8/10 without the opening credits sequence

Rating: 2/10 (31 October 2012)

Well I finally got around to sitting down and watching Casino Royale. It seems the critics were right. Daniel Craig acted superbly, the opening scenes in B&W were magnificent. The parkour chase at the start was beautifully executed and really the storyline was classic Bond. The whole film, minus the few minutes of opening credits sequence were all very good.
Unfortunately that opening credits sequence was horribly horrendous, the music, the cheesy as hell flash animation, the music, the cheesy and disgusting animation, the music... the crappy animation... the way Daniel Craig faded into the scene where his cheap, jagged black animated silhouette once was while the singer of that terrible song continuously shouts "you know my name!" over and over...oh god.
2/10 but 8/10 without that opening sequence.
