I’m 2 years late in watching this movie (which is only important for a big budget production) but I’ll give you my 2 cents worth of comments on the film:
- I was one of the huge skeptics who lambasted the choice of Daniel Craig as being a dumb choice – I was wrong! I think he did a great job
- Casino Royale did extremely well in the box office; grossing $593 million worldwide, it became the highest grossing James Bond film. But it isn’t Golden Eye and it isn’t that good.
- Even with my new found admiration for Craig, Peirce Brosnan will always be my fav bond. Not Moore, not Dalton & not Connery.
- The running chase scene towards the beginning of the movie, is probably the best that I have ever seen.
- There are two very hot Bond girls but Caterina Murino is a fox!
- However I don’t think that Craig will be as successful in other ventures like Brosnan or Connery did.
- I think I would rank it among the top 5 Bond Films so far!
I liked it too, especially the DB9. However, my favourite Bond of all time is Sean Connery. I love him!
Ah the Scottish bias coming out! ;) No I can tell why most people would like him but as good as he is, I just always thought of him as one-dimensional.
