Casino Royale

[Tornado]

Saw this today, very very good Bond film, best since Goldeneye.
Danile Craig did a fantastic job as Bond.

Thoughts?

[Boondock Saint]

Can't waitttttttttttttttt.

[ct2k]

Gotta say for the first time since Goldeneye I'm looking forward to a Bond film.

Also Daniel Craig is from my hometown:D

[ct2k]

Not that you'd know from his shockingly proper accent:rant::love:

[DrA]

I am hoping this movie has a load of intense poker playing action, to be honest with you.

[ClockShot]

I'd see it if Pierce Brosnan was playing Bond. As he should be.

[Buzzkill]

BOND SLOW PLAYS THE ACES, LE CHIFFRE IS RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS HIM.

[Blitz]

lol Buzzkill.

But yeah, looks pretty hot.

[Champion of Europa]

This is seriously one of the best action movies this year, and I'm not even a Bond fan. The dialogue in some parts is hilarious and awesome shit. And Bond has such a kick ass attitude.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I've only heard good things about this movie. Hopefully it re-launches Bond to that level of respectability it once had.

[mitchables]

It's released on the 7th of December here, I can't wait. It should be excellent.

[yianni]

I agree Mitchell, I'm looking forward to watching it as well.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I've got tickets booked for tomorrow night. Really hyped. Let you all know what I think :y:

[Nervous Ferret]

We're here with Don Everest known to the poker world as "The Matador" for his ability to lure the young bulls into the ring and cut them down.

I loved Tilt.

[Nervous Ferret]

Quite frankly they played that commercial so much it will be etched in my mind forever. I remember watching it and enjoying it, but I never really got "into" it or anything.

[Blitz]

Pretty good movie. My knowledge of Bond is limited entirely to Pierce Brosnan, but Daniel Craig was very good.

Bond: Vodka Martini.
Bartender: Shaken or stirred?
Bond: Do I look like I give a damn?

:love:

:lol:

My favorite part was when he busted Phil Helmuth. Honestly, looking back, Don Everest was the cheesiest poker player ever.

[dablackguy]

I was extremely skeptical regard Craig before the movie. I won't say he made a believer out of me, but he played his role well. He is an excellent Bond as the young and reckless character. However, I can't really see him being the older, mature, more laid back Bond. So as far as that goes, I think he's going to have a limited life as Bond.

I'm a little offended at all these people calling him the best Bond, which is true only if you know nothing about Bond. Connery was the best Bond and in my opinion is followed by Brosnan who will be known as the first modern Bond. I think Craig's niche with the bond character will be portraying him in a much more athletic and action packed capacity.

[D Mac]

Timothy Dalton was the best Bond. :shifty:

[Boondock Saint]

Good stuff. Not perfect but the best since Goldeneye, certainly. Craig was good. More brutal.

[YOUR Hero]

It looks better than any of the other Bond movies that have been released in quite awhile.

[ct2k]

I still can't understand why so many people were so hostile to both Daniel Craig and making Casino Royale again bearing in mind Die Another Day was TERRIBLE and the original Casino Royale was a SPOOF starring David Niven and PETER SELLERS...Legendary as both may be:D

[D Mac]

Die Another Day wasn't that bad.

[Boondock Saint]

Die Another Day was bad. Invisible car? Surfing?

[Fignuts]

Die another day was bad if you took it too seriously. You can enjoy it more if you take it for what it is. And it was still better than The world id not enough.

But holy shit, this was a good bond movie. Why is everyone restricting praise by only comparing it with the last few movies. IMO, this is one of the best bond films of ALL TIME. Only thing that holds it back is the pacing loses its flow towards the end, and the plot gets a little messy.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This was a fucking great film. Craig did a fantastic job.

Torture scene was painful to watch</font> :o

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I saw this last night, and thought it was excellent. A really enjoyable movie.

But it was the 1st Bond movie I've ever seen.

So I was hoping to get the opinions of people on what was the best Bond to date?

My personal favorite is The Spy who loved me

Pretty much the general consensus is that Goldfinger is the best ever though.

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

I saw this movie last night, and I was very impressed. I would probably say it's one of the best movies I've seen in the last couple years.

[Boondock Saint]

My personal favorite Bonds are From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Thunderball, For Your Eyes Only, The Living Daylights, and Goldeneye.

[ClockShot]

Dr. No, You only Live Twice, Goldeneye, Goldfinger, Thunderball, Diamonds are Forever, The Man with the Golden Gun.

[Stickman]

Bond movies are over rated and over hyped but this was one of the better ones.

[The Greater Power]

I didn't mind it, but at 2.5 hours, it probably could have been a bit shorter

I am def the only person in the world that likes License to kill

It's so much better then Live and Let Die

[Fignuts]

the man with th golden gun needs to be higher.

[D Mac]

K my download is started.

[D Mac]

What? Is there really no intro where Bond walks in front of the barrell of the gun and shoots like in ALL the other movies? :?: Thats the trademark of Bond!

[Stickman]

Are you sure about that?

[Blitz]

Yes there is :wtf:

[D Mac]

Huh, Not in the one I downloaded. I'm going to see it anyway at the theatre. I guess I have a fucked up one.

[Savio]

Casino Royale > The World is not enough > Die another day

[RoXer]

The intro isn't the same as it always is, it's sort of set up. Good movie though. Kinda long but, meh.

Also :love: @ Chris Cornell doing the song.

[wwe2222]

I was skeptical on Craig at first and going into the movie I was worried I would feel like I wasnt watching james bond movie.

However I was not let down and I really enjoyed the film. I thought Craig was fantastic as a young Bond and really added some much needed balls to the character.(I love Pierce Brosnan, but I havent cared for the way the character was written in the movies since Goldeneye)

Still hard to watch Bond with blonde hair though, that really gets to me.

[Innovator]

Solid Bond movie, definitely made up for the tragedy that was Die Another Day.

[Stickman]

I can't believe it's such a big deal about having a blonde bond. Fuck! That is all.

[wwe2222]

I can't believe it's such a big deal about having a blonde bond. Fuck! That is all.

its just about character continuity with me...I want to feel like im looking at James Bond. It didnt kill the movie for me, I just said I had to get used to it

[ClockShot]

I got dragged to this flim a couple days ago. I was skeptical about seeing this cause it's not "Bond". Dark hair, Benson & Hedges smoker, etc. Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" was awesome.

[Requiem]

One of the best Bond movies yet. Craig was awesome as Bond, and I loved every bit of the movie. Some friend of mine kept saying "Worst Bond movie ever.. blah blah.. it was so boring." and then went on to exaggerate everything in it, saying the first half was a card game, and the second half was planning a float trip.

He then went on to say he had never seen most of the original Bond movies, so I ignored everything he said about this one and went into it with high hopes. Watched it.. loved it!
