Sometimes the hot chick dies (or is eveil) and bond has to bone the other hot chick, which one will it be this time!!!! It'll get my ticket money to find out.

Well, the only time another hot chick is in the movie is if the other one is the bad guy or dies. With a name like Christmas, you know it's there for an ending joke. (I thought Christmas only came once a year.)

Sine, did you see the most recent Bond movie? I'm guessing not. It was actually a good movie, independent of being a Bond movie.

I agree, it was independent of being a Bond movie

Yeah, Casino Royal was awesome. It's one of my favorite movies overall.

I still have it on my PC, but haven't watched it yet.

I'm not so sure it was like being the presence of God but it wasn't bad. Although like the new Die Hard, it wasn't really a Bond flick.

I am not exactly sure how you're going to justify this. Gambling, hot chicks, gadgets, insane action, a villain with an oddity about him, conspiracy, one liners, based on an original book, and more. This flick was much more of a Bond flick than anything we have seen since The Living Daylights.

Too "intense" or "realistic" for a Bond flick. And the change to a "before-Bond" character didn't help. Again, not saying it was bad, it just wasn't Bond

Saying a Bond movie is too intense is like saying a Schwartzenegger action flick has too many explosions. Bond films are SUPPOSED to be intense, that is one of the main parts of the classic formula. Also, if Casino Royale is too realistic to be Bond, then so are half the other Bond movies out there.

What Casino Royale did is return to the classic Bond formula established in the movie From Russia With Love.

Terrible title. Looking forward to the movie on the merits of BR.
