Casino Royale
Rating: ***1/2
Cast: Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Eva Green
Genre: Action / Adventure

Watched on 17 Nov 06 with Chup.

Everywhere I checked, there were only first and second rows left. So we had to resort to Tiong Bahru Plaza. We walked in half hour before the show and still managed to get last row :)

I must say Daniel Craig looks not bad at all. He must have buffed up like 10 kg for the show. I enjoyed the movie.

I thought the sports car scene this time round is way too short for normal James Bond standard. There is also much less state-of-the-art gadgets in the show.

Chup, being a James Bond fanatic should comment more on the movie.

...the one who particularly likes the following conversation during the movie
Bar man: Martini for you, Sir? Shaken or stirred?
Bond : Do I look like I give a damn?

From Chup:
The 6th and best Bond since Sean Connery. Oddly, this is the first Bond that is younger than me: this has NEVER happened before. Craig is 38, and that gives me a funny feeling, like he, oh I don't know, needs to be somehow protected rather than looked up to. But of course, it's only my feeling, stemming from old age. He's got a sense of danger about him and doesn't need anyone's protection. Connery was only 32 when he starred in Dr No. He too, had that killer persona with him. Downside: this is the Bond movie with the most forgettable and sterile title track. Who sang it anyway?
