In Reply to: Best Bond film does set a low bar posted by Analog Scott on December 11, 2006 at 10:31:02:
Bond films just like 99.9999999% of the action adventure science fiction genres typically have convenient plot devices. How fast can the starship Enterprise go? At the speed of the plot. Ie; if the plot needs the ship to arrive late then darn it all warp 9 just isn;t fast enough Scotty.Bond films like virtually all action films have the same kind of issues that you either accept on their terms or you don't. That is why Action/Adventure are not generally lumped into competition against arthouse films. Since the goals are different the reviews are different.
The guy on the other side of the card table tried to kill Bond (well his hench woman).
James Bond was never supposed to go ove the top with tongue in cheek. This is one reason that most people today hate the Roger Moore films -- and one of the reason's that Sean Connery wanted out after Thunderball (though he did others later).
Casino Royale is not trying to emulate other Bond Films and there are logic problems, the film runs too long, the villains are not as clearly drawn as I would like, but that can be said about most action films if not all of them and within this genre there are few better.
And since when does a film need a specific style? What exactly are you referring to with the word style? Cinematic style certainly does not need to be in a homogeneous box. Though granted homogeneousness has become popular -- see McDonalds.
