007 : casino royale 1 of the greatest movies of all time?

It doesn't matter whether they're remembered as classics or not, the masses are a bunch of mindless lemming like fickle creatures that change from classic to classic basically on a whim that spreads like a wild ravaging fire, or a virus. So long as one kid, a single mind cherishes it as his most precious or favorite movie, it will be so in his eyes, and in the eyes of the beholder... of all beholders given time they too shall understand his point of view, and why it had value and merit and how it commemorated all other movies in its own twisted, for the time and times when it was not accepted, way.

 

in Every thread... Can't really understand why you are allowed to post, but I stop worrying about it now...

 

Oh man his babbling has me laughing 'til my gut hurts.

 

LSD flashbacks are NOT your friend.

 

You're my absolute favorite member. Never stop posting.



NEVER!

 

Quotet for truth and I would also say that they are not friend to this discussion board either. It was "fun" for a few posts, but I don't want to hear about cannibalism, or giant of destruction etc.
ever again.

 

Situation resolved. Back on topic, please.

 

Very nice!

Anyways about the Bond movie. I did like it, the action was more in your face than usually and Daniel Craig was good choice for this film, I did however feel that the story was on a back seat while the introduction of a new Bond actor was sitting in front, the story wasn't all that great imo and the poker scene lasted too long and less surprisingly they always monster hands with the last heads up having four of a kind and straight flush. . I did enjoy this movie, but I still liked Miami Vice more.

 

Off the top of my head, he loses his gun in the opening scene, the stairwell fight, the airport fight, and the collapsing Venetian building. I suppose it's more gritty if there are two guys slugging it out rather then one guy who shoots the other from six feet away and it's all over.

It does however remind me of that running joke on the "Fast Show" where two guys just do nothing but punch each other in a parody of the Hollywood movie.

 

Some great fight scenes in the movie, and overall very well done, easily one of the better Bond movies.... but that damn zoolander look was really distracting the whole way through. I didn't know whether to chuckle or puke after I realised it was going to be his "bond look" throughout the movie.

 

That was my point. When Brosnan took over, everyone was saying "fantastic, best Bond ever, best Bond movie ever, resurrected the franchise, etc". Looking back from a few years hindsight, it's a case of "meh, mostly pretty good, nothing outstanding".

 

No, that's a serious question. What ties to Hollywood does a movie need to have to be called a "Hollywood movie"? I wouldn't call Casino Royale (or any other Bond, for that matter) a Hollywood movie, despite the involvement of MGM and Columbia Pictures.

 

I hated it, the story went nowhere and had a whole bunch of twists that weren't bond-like.

Goldeneye is a classic because it's just testosterone and bullets, this not so much.

 

Best bond movie? Maybe. One of the best movies of all time? You're joking.

Seriously, it was a really good Bond movie. But I've never considered any (including Casino Royale) to be that great of movies.

 

Well, it was a nice movie. In retrospect, the nice bits were mostly well executed. The stupid things stand out more.

 

Here.
