Just watched Casino Royale


CASINO ROYALE
I thought this movie was just plain Awesome! I've never been a die-hard Bond fan, but this one takes the cake. Daniel Craig plays a very tough Bond, a very different Bond that is. My dad thought he played James Bond very well and said he liked this Bond more than the others. Well, I may have to agree, he kicks some major ass in this flick (which my dad and I both agreed looked very real). I liked the cast, Eva Green is a beautiful Brit, which is Bond's lover (you know he always has to get laid a couple times in the movie by some of the most beautiful and exotic women). Bond's car (you know he always has to have the hottest car as well as the women too!) is like this state-of-the-art machine that looks incredible, but doesn't go into much detail about his car as past Bond films have. There's a scene in the beginning of the movie where he is chasing a bomb maker on foot and they end up in a construction site. Craig is running up a crane, jumping off buildings and busting through walls. Not to mention, the bad guy he is chasing is doing some incredible stuff too. Mads Mikkelsen plays Le Chiffre, a sinister looking character who is more less a banker of sorts to underground terrorists. He borrows a large amount of money from some underground guerrilla mob and as his plans fall through of doubling that money he is forced to play a international game of poker, with bets like 500 million and such. So Bond takes him on head-to head at this poker game, which ensues plenty of action and mystery. Like I said, this film is action packed and the stunts are just crazy insane. I like movie's like this that takes place in different countries, like they were in Prague, Madagascar, France and UK of course. I thought this movie was great and I highly recommend it! Has a 7.9 out of 10 on imdb.com
