Wed, 29 Nov 2006 17:38:16 +0000 http://adamhewgill.com/blog/2006/11/27/casino-royale/#comment-21 [...] I feel compelled to make a few more mentions of Casino Royale and how effin awesome it is. There’s a huge writeup from some kind of James Bond addict located over here, and in summary I agree. But let me make this distinction now, Sean Connery may be a god amongst men, but he is *not* the best James Bond ever. If I had to put my money somewhere, or go all in ala Casino Royale game style, my money would certainly be on Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye (I actually view Goldeneye as the quintessential Bond movie of all time). That said Daniel Craig comes in in a very close second. The last few Bond movies had ridiculously silly villains, with ludicrous plots and cheesy effects to spice things up. Not so much anymore, we’re back to Bond, James Bond, with a developing attitude and just packed with pure action with a goal that makes sense and a villain that you understand and at the same time want to fail, I love it! On a closing note, anyone seeing this with someone, you’re probably going to want to look into a gym membership shortly after, because rawr at the beach scene ^^ [...] [...] I feel compelled to make a few more mentions of Casino Royale and how effin awesome it is.
