Casino Royale: Movie Blog

After watching all the movies in the series, I conclude without a doubt that Casino Royale is the best Bond movie in my opinion. I must admit though that when I first saw that Metro Goldwyn Meyer (MGM) replaced Pierce Brosan, I thought that the quality of the movies would continually get worse. Obviously I was wrong about that, as Casino Royale is agreeably the best bond movie since The Living Daylights. The very first part of the movie that captivated me would be the opening credits. Though it was not tradition because of the absence of beautiful girls with OO7 tatooes in revealing places wielding guns, it has to be one of the best opening credits I have ever seen. Chris Cornell was just another man until I heard his piece You Know My Name playing during the opening credits. Words escape me when I try to define the reasoning behind my claim, because I do not know why I love the opening credits-it could be the music or it could be the interesting integration of old concepts of Bond credits mixed with fresh new ideas.

Once I got past the opening credits, I was captivated to the very end. The first scene in the movie after the credits is the most amazing action scene I have ever seen. MGM went above and beyond the call when they created this scene. The adrenaline pumping action will have you amazed as you see acrobatics you have never imagined. If you have not seen the movie, GO SEE IT OR RENT IT!

The most interesting part of the movie was the storyline. They made James Bond a believable character in this movie. He did not exhibit incredible judgement or supernatural coordination while driving a car, but he remained a believe person who made careless errors and mistakes, which actually had believable consequences.

I will not get into specifics, mainly because I have other things that need tending to, but I recommend this movie to anyone who need something to watch. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
