I knew that all opinions cancel out on the internet, but I didn't think they would here. Casino Royale terrible? I must have seen a different movie. You don't mean the 60s' spoof with David Niven do you?
I grew up with James Bond. Connery made the character, Moore almost destroyed it, what's his name carried it with a bit of pretty-boy flair until recently, and now Craig has taken it back to the bad-ass roots. Finally. I hope the new movie lives up to Casino Royale. From the trailer, it seems to be a direct sequel.
What!? Moore brought it back from the dead! Connery was the first, but he was never a bad ass. The Connery movies haven't aged well at all, they just come off as cheesy nowadays.
That's whose name I couldn't pull out of my head for some reason. I have no problems with Brosnan. I thought he did a fine, if unspectacular job keeping the franchise alive. He was welcome relief from Roger Moore.Actually, he was relief from Timothy Dalton. I'll never forget in one of the Dalton movies where he pops the clutch in a semi truck and it does a wheelie. Yeah, they have a lot of torque, but not even anywhere in the universe of having enough to do anything like that. As if a truck doing a wheelie wasn't unbelievable enough by itself, the worst part was that the effect was extremely poor; the truck basically pivoted in front of the two sets of rear wheels so that they both stayed on the ground while the front lifted up. Pretty piss poor, and I even thought so the last time I saw it when I must have been 12 or something.

Moore's were way cheesier. Come on. Moonraker? The invulnerable bad guy Jaws? Were you, of all people, actually able to sit through Live and Let Die? How about the flying AMC Matador in The Man with the Golden Gun?
Moore made fun of his character. It became a one-liner fest, a self-parody.
Edit: You just beat me to the punch, Scott.
You buffoon. :P How does this quantify as the same thing? I'd rather post my thoughts on the movie I just watched in the already existing thread, rather than create a new one.You pulled a MyD - trying to bring a dead thread from 2009 back to life in 2010. :P
We all do this when we want to discuss something that already has a thread.Obviously. I do it ALL the freakin' the time around here.
There's no question that Royale is the better movie.Agreed.
