 Casino Royale is our first review of an "unofficial"
James Bond movie-unofficial meaning that they weren't officially
counted as part of the James Bond movie series that started with
Dr. No. The other unofficial movie is Never Say Never Again,
except we won't get to that one for quite some time. Casino Royale
is "inspired" on the book by Ian Fleming. While Casino
Royale was actually the first James Bond book, I can't imagine
how this movie relates to it at all. Granted, I've never read
any James Bond books, but they can't be as wacky as this movie
was! David Niven is an older James Bond who M wants to call out
of retirement to investigate the assassination of several secret
agents. Along the way, there are several characters who have
the name James Bond. Orson Welles plays an evil magical gambler.
Woody Allen also has a small part in the film. The movie has
very strange music, very bad songs, and is a very bad parody.
I can't really see where this movie is making fun of James Bond
movies, although if you look closely you can see some bits that
they used for inspiration for the Austin Powers movies. While
Thunderball was nonstop pain, Casino Royale is an equally bad
movie with no remotely cool James Bond parts. I am surprised
I was able to write this much for this review! God damn this movie sucked. I would punch Mat for making me watch this, but the James Bond movie feature was my idea. In this piece of crap, James Bond is old, and has sworn a vow of celibacy, (for some retarded reason). After M dies, (inexplicably) James Bond takes over M-16. He recruits some more agents, and names them all James Bond. Then some more stupidity ensues, involving Woody Allen, Orson Welles, and a pill that when taken, turns the person into an atomic bomb. I hate this movie. The only some what decent part, was when every died at the end. Coitus Count : I don't there were any instances of coitus -26 out of **** |
