These critics are idiots..... - Casino Royale Reviews

For those of you who enjoyed the movie, I can agree that there were some great action sequences and the first chase scene is phenominal. This movie could have been extremely enjoyable but .... to the misfortune of EON and Daniel Craig, this movie belongs to a long list of exciting, familiar, and classic movies that fall under the famous James Bond Banner. With that said, we have to judge this movie by the same key ingredients that we love, look forward to, and get excited by when watching a Bond movie. See, it's true that every Bond movie is different, but they all share the familiar attributes, which if neglected, would throw the movie "off" and force it out of place in the famous movie series. Without further due, the following is a list of obvious and extremely blasphemous characteristics of Casino Royale, even if it was supposed to be a prequel. 1) NO THEME MUSIC DURING THE FAMOUS INTRODUCTORY "GUN BARREL" SCENE. Yes, it's true ladies and gentlemen, the famous Monty Norman piece is omitted and replaced with a retarded soft rock song. This left me uneasy and irritated throughout the whole movie, since the "gun barrel" sequence is the initial excietment generator when beginning to watch any Bond film. 2) DANIEL CRAIG? What happened to the smooth chauvinistic, arrogant, and handsome bond? Daniel Craig's acting is alright, but he is so out of sorts when compared to the rest of the Bonds. He looks more like a Manchester United hooligan or the son of an Irish potato farmer. The short, balding, blonde Craig fits the typical American desire of "stronger, faster, and new and improved", that the commercial industries love to attach to retail products. Unfortunately, for true Bond fans, he's nowhere near new and improved. 3) IS THAT A FORD FOCUS? James Bond is spotted driving a Ford in this movie. Look, I don't care if it was a rental car, Bond in a Ford is like Michael Jordan wearing New Balance sneakers. You will never spot it. 4) WHERE IS Q OR Q's REPLACEMENT? No Q, means no gadgets. Enough said. 5) BOND THE LOVERBOY. It's true that Bond was once married, but why do you think his bride was killed of so quickly? In the same movie even? Because this is a horrible turn-off that'll limpen any Bond hard-on. Bond doesn't fall in love. Females are disposable items to him that he usually uses to get closer to his enemies. Casino Royale portrays Bond as a romantic comedian loverboy who will risk his life to chase after an untrustworthy broad. He also seems "whipped" as he debates his resignation for the sake of marrying this shrew and is seen crying out of love for her. Even after she betrays him, he tries to save her life.
