Re: Casino Royale...the new Bond
Like your wife falling asleep is the most reliable indicator of a movie's quality. It's subjective, and you and your wife might not like the movie, but that's hardly everyone's opinion. Who knows? You might like it a lot better if you ever see it again (or not).
I've fallen asleep in movies that I love. Sometimes, I'm just not into that movie at that particular time. Movies are not an objective piece of entertainment as the viewer always brings along some baggage, mostly their temperament, expectations, etc.
Though the Bond movies that I fell asleep at after Goldeneye really deserved it (IMHO) since they were so ridiculous and unbelievable. For me, the true indicator of quality entertainment comes from deciding whether I'm looking forward to adding the movie to my own personal collection. I could only say that about Goldeneye, and now this movie. Everything in between, I just couldn't say that, and I really did prefer this movie to even Goldeneye.
And Superstar's right, there was quite a bit of action strewn throughout the movie. However, it's not the action that makes the movie great, it's the stuff in between, primarily scenes like the poker tournament, the way Bond interacts with M, etc. I loved the action throughout the movie though, and you're right about the chase scene, that was a lot of fun. Only thing is, I never stopped having fun watching this movie.
Okay, I'm gettin' beat up here, lol.
for action fans
What action? The opening scene was tremendous. I've never seen such ingenuity, best chase (foot pursuit) I've ever seen, bar none. I was wondering how many takes they had to do to get all that right (and how many stunt men were killed, lol). There was the tanker thing and then nothing until the very end, nada.
My wife usually only falls asleep when I'm trying to get affectionate with her, so explain her falling asleep?
