Top ten line from one of the AWESOMEST movies I’ve seen in a while. OK, that’s just the excitement talking, but it was a pretty darn good movie for it’s archetype. That line was hilarious too, nicely timed touch of pure comedy thrown in for just the moment.
Casino Royale – I’m flushed from seeing it straight through! (ha ha ha)
Casino Royale – the un-luckiest Bond movie yet. Seriously, both of the… wait, that’s spoilers. But it is serious: they did go back to the gritty, more realistic beginning, a’la Batman Begins as a friend put it. The new Bond definitely has the grit, the writing is pretty tight, the stunts are great, and it’s all pretty darn realistic compared to the average Bond film.
Definitely worth seeing as a big action flick, and for the new James Bond that it (hopefully) will become. It’s interesting to see all the Bond stereotypes that it specifically broke, as well as all the scenes they paid homage to from past movies, including some gender swaps. And while the stunts and big action were much more realistic and human-scale than recent Bonds, they definitely came up with some new and creative and completely wild things to do, like sinking things. It’s what he sinks that’s interesting.
