DVD Review: Casino Royale

Posted on Sunday, 8 April 2007 by Speed, source: Fragland
While Children of Men was a bit of a disappointment to me, Casino Royale certainly wasn't. Watch out Sean Connery because if Daniel Craig manages to keep up the work like in this latest Bond movie, he might even surpass you as "best Bond ever"!

You don't really mean it Speed?

Come on, Daniel Craig has little if any class, and that's what makes up a James Bond. He can't act well either. The only thing he has going for him is his physique, and imo he was a bad choice for Bond.

The way he acts, walks, etc, It's so apparently fake. His acting is completely see-through.

Oh and he could NEVER surpass Sean Connery. Even if you're better it's still hard to do because classics are engraved well into people's memories. Besides, he doesn't even come close :)

actually, if you look at it, Pierce Brosnan was a bit like Roger Moore but the franchise turned too much into slapstick (remember the tank on the Red Square?)

Craig is much more like Sean Connery and in my opinion he did a terrific job bringing Bond back to the style it started with

Hmm, I just don't like Daniel Craig. Maybe because he was the first (I think) James Bond who was blond :P

You have a point, but imo you gave the wrong example :) That tank chase across Moscow was one of the most amusing ones yet (and GoldenEye remains one of the best Bond movies to date). Things started taking a turn for the worst with Tomorrow Never Dies.

It would have been better to take some scenes from Die Another Day as an example (the rocket plane chased by a satellite laser? fighting aboard a damaged jet above the Korean DMZ? a sleeping mask?).

I didn't say it wasn't amusing, I said it was slapstick and as far as that goes, the Tank was total slapstick

Sorry, but speed's is right on this one! Craig is a good actor, and this is the best bond film of recent years.

Craig is indeed the best Bond actor since Sean Connery.
