Casino Royale

Rating: 3/10 (27 December 2006)

Just seen this poor attempt at re-working what is deemed as the poorest Bond movie. And i have to say although its more a love story than a bond movie. It has to be the worst bond movie i have ever seen. For reference the likes of Live And Let Die, probably in my opinion being one of the best. Its one advert after another, seems everyone has a certain type of phone and drive around on Henry's finest although these days seemingly not the colour black. No Q to explain the gadgets in bonds Aston, which appears for no apparent reason. Dame Judy Dench has never quite got into the her role as M i don't think, and this performance is just as lack luster. Daniel Craig i think "might" eventually be a reasonably Bond, but he will have to work much harder and be blessed with a decent screen play before he does. Overall, too much hype too many blatant adverts, not enough "bondish almost childish" fooling around which makes bond, bond. It one for the DVD collection - only to say you have the full set on the shelf. Andy.
