I FREAKIN' HATE JAMES BOND
For some reason I could never get into 007. Believe me I've tried but each time bordem and sleep usually end up besting JB. Not once have I gone from start to finish on a Bond film. Yet the formula has been pounded into my brain thanks to pop culture.
Take one part physically fit arrogant asshole
add half a bag of over the top gadgets and cars
mix with two chicks named after their reproductive organs
Then top with deformed villian who compensates by trying to destroy the earth
Fuck that! And that's coming from a guy who reads books with pictures of people in spandex, more or less doing the same thing. You'd think this shit would fit perfectly between the Lone Ranger and Batman??? Believe me I've sat through some of the shittiest of shit movies. Movies so bad when others want to turn it off my response is "let's man up and finish what we started here." As most of you know horrible movies are rented and watched on many ocassion and it's considered fun!!! But mention James Bond and narcolepsy sets in.
Yet how is it that I found myself at the back of a long ass line for a sold out theater on opening night for a........James Bond movie????????? Even more odd it, was fucking fantastic!!!! Casino Royal is one of the coolest action/spy movies. It's like if Batman Begins and the Bourne Identity met at Shot's Tavern, got loaded on cheap massive amounts of well made drinks. Stumbled back to the batcave and made sweet, sweet love. Then they come to find out that the Bourne franchise is pregnant. But instead of getting out the wire hanger they decided to keep the baby and call it James Bond. Now is where the reviewer is supposed to dance around and not give anything away while describing what they felt was "the most fun I've had at the movies since (insert Spielbergh movie title here)." So here we go....
Casino Royale was a really good movie. If you like really good movies you should see Casino Royale. If you've always hated James Bond and want to see a really good movie you should see Casino Royale. If you hate really good movies don't see Casion Royale.
