Female action fan - Casino Royale Reviews

I love action movies and this one was exceptional. I prefer it when the action sequences look somewhat plausible, as they did, for the most part, in this one. They seemed more plausible than the stunts in far too many action flicks of late, like the MI series. The story is good, but I would've preferred more poker scenes and less poke her ones. But I recognize the guys who love Bond want the babes. You didn't get much, but we did get some, yeah baby. I for one was glad that the silly names for the women was dispensed with, except for Bond's one feeble attempt to call her Broadchester in the cab--hey, enough of that! :D No one in the audience I saw it with got that but for me. I think that was because too much of the dialogue was poorly enunciated throughout the movie. I especially like that the writers didn't treat us like idiots who have to have everything spelled out, but actors, talk clearly already. Please? Too many movie actors nowadays try to talk like "real folk" but the problem is real folk can't talk. What Craig brought to the role was charisma and a wry smile when he has pulled off a coup over the bad guy. Craig is subtle, and not such a manicured pretty boy like some Bonds, save one. But there really is only one true Bond--Connery, Sean Connery. But Craig is a heart-throbbing second. Really, not a bad place to be, considering the Connery legacy he has to stare down. I think he did it well.
