darth Fabulous	Nov 6th, 2006 09:47:49 PM
Would have kicked some major ass with Daniel Craig onscreen.
Thats too much wood!! by King Willy	Nov 6th, 2006 10:18:44 PM
I heard rumours that he was going to be M anyway and I think that would have been a great chioce. Like Batman begins they need to bring in good strong character actors to add more gravitas to the film. I don't like Dame reprosing her role more for continuity rather than what she brought to the screen. That said I originally liked the idea that she didn't like Bond, but then she fell for his charns which was cop out. Helen Mirram would be great if the needed a female M. Who will the pick for Q and MoneyPenny in the next films. Maybe they'd get some batty man for Money penny to update it.
What gives? by SithMenace	Nov 7th, 2006 12:50:21 AM
What's with all the hate for MI:3? I think it was an excellent movie, the only weak part was that Cruise was in it, because I can't stand that guy. It was definitely an improvement over MI:2, unless you want to see people flying in slow motion punching each other with doves in the background. MI:3 was the best movie this summer. Great action, lots of suspense, an excellent villain, solid story, great dialogue, cool gadgets and Maggie Q. Not to mention those great sequences at the Vatican, in Shanghai and on the bridge. I don't understand the hatred for this movie. Oh and Craig will rock as Bond.
Bond as a persona / code name ? by Dude_gimme_tabs	Nov 7th, 2006 04:11:37 AM
"....As a continuation of a franchise our interpretation is that Bond's a persona that different people step into...." Erm NO !!! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO ! Fucking pack this shit in once and for all. It is not a code name, it is not a persona, it is not an alias given to different agents. He is one person, always has been and always will be. Anyone who assumes this or suggests this is a fuckwit and a knob jockey to boot.
I had a feeling that this by bcom77	Nov 7th, 2006 06:01:55 AM
I had a feeling that this movie would be great. I read the book when I first heard the anouncement amd thought that Daniel Craig was a great choice for this kind of Bond. It was really unfair of all the press and supposed hardcore Bond fans to outright rubbish him without seeing the film first and/or reading the book. If I was him, I'd hold a press confrence just to give everyone a big 'F**k you all' flip of the bird. This REALLY is James Bond now.

I'm not a Bond Fan... by tucson	Nov 7th, 2006 09:17:02 AM
...and this is the FIRST time I've wanted to see a Bond film! I equate the franchise to Harlequin Romances for women, just changing the names and locales and pretty much having the same plots, toys, lame jokes otherwise. They're so caricaturish that I consider Austin Powers to be in the same vein, not necessarily a parody. (I will admit that I have one Bond film, and THAT'S because the villain is hot.)
blah blah blah by yeah i'm a jerk!	Nov 7th, 2006 09:51:22 AM
this movie may or may not be good, but i won't know until i see it on HBO. the same way i saw catwoman, and constantine. this dude does not look the part. and it is stupid to have judi dench playing M in a prequel.
not convinced by Lost Prophet	Nov 7th, 2006 10:58:50 AM
but hoping for the best. Anything to purge my memory of the brosnan era. I wish they hadn't tried to appease the "WAAH Craig is not bond" lobby by making James Bond a codename, though.
re: not convinced by TheLeader	Nov 7th, 2006 12:38:46 PM
They didn't make James Bond a codename you gullible ass. Unless you're talking about the Peter Sellers "Casino Royale," which genuinely sucked.
My friend saw this film at preview screening yesterday by Bazka Berzerker	Nov 7th, 2006 09:21:01 PM
He's a big Bond fan and he said that this is the best Bond film ever. I don't always agree with him, but he's pretty smart about this stuff. He liked the fact that the film was raw and real, and yet gave compliments and homages to the traditions of the series. Action scenes kicked ass. Craig was one badass motherfucker. The girl was the best Bond girl ever. The villain was realistic and cool. That's his review in a nutshell. Sounds good to me.
