So Lance is the guy who didn't appreciate the more grounded, violent Bond. Go watch your Roger Moore and Sean Connery films. Let the grown-ups enjoy this "disappointing" effort.

. The whole movie was based on not letting some guy win a poker game.. who writes this stuff?.

The man's name is Ian Fleming. Perhaps you have heard of him?

I have yet to see the movie, but what's wrong with liking the old bond? Evil Angel why are you so against the old Bonds? I don't want Bond to be realistic I want him to be able to do a whole bunch of crazy shit without getting his tux dirty. You can't beat Bond sneaking into a volcano base with an army of ninjas armed with machine guns to stop a space ship hijacker.

What I'm trying to say is Evil check your tone girl... check your tone.

You're right Shrimp, you can't beat Bond sneaking into volcano bases and fighting 12 ninjas at a time, 1-by-1 as they attack him.

But when that series became a cartoon of silliness and a lame formula for saving the world, it became cheap and weak. This new Bond is everything the old movies weren't, including violent, grounded and good. Even though Casino Royale has its flaws... it is considerably better than the rest of the Bond franchise regardless of who played Bond or how awesome that volcano lair was.
