The name is Bond
Note: Those who havent watched Casino royale n are plannin to watch it, are advised not to read the following post coz I dont want to deprive you of the excitement of finding how boring a bond movie could ever be and how dumb of an ass James Bond could be.
I watched Casino Royale a couple of days back. I was completely disappointed just like any other bond fan in the world, as i guess(as i bet), would be. In the first place, I didnot like Mr.Bond himself. I couldnt take the fact that Brosnan has been replaced by a stupid blonde. For God's sake, they should've atleast colored his hair black so he would look a little less stupid. He could hardly make it up to the Bond standard. The dressing did no less harm to the Bond image. He hardly wore the usual black suit. He was mostly seen in vacation
dressing like polos, beach shirts and designer partywear and fancy goggles, worse... he even posed nude. May be he wanted to be an unconventional fancy Bond. In that case he should've made a sequel to "The Beach" instead of "casino royale".
The plot of the movie was equally dumb. A double-O agent being employed to play poker at a casino and win the game. God!! how do I stop using the word "dumb" again n again. The plot is like this. There is this particular Mr.Villian who takes a huge amount of cash from
terrorists, plays poker, wins ten times the money, returns it to the terrorists and keeps a part of it. And the Brit Govt is worried coz if he wins,the terrorists would become more rich and powerful. So, our Bond is expected to play the game, win, and stop the terrorists from gettin rich, and save the world from terrorism. I would suggest a simplerer method of doing the mission. "Kill the man.Get the money." I suppose Bond would have found this more comfortable than playing a stupid game for hours together. I was also upset abt him not makin much use of the aston martin and the omega watch. Looks like they were just used for namesake.

Things that a doubleO would never do:
-break into a foreign embassy
-assault dozens of men in there
-finally blow up the embassy itself(no Im not kiddin ....watch it 4 urself)
-get all this published in the newspaper headlines(n still not lose his job)
-fall in love with an enemy spy(i dint say "make love")
-become emotional while on a mission
-break into a foreign embassy
-assault dozens of men in there
-finally blow up the embassy itself(no Im not kiddin ....watch it 4 urself)
-get all this published in the newspaper headlines(n still not lose his job)
-fall in love with an enemy spy(i dint say "make love")
-become emotional while on a mission
-turn an egotist 4 the sake of a friggin game which itself ironically happens to be his mission.
-become a dumbass who cant even operate a defibrillator.
-become a dumbass who cant even operate a defibrillator.
But our Mr.Daniel was found doin all of these things. Actually, he was found doin more...I mean even more wierd stuff, which is hard to explain. But, in a way, this is a bit justifiable coz this particular "casino royale" is the 1st work of Ian Fleming, so Bond is just a rookie.
One good thing about the movie is that we get to know that chief M actually has a name. Bond just gives a hint of this sayin that M is one of the two syllables of her name, which means her name is Emma or something(OK... thats how i figured it out). I dont have an idea of the number of movies Daniel has signed for.It wasnt like "they had no choice", coz they had Hugh Jackman and a whole lot of others. I hope a miracle happens, and there comes another bond as smart as Brosnan or Timothy Dalton.

Just thought I'd say Hey!!!!
I made an extra $2000 a Month Using this site!!
I DIDN'T SEEN THE MOVIE MAN .THE MAIN REASON IS A DIRECTOR CAN SENSE THE CASTING WHETHER IT IS GUD R NOT AND I SENSED WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED THE FILM WITH THIS UNCLE BOND THAT THE HE'S NOT PERFECT. IAM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED TO THIS BOND DANIEL CREG.ACCORDING TO ME PIERCE WAS THE PERFECT BOND.OK.WE SHARE LIKE THOUGHTS AND LIKE FEELINGS FROM CHILDHOOD.THAT REPEATED AGAIN.MISS U RA.
rey casino royale is the first book ian wrote ra.. the plot isnt the new bond's fault..
hey huney you looked at my blog! how sweet! aww .. i love you cho much
haha leave you heaps of comments that you'll get sick of deleting haha hehe
Uh.... dude, I think you either saw the movie with extreme prejudice.
1) he cannot use a defibrillator in a condition when he has very little oxygen and is about to pass out. I'd like to see you doing that.
2) They cannot kill, or rather don't want to kill le chiffre because they could use information from him.
3) He doesnt actually plan to make his money ten times by poker, he does it by short selling airline stock. Bond foils that.
I'd tell you the whole thing, but I dont have all that much time. Go watch the movie again if you want, this time keep your eyes and ears open and your brain switched on. No offense.
@fra
Oh yeah.. nice effort there.
1)"I'd like to see you doin dat"....dude, my name's not james bond.
and thats not the only instance, he gets into troble whole lotf time.
2) What info abt soviet SMERSH is woth bond's life, loadsa cash, settin free LeChiffre, n 2 hrs of boredom?
KGB cud do it even widout him.(rather my own presumption)
3) LeChiffre DOES(yeah he does) plan to make money by poker(or baccarat or woteva its called), so he can repay da soviet guys...dats y our james is sent down der coz james is considered da best gambler.
dats the whole plot, my dear
now someone needs to watch da movie again wid brain switched on
Heyy Harsha.. I hav some thing to differ wid ur points. Hope u take em in a lighter vein.
1) "May be he wanted to be an unconventional fancy Bond"
Dude.. tats how IAN FLEMMING describes BOND in his novel. Cruel, Merciless etc. Attributes of a mercenary basically. Not exactly like other Bonds exhibited. Suave, STylish, Gadgeted(sry for da tense :D). Ofcourse Bond was never Blonde. I agree tat
2) "fall in love with an enemy spy" and "become emotional while on a mission"
He is a human not a gawd to be feelingless. Also i wud like to add Spies r also vulnerable to emotions. Dey r specially taught against it during deir training, but think of it, staying away frm home for years!! fill da rest urself.

3)"and there comes another bond as smart as Brosnan or Timothy Dalton."
Again.. come out of da impression tat all heroes shud be smart. if i remeber, he is a spy. producers opted for Daniel craig cuz brosnan demanded a whopping $21 million for da movie. Daniesl is signed for 2 more Bond Movies. around $3 million for da recent one which increases to $11 million to the third

(pardon me if im wrong)
PS: Producers opted demselves for no gadgeted Bond bcuz recent bond movies weren't faring well as dey had xpected where as real spy movies lyk BOURNE fared exceedingly well which depicts a spy well better dan James.
2) Also to add, dis is da biggest ever hit in james bond series movies not only in terms of revenues but also in viewership.
@kalyan
Dude...dat was a real biig comment, cudnt find time 2 read the whole thing aye, but looks like all u ppl includin my GF are climbin the bondwagon against me abt this (now dats malapropism okay?)
maaaan...even Im a bond fan, i went all the way to bangalore to watch the movie.
may be i watched the movie wid loadsa different expectations tho i knew it was Ian's first ONE.
