BUT THEN, I had to wonder how much money did Ford have to pay to get there 1-minute commercial in the movie. Also, Botox must be making a whole lot of money right now. Botox, it's not just for women any more. Everytime the camera made a close up on Daniel Craig's face, I could not help but laught at the ridiculous poses and pouting of his lips he would make. It was ridiculous. Oh, and another thing.... Daniel Craig your buff, we get it. You don't have to take off your shirt or your clothes every other scene to demonstrate that you have a six-pack, arms like guns, and an ass that we all wish we had. It's like he is exploiting himself so we can pay more attention to his body and forget his bad acting.
Oh, and let's not forget how James Bond gets sissyfied towards the later half of the movie!!! I have barely come to terms with James Bond movies treating women like disposable objects, but that's the essence of a James Bond movie. And now, they throw a freaking love story in order to appeal the female audience. "Oh, I love you and I am going to leave the secret service to spend the rest of my life going around the world in my sail boat and making sweet love to you each day!" And, then poor little James Bond must redeem himself at the end by saying, "The Bitch is gone." Uh-huh, yeah right.
All I have to say is that the first half of the movie was good. The second half (or extra three million years the movie producers added) was terrible. But, I am a very cynical person who likes to go against the status quo, and maybe my opinion about Casion Royale is complete bogus. Just watch it and make up your own mind.
The only exceptional thing was Chris Cornell from Audioslave singing the opening credits,
You Know My Name.
If you take a life do you know what you'll give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes of deceit?
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line
I watched the movie a week ago, and I must, that it was the best Bond movie I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot).
ReplyDeleteThere are several reasons I like this movie:
1. Daniel Craig plays his caracter very well.
2. His car is only a car and does not have the technical equipment from the 22nd century.
3. He does not have any belts or wrist-watches which have a whole trunkload of weird stuff in it.
4. There are some more reasons....
5. And yes, at the end "the bitch is gone".
I hope Daniel Craig will be the next Bond too.
The car had a freaking defribulator in it!!!! Oh no, that is sooo not 21st century modern technology. It gave him his freaking life back. Plus, he never says, "Martini, shaken not stirred." That is classic Bond. And if, Daniel Craig does continue with the Bond movies he would have to start from where he left off because this movie was a prequel and not a sequel, so, the whole history of James Bond in some weird way has been erased.
