Just got back from Casino Royale. Loved every minute of it. Loved every word of dialogue. Loved every location, costume, actor, camera angle, plot point. I loved this movie. I loved the trailer when it first hit. I watched the trailer like 10 times in a row. If you see it (and why wouldn't you) think of me and know that anything you love about this movie I loved, too. And anything about it you DON'T like, I also LOVED. I truly loved every moment of this movie.
At one point about 2/3rds thru I was completely at a loss. I had no idea where it was going. That so rarely happens to me in the movies. It happened in The Prestige and now again in Casino Royale.
Hopefully, I'll be seeing Royale again this weekend and hopefully this time it will be in focus. The midnight screening was a hair out of focus the entire time. The previews were COMPLETELY out of focus and they kept trying to fix it but they never really did. How hard is it to run a movie theater?
And by the way, Judi Dench is the smartest, sexiest, and most compelling actress currently acting in films. She has no equal. Every time I see ads for Helen Mirren in The Queen, I think to myself, was Judi Dench too busy?
And about the "Bond controversy", I've liked all the Bonds. I never met a Bond I didn't like. I love Daniel Craig but I can love him without denigrating Brosnan. I wish people would stop saying the series was growing stale under Brosnan. The last Bond film grossed 160 mllion domestically. Daniel Craig is a welcome addition to the Bond family but Brosnan should not be dissed.
