The fantasy is dead - Casino Royale Reviews

This was one dreary experience for a long time James Bond fan. The slow pace of the between action sequences were particulary tedious. I guess we were supposed to get into the psyche of one James Bond. The Bond girls were a disappointment too. How do you explain that James is having his you-know-what bashed to death and then a little while later is making out with the girl he's going to throw it all away for? The World Series of Poker is more entertaining than the hold em chapter. This was a Bond stripped of any toys, fun, or sense of humor. I knew the critic reviews were bogus. This Bond was one not to die for. Connery was the best, Moore brought some humor, and Brosnan offered style. D Craig offers little more than some quizzical looks at his leading lady. Since when does James Bond not get a read on his leading lady? I won't be buying the DVD which is a true measure of the quality, or lack thereof.
