Casino Royale - New Bond, New Girl, New Villain

Honestly when I first saw Mr. Craig's countenance, I couldn't see Bond at all. He didn't have that handsomeness as Brosnan or even Connery, but as the film progressed, I soon grew to like him, much like Christian Bale is to Batman. I found Brosnan more suave, but a bit too arrogant at times, but I can take Craig just as serious as the better Bonds.

Totally agree, non clicé, great character development no car chases, everything very down to earth but serious, action was intense but not over the top. Daniel Craig did an excellent job, and there were someone liners but they were clever! not the corny ones from the prior films. Only thing I didnt like was how they sped up the ending.

Greykin - You and me both, and the finale that was awesome!

Spoiler:

Anyone notice Richard Branson at the airport LOL

Spoiler regarding car chases

Spoiler:

Okay there was one, but he was on foot and the bad guy was in the petrol tanker.
Lol I loved how the plane took out the cop car, and can you really jump out of moving vechiles like that looked really painful. How many people laughed at the bad guys death :lolsign:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They must work on a new bond asap, I cant wait 2 or 3 years like the Bourne movies :aargh:

Most amazing jew boots

The movie fucking rocks. Best Bond since the last good Bond movie. I can't think of a good Bond movie off the top of my head, so let's just leave it at good.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
