So, when I re-viewed it last night, I was blown away by how wrong I was. I also retained very little from that movie, which is a testament to how little I cared for it. At the time, I was disappointed, and I don’t honestly recall why. Yes, I had certain ideas in mind about what Bond was like, and when Daniel Craig was chosen as the new 007, even I balked and thought, “I can’t see how he fits into my perception of James Bond.” When my friends all returned from a viewing, however, and told me how much they loved the movie, and how incredible Craig was, I decided I would give it a chance.
I am going to be honest here: the first and only time I saw Casino Royale two years ago, I was underwhelmed by it.
