Actually, that's incorrect. Vesper wasn't implanted as a mole, she was a British agent who went double because the enemy was torturing her boyfriend. She hated it.

I didn't quite catch all that was written on the 'Mr.White' text message at the end.....Did Vesper send him that from the grave or how did Bond get that message when he did?

loved this movie

11/25/2006 1:13:32 AM

saw it tonight.

bad ass.

11/25/2006 1:25:05 AM

when vesper came out during the poker game, boobs were like whoa.

11/25/2006 7:49:18 AM

saw it last night, easily the best Bond since Connery.

More realistic, more vulnerable Bond character.

The villain, while still a little over the top had much more realistic goals of making money by shorting stocks and then lowering said stock value by terrorist action, much like the real life story of 9/11, as far as stocks go anyway.

Very good movie. Can't wait for the next in series.

And no I didn't read the book and no I won't read the book. Why would I want to ruin a perfectly good movie?

i have a bond nut friend back home that said this is possibly the best one ever

11/25/2006 5:06:45 PM

^^ i just called the whambulance

11/25/2006 7:28:47 PM

I like my Bond as an actuall spy, sneaking around and killing people more covertly than past movies.
I don't like bond getting flustered or angry so easily.
Nice to have him be cold and ruthless at times, but he still needs to be smooth while doing it.

Whole movie should have had Bond like in the opening black and white scene and the very last final closing scene: calm, cool, collected, but still covert and cold and ruthless spy.

11/25/2006 7:32:39 PM

^only smart person in this thread

11/25/2006 11:34:09 PM

you do understand that they're trying to make money off of these movies.

11/26/2006 12:21:16 AM

i loved the black and white sequence at the beginning

the film in the fighting part was kinda scratchy and cool-looking

he's a new 00, he's not a perfectly cool and calm gangsta spy yet

11/26/2006 2:30:42 AM

This movie was great and all, but best since Connery?

Come on, I liked Connery but IMHO I liked Roger Moore the best with his smartass attidude.

Connery, Moore, and it appears Craig=Good Bonds. Brosnan, Dalton=Terrible bonds.

11/27/2006 2:13:17 PM

I finally saw this movie on Thanksgiving day. Holy crap, phenominal! I loved this movie.

Damn, damn good!

11/27/2006 2:38:10 PM

Fantastic movie. I want more and I want them now. I loved seeing a Bond that's still a little behind the learning curve. Just fantastic.

agree with most people here - excellent movie. not just a good Bond movie, but good movie overall.
I've actually only seen at most 2 or 3 of the previous movies - i think 2 of the Brosnon ones, then bits and pieces of earlier ones. Having had no real background in Bond, when i saw the Brosnon ones, I thought they were insanely stupid. The acting was bad, the girls were terrible, the gadgets were just so insanely over-the-top unrealistic, and worst of all, Bond appeared to exist outside of physics - he seemed unharmable, doing everything while his tux never wrinkled and his hair remained perfect.

this one, though, really got me fired up. It showed Bond almost as a "real man". Albiet strong as hell and crazy-powerful, but at least not impervious to harm. I mean, how many other bond movies has he wound up in a wheelchair after being repeatdly bashed in the nuts? The chase scene at the beginning was outstanding, the girl, in addition to being a beauty, did a bang-up acting job, there was an overall good mix of action and drama, and best of all there were no huge "give me a break, this is ri-god-damned-diculous" moments as far as escaping death or special gadgets or weapons, like in the others I've seen.

i actually said this multiple times throughout this movie

[Edited on November 27, 2006 at 4:39 PM. Reason : he ran through a fucking wall for crying out loud ]

11/27/2006 4:38:30 PM

I loved the free running-esque 2nd scene.

Very good movie and am very glad to see that the series got away from cheesy one-liners, gadgets and the like (everything you can find in Austin Powers). That being said, I did miss the Bond-Money Penney conversations.

I also liked M playing a bigger role.

Overall a great movie to see, and I'd say one of the best Bond movies made (having seen every Bond movie made). While Sean Connery is still the standard to which other Bonds are measured, I was never thrilled over the storylines in his Bond movies (this might be an age gap). The believability of Casino is what really attracts me to this movie, and other than purchasing boxed sets for my Dad at Xmas, will probably be my first Bond DVD buy.

11/27/2006 4:47:38 PM

its not like it was a finished wall, it was a construction site

I wouldn't go that far. Brosnan held his own as Bond, it's just that he was given shitty material to work with in the three previous films.

I appreciate this type of Bond as well. Chasing after Prince of Persia and the whole jumbo jet subplot would have ruined a real spy (especially since he got caught on film in the former and just plain caught in the latter, for crying out loud!), but I guess you have to throw a bone to the audience of Joe Q. Average and give them some mindless action. It didn't ruin the movie for me, anyway. What I was more worried about was pointless and beyond-suspension-of-disbelief type stuff, such as hotels sculpted from ice or CEO's who start international wars in order to acquire broadcasting rights. I can agree that the Bond/Vesper romance was rushed, but overall the story this time around was much more believable.

Did you honestly expect him to swing through the opening like the other dude? Besides, it looked like somewhat thin drywall to me. We're not talking about him running through cemented blocks.

[Edited on November 27, 2006 at 4:57 PM. Reason : blah]

11/27/2006 4:53:33 PM

Watched this movie for the second time, still as good as the first time I had seen it. I had serious doubts on Daniel Craig playing Bond, I thought he played it well.

11/27/2006 4:57:45 PM

If you like Parkour then there is a movie called District B13 that you would really like. The other co-creator of Parkour, that free running and bouncing off the walls stuff, is the star. It's got a very "Escape From New York" feel to it, and the stunts are pretty amazing. My guess is that they saw that movie and hired David Belle and Foucan (the black guy from Bond) to do some stuff in Casino Royale that no one had ever seen before.

If you get a chance, watch District B13. It's not bad.

"he ran through a fucking wall for crying out loud"

yeah, it was a single sheet of drywall..... big deal. Not saying that I could do it, or that it would even be easy for a large man, but i'm more than willing to give him enough leeway to make that believable, certainly moreso than breaking the laws of physics by, for example, sky diving to catch up to other free-falling objects.

You could make the argument that "why was there an unsupported single sheets of drywall standing around. they should have 2x4 studs on 16" centers with a reinforced header underneath the window at the top", but that would be going too far.

and if you have doubts about the first chase scene being the most unrealistic part of the movie, then just watch some of these dudes (the actor who was being chased has a background like this)

11/27/2006 5:18:26 PM

^seriously, the inivisible car from the last bond made me go WTF, he was running through an unfinished wall, not big of deal

not to mention that it was 10 minutes of parkour

11/27/2006 5:37:42 PM

jesus, charlie is trying far too hard to diss this movie.


it's obviously kind of stretching it and lame for you have to attack a scene in a bond movie for being unrealistic.

just give it up

its not a question of could

its a question of would

11/27/2006 9:33:41 PM

i'm pretty sure i could run throw a sheet of dry wall too

in fact, i think it sounds like something that would be pretty fun

11/27/2006 9:35:00 PM

He ran through dry wall. Dry wall is not that strong and breaks rather easily. I don't doubt that someone could run through it. I probably could.

11/27/2006 9:43:32 PM

so



how much does a sheet of drywall cost?

11/27/2006 9:52:55 PM

not that much

from what i've heard, you can get the scraps or the ones that are kinda already fucked up that they cant sell for REALLY cheap

11/27/2006 9:54:36 PM

She knew that if something were to happen to her, James would check her phone. She left that message for Bond way in advance.
