blond bond

a few words on the new bond, casino royale.
disappointing. if you are a bond fan.
where was miss moneypenny, where was q?
and if you decide to get rid of them as outdated relics, what were they replaced with? a bond film has to be trashy and full of improbable gimmicks! that's part of the fun.
all this bond had was clumsy mobile gps and a laptop.
i use both everyday for work and don't want to be reminded of it in an action movie.
daniel craig looks like an asbo from the estate round the corner.
blonds just don't do it for me.
the action was mainly in jetons being thrown on a poker table.
exciting... NOT
no last-second saving of the world, and frankly, i did not care about the bad guy and who was behind him.
to say it in the words of bond/craig when asked if he wanted his vodka martini shaken or stirred:
*do i look like i give a damn.*
this was also the best line in the film.
best scene: the freestyle chase just after the opening credits. that guy, i assume he is an urban jump specialist, was so great he should get his own show! unfortunately for this film, he got shot at the end of that scene.
worst of all, it's a bloody cliffhanger! if i don't care about the baddies in this part, why will i bother to see the sequel?

my verdict: if you want fun, sex, and danger in a movie - borat for bond!
