Casino Royale - Movie Review


CASINO ROYALE - MOVIE REVIEW

HE SAID:

Another bond movie in the long illustrious line of bond movies. I can never countenance anyone as James Bond except Sean Connery and then maybe Pierce Brosnan. Daniel Craig as the new James Bond is extremely disappointing. His movements are jerky and robotic. He lacks any expression whatsoever.

Eva Green as the requisite bond woman is sexy with pouty lips and thick eyelashes. Mads Mikkelsen as the bond villain is comic and one-dimensional.

However, the usual slick bond action is present along with the requisite fast cars. What is obviously missing is the high tech gadgets and Q. Dame Judi Dench as M is perfect.

Overall, worth a look.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 5.

SHE SAID:

A unnecessarily long movie. It is a bit dull. I am pre-disposed to hating Daniel Craig. I have always felt that James Bond movies demean women and I see the same trend continuing in this movie as well.

I would not give this movie even a look.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 3.
