In Reply to: "Casino Royale:" posted by tinear on November 20, 2006 at 16:37:47:
I enjoyed this movie, but I wasn't captivated by it. I do think Craig is the best Bond since Connery, but that's not saying much, considering the competition. Roger Moore was never to my liking, and Brosnan was simply too wimpy--he didn't scare anybody with his physical prowess--he had none.I thought there was little chemistry between Craig and Green. My wife, no fan of action movies, even remarked that Craig was unconvincing in his proclamation of love! I guess he was just actin' . . .
In fact, I preferred the other beauty (Caterina Murino) who was snuffed out earlier in the film--what a waste.
I did like Craig's physicality, whatever that means. But he was kind of a brute, and not what I would consider a "thinking man's Bond." Connery was cool; Craig left me in the cold.
P.S. And some of the action scenes/fights just went on waaaaayyy toooo loooonnnnggg for my liking.
