Goodbye Bond
Sadly, I fail to agree with the rave reviews given to this film. By taking away everything that made a Bond film unique, we are left with your run-of-the-mill action flick, save for one or two original twists. If I want to watch a gritty action film, I'll watch The Bourne Supermacy or something of that ilk; I don't want to watch Bond without gadgets, Bond without quips, Bond without a sense of fun. Casino Royale is no fun. It's deadly serious. Daniel Craig is a good 007 and there are some witty dialogue exchanges between Bond and Vesper. But moments like this are fleeting. For the rest of the time you could be watching any other action film. Not impressed, and I hope the producers realise that Bond is best when it is DIFFERENT from other action films, not the same.
