    Re: Casino Royale...the new Bond

    I'll echo the sentiments of the choir here...


    I've seen it two times, and I rarely do that with any movie. I thought this movie absolutely ruled my a$$. I did have to see it twice to fully understand the plot (I guess I am slow), but after the second time seeing it, I definitely think it's even better.

    Daniel Craig is uber badass in this movie; just a total Steve if I've ever seen one. Like everybody else, I really liked how they used more simplistic weaponry and gadgets. It made things more believable. Of course, it's quite a leap to have the viewer believe this took place before the other Bond films, and have crazy laptops and LCD's in the film..

    The scene where Le Chiffre's girlfriend poisons Bond's drink really freaks me out for some reason. The way they shot this part with the woozy camera effect and frenetic Bond panting made my own heart rate increase. Probably because one of my big fears in life is experiencing that kind of heart rate. That got to me.

    The torture scene was pretty insane as well. I was definitely squinting throughout that.

    Oh yeah, the first chick that Bond banged, the wife of the greasy looking Euro dude, wow, absolutely smoking hot... Vesper was also hot I thought. Great melons on her.

      maybe true if the viewer isn't aware that it this movie does not take place before Dr. No, or any of the other bond movies. It starts a new timeline and everything.

        Yep this is a rare combination of reboot and reimagining of a creative property. They rebooted quite a few things but it wasn't a total reboot or else the 20 other Bond films would be irrelevent hence the whole reimagining of the character.

        It was handled quite well I think.

            After going through most of the Bond movies since I saw Casino Royale in the theatre, I can safely say I'm pumped to see it again - its definitely one of my top 3 James Bond movies.

                I'll be picking it up sometime later in the week.

                One of the best movies I've seen recently.

                    I'm watching Casino Royale today.

                    Based on all the positive reviews and viewer feedback, I have high expectations.

                      This movie was just so damn awesome. One of the best movies I've seen in a LONG time. Can't wait for our DVD to come in.

                        This movie is brilliant. I never thought James Bond could be this good.

                        I would say it's the best action movie since Die Hard....might even be better.

                          Picking up the blu ray tomorrow!!

                          Makes me so happy to see all the positive feedback on this board about the movie, assuming most aren't diehard Bond fans like myself. Just shows how well done the 007 transformation was pulled off, to paraphrase what SPTO said.

                            I was reading that this is the best Bond since the Sean Connery bonds.

                              I would agree.
