Casino Royale

after reading the newspapers and listening to the news i felt that casino royale was a damn good movie.i couldn't get the ticket owing to the crowd and my exams.the news and reporters went on and on abt the movie stating that it is the first bond movieand the film is raw with no funky gadgets and less heroine wooing.so i thought that the film must not make it big but then the news were telling otherwise.after all the previous bond movie acted by pierce brosnan had super cool gizmos having cutting edge techonology incorporated in them.i have watched the movies of brosnan and they r really good.though i got to watch only a couple of scenes of "to russia withlove",i felt that sean connery has the real talent for 007.there r innnovative gadgets used in sean connery film.note that thegadgets r innovative but not something damn sophisticated like in brosnan's.
now back to the topic.one of my buddies warned me after watching the movie that it is not as good as the previous one's.it was then i chanced upon a DVD.i thought that my friend was wrong and proceeded to watch the movie.the begining was good as he kills the MI6 section chief and his associate.all the actions were taken in black and white.next the location zoomed to Madagascar where bond has to capture a bomb maker.the chase sequence was really stunning.then came the sad part.our hero without any concern goes into the embassy and tries to capture him inspite of the guards.finally after realising its impossible he just kills the bombmaker and escapes with his cellphone.this is where the conceptstarted to falter.i mean u cannot just bust into an embassy and kill the person in coldblood and escape eventhough your identity is captured by cameras.an agent is supposed to be a person who can finish his job silently without alerting the necessary ppl involved if not atleast try not to let the public know abt it.then the plot goes to Le Chiffre.he is a banker who tries to fund many terrorist organisation.he tries to blast the airline in order to make more money but bond foils it.once again our hero is involved in chase of the villian who tries to blow up the plane.bond places the timer in the sucider's beltlink.but there is a flaw as during the chase fuel is flooded from the truck they r driving.the truck barely misses the plane when the suicide bomber jumps out leaving bond to crash on the plane.but when the crash occurs the plane is unharmed eventhough the fuel is spilled all over the place.Le Chiffre then holds a poker tournament to regain his losses but loses again to bond.once again there is a flaw in the plot.Le Chiffre's girl spikes bond's drink with digitalin.bond as an agent must atleast know where drink came from.i mean if he is damn good enough to spot his girl,walk up to her and kiss her then he must atleast be a bit observant abt his drink.his girlvesper lynd saves him.she is a banker who funds bond.bond loses his first round and gets defeated by Le Chiffre.vesper doesno give bond the money to play again.then bond in a desperate urge goes all out to finish off Le Chiffre which is highly unlikely for an agent as he must never lose his cool.then a CIA agent gives him money with which bond wins.Le Chiffre evadescapture by CIA and kidnaps vesper.then Le Chiffre captures bond too and attacks his genitals using a knotted rope to makebond reveal the account number.but a mr.white appears and kills Le Chiffre and his gang.later we see bond in a hospital.the banker arrives to transfer the winnings where bond says the password to vesper.then bond confesses his love and both go to venice.there he gives his resignation to M.but what bond doesn't know that his girlis a double agent who uses bond's winning to rescue her ex boyfriend.bond finds this out from M and hunts down vesper.then an attack takes place and bond destroys the foundation of a building under construction.as the building sinks bond triesto rescue the money and vesper.but suitcase goes underwater only to be taken by mr.white who has liasions with the terrorists.vesper who sees bond trying to save her feels that she has let him down and commits suicide.but she leaves mr.white's number in her cell with which bond tracks down and shoots his leg and says his trademark dialogue.

so i must say it is worth watching only once in the theatres.i dont recommend watching it again.i only hope the director and producers change him or atleast make better use of him.

JACKASS
1.actions r so so.they do not compare to the prvious bond films.2.daniel craig:(-he is balding and has a bit of a tummy(see it when Le Chiffre whips him).he does not look suave.
3.bond's r generally not blond haired.so daniel does not look so convincing.
4.lack of gizmos or atleast innovative gadgets.

SECRET AGENT1.eva green is beautiful:):):)
2.plot sticks to the story.
3.chase sequences r beautifully crafted.
