The best thing about the movie was the salad I ate.
Fast cars, beautiful girls, breathtaking action, cool gadgets. If that's what you want, go watch Don. For an endless, senseless game of poker, watch Casino Royale.
The movie starts off well with a nice action sequence with the bad guy running off like a monkey in the house of flying daggers, with Bond in hot pursuit. Then suddenly, it stops being a Bond movie - the girl, Eva Green, was much better off in Dreamers, the Aston Martin is only used for a crash scene, Bond actually falls in love, and there are no gadgets except a stupid defibrillator to get him back from the dead! How about a house in Venice going down into the water for some spine chilling action? Add a couple of songs and some running around bushes, and this could have actually been a James Deol movie!
Come on, we actually paid 100 bucks to watch this?
ps: OK, on second thoughts, it not such a bad movie - except that I really had huge expectations from it. And yes, the title song is fabulous!

Casino Royale is about Bond starting out.. So maybe not having too many gadgets, too many car races or too many beautiful women makes sense. And so does Bond falling in love. Since he's new at the game, he's vulnerable to a few glitches here and there..
But I could be a little biased.. I think Craig Daniels is yummmm...
