excess.
The producers and director felt it necessary to match contemporary exaggerations in film which, TO ME, are a major weakness of the current action genre.
Imagine, if you will, Bullitt with that chase scene lasting three times longer, and it being but one of five.
That film was everything Casino is not: tense, well-edited, LEAN, and exciting.
I enjoyed Casino Royale but found its faults overwhelming and, therefore, the enormous amount of praise shocking. To say it's a marvelous film, compared to its post-Connery predecessors, is to damn with an historic amount of faint praise.
(In light of the chair scene, are we to assume Bond, in the sequels, will now be a soprano?)
