I finally got to see Casino Royale on the weekend and I must say that I was very impressed.
As a kid I loved everything about the James Bond series ... the gadgets, the toys ..... the sexy women!?! They were always so fantastic, so unreal, that you couldnt really imagine James Bond as a real person, he was more of a superhero.
Until now...
I love the new direction they're taken with James Bond. He's a little closer to reality. Exchanging toys and gadgets with quick thinking and incredible athleticism was a smart move. Looking through my 'adult' eyes, he's still far above my meager abilities , yet he still makes mistakes and then is able to overcome them. He looks the part and is not afraid to win by any means necessary, be it quick thinking or simple brute strength. I liked Pearce Brosnan but could never realistically picture him winning a fight in the UFC octagon. I wouldnt bet against Daniel Craig though and I think 'James Bond' would do fairly decent in the ring being a 00 agent and all.
Bottom Line: A must see and worth the price of admission.
Anyways, the movie was the cap of a pretty decent weekend. I did a little work on the house, got some baseboards done, ran a few errands, spent some time with the family. All in all not a bad stint.

I thought that they did a great thing with the movie. I am really impressed with it! I like the direction of the new Bond...
Bottom line: Peirce Brosnan was a snooty jackass who's prissy antics I couldn't help always thinking that I could top.
The new Bond, however, I left knowing that I could never, ever be that tough, and that I should now worship at a new altar of masculinity. (I'll still visit Clint's).
