I think you are perhaps getting a little bent out of shape by people pointing out just how extremely stupid casino Royale is. In fact die Hard is far more consistant than casino Royale by a country mile. That is the very thing that makes Die hardf acceptable and Casino Royale garbage. i think the big picture you are missing here is there is a difference between a movie maker asking us to suspend certain disbeliefs and a movie maker just being stupid. In the case of Casino Royale you have one of the most clear cut cases of pure stupidity.

Actually there is little that is stupid about Casino Royale and certainly nothing evidenced by you. The Audience is perfectly able to fill in cutaway scenes - not everything needs to be spoon fed to the audience.
Die Hard's Ground police chief asks you to leave your brain at the door -- his character alone undermines the entire film because as far as I can tell it is to fill time for a woefully thin plot.
But oh well - not everyone is going to like every film
- "But oh well - not everyone is going to like every film" True enough. It's always strange to me when people have such - sjb 14:46:52 12/19/06 (2)
  vitriol about movies they don't like and feel the need to slam whole groups of people for liking or simply enjoying a movie.

    The same is true in reverse. Always strange when people slam others for not liking a movie that they deem worhty.

      I do not care that people don't like Casino Royale - but supporting the view with faulty arguments is not fair to the film or those who did like it. Comedy is the easiest - I do not like Pet Detective because I just didn't think it was funny. I can not prove to people, nor would I care to, why it is not funny. Obviously many people felt it was a laugh riot - after all they made a second one.
