The music is wrong! And Eva Green?

Rating: 7/10 (20 November 2006)

The new blonde bond is refreshing. The edginess that Daniel Craig brings to Bond meshes nicely with Sean Connery's Bond. The filming locations are spot on! Mads Mikkelsen is the perfect villain for this Bond. Unfortunately, the music and graphics for the opening credits were WRONG! Where are the silhouetted babes? Why wasn't a female singer picked to sing the title song? Perhaps Wilson, Campbell, and Cornell are too politically correct to make a proper Bond flick. I grew up on Bond films  wondering which female performer was going to sing the title song  and who the new bond girl would be. They blew it this time, and I am very disappointed that they either haven't done their homework, or are afraid to step out of bounds. Too bad! For all the hype about the new music for Casino Royale it falls far too short of the mark. I'm not sold on Eva Green, either. She seems a bit mousey, and forced.
