Casino Royale, most disappointing Bond film ever

The newest edition of 007 movies, CASINO ROYALE, has turned out to be one of the most disappointing Bond flicks ever.

The film was premiered yesterday at Delhi and it was shocking to witness the slow pace sans any chills and thrills in this 'Birth-of-Bond' movie. There are just about 3-4 notable scenes in the film and that includes a couple of excellently orchestrated action sequences in the first 45 minutes of the film, followed by a scene or two at the casino table.

Apart from this, the film tries to rely heavily on emotional moments, hence trying to show the softer side of James Bond. But in an attempt to do so, it deviates from the vintage Bond following that it has cultivated over the decades.

Things slow down considerably in the pre-climax and the story seems to be moving towards an abrupt end. Though the climax gets your attention back in for a couple of minutes, it doesn't really come with a kind of shock value. In fact, one has now got used to such twists in numerous Hollywood/Bollywood films over the last few years. A below average climax action sequence which follows, only adds on to the boredom further.

Also missing is the tongue-in-cheek humour which is normally associated with every Bond movie. Here the witty dialogues are few and far-between and there is hardly a chance for Bond to showcase his naughty side.

Daniel Craig is fine as an actor but comparisons with Sean Connery and even Pierce Brosnan are inevitable. Craig does well but the loyal followers of Connery and Brosnan would be ready with their daggers out, once the film is screened across the world.
