I have not left a cinema with a big shit eating smile on my face for a long time!

what a genius reinvention

i also would say as a close second the wind that shakes the barley"

those bloody english!

I thought it was okay, but that's all. Craig was as stone-faced and boring as I expected him to be (besides he's too much of a clean-cut tough guy, Clive Owen would have been a better choice), the lack of cartoonishness was welcomed by some but I feel that it is a big part of what makes the Bond movies what they are, the pre-opening credit sequence was the lamest so far, the pacing was off some times, the poker sequence a big yawn, and I didn't get any strong feeling that this was early in his career. They could have done more with that, maybe made him more vulnerable, I don't know.

I loved the parkour sequence though, I thought Mikkelsen was a good villain, the snappy dialogue on the train was quintessential Bond, the poisoning sequence was great, and there were a few other good scenes and moments scattered throughout.

I agree. The film was amazing but that opening scene was fucking pants.

the ending was the best

Eva Green was the best.

the girl that ended up dead in the hammock was hotter than her.

I thought CR was a great film. I saw it twice More enjoyable the second time.
I didn't mind the opening sequence, especially as they used the gun-barrel shot in conjunction with the story.
And the ending line had me walking out with a big smile too.

no way!

It's cause Eva's english.
Hammock-dead-girl had a horrible chin!

Spookymuffin said:

eva's eyebrows are too close to the tops of her eyes, it makes her look odd

evenstar3 said:

It makes her look like she's frowning and I want to fuck that frown off her face.

alright, she does look pretty hot there

nngnngrn!

CR is a fantastic reboot of the Bond franchise and is EXACTLY what the series needed.

Though I think the best film I've seen all year--hands down--is "Shortbus."

I found her way better looking during the scene in the bathroom, when she had no make-up on.

Casino Royale was good, I think The Departed was stronger tho.
