No. Generic chase scene at the beginning that quickly goes completely over-the-top, possibly to make up for the fact that nothing happens in the movie until he fights that Chinese henchman in the Komodo Dragon pit with all-time terrible CGI. Anyway, Bond 'dies', immediately returns. No emotional build-up for the Bond girl so no emotion when she's killed off, in fact, I think even Bond barely reacts to killing her. Ralph Fiennes' presence death flagging all over Judi Dench. The London MI-6 attack in which Joker Bardem gets that TDK kayfabe protection where everything fits into his plan perfectly, even things he didn't plan for or had to improvise. Ending is Home Alone in Scotland.

It's pretty to look at, but unfortunately it also features all the other Sam Mendes trademarks of being dry, long-winded and boring.

Chase scene wasn't generic and clearly developed some of the themes that would run through the movie and how M approached the job and how Bond did. It's all great character work from scene 1 and everything builds on the scene after it. I guess it did everything i needed it to do for me as a Bond fanatic

Skybore took out all the energy and fun from Casino Royale, made Bond :old: despite him only starting out in the previous two films:snoop: and changed his motivation:scust:, movie was dry and the only thing that was memorable about it was Adele's song. Mendes can't shoot action. Home alone gunman style at the end:why:. Nothing in the second half of the movie made any sense and turning it into an "M" movie fell flat on it's face.

Some of your criticisms are valid but I still really enjoy the movie. Yeah, I felt a lot less of an emotional connection to the characters but I'm a huge cinematog head and it's one of my favorite movies cinematography wise. Even with some flaws the movie is really entertaining and pretty to look at. Casino Royale is still GOAT.

Chris nolan wanted to do a bond film hopefully he gets the chance.

Idris alba and chris nolan James Bond film :whew:

I was just listening to a podcast on this very subject..I think he'd be out of their price range at this point and he may want too much control for them. And I keep telling y'all Idris is going to be too old by the time Daniel is done but :whoknows:

guess you'll be protesting breh lol.

I've done the math. He'll be 43 this year and Craig still has at least one more Bond film on his contract. Spectre comes out this year and the next one MAY be two years from now or it may be three years from now which would put Idris at 45 at the max when he signs, maybe 46 and when the movie comes out he'd be 48. That's just too old to start out as Bond man. If this were 10 years ago, it'd be perfect. to say nothing of the fact that Craig has an option for another film after the last one in his contract
