Not Casino Royale

Rating: 2/10 (17 October 2008)

First again! Just saw QoS, and everything that Casino Royale was, this isn't.
With no Fleming story to follow, this film flounders. Can non-stop action get annoying? It certainly annoyed this reviewer.
I enjoyed maybe two scenes, and these were with Craig and Giancarlo Giannini. Softly played and touching. However, I must say that Mathieu Amalric was a formidable presence as Dominic Greene.
The titles were no where as good as CR.
I felt nothing during this film....except maybe let down...as let down as I felt when I saw Licence to Kill after the splendid The Living Daylights.
Without Fleming as a guide, the James Bond films are lost.
More when I feel like it.
