I saw Casino Royale on Saturday. Hilarious movie. I loved it. Especially the moments between Vesper and James. When Bond said I love you, blah blah blah, I was waiting for the punch line. Really. And I thought it would end up like Guns of Navarone, where he has to kill her but he can't coz he loves her and she ends up dying anyway. It was, almost. The rest of the movie was great. Many parts of the movie seemed to have pissed of the indian censors; some scenes ended abruptly and seemed jerky - not at all in synch with the rest of the movie. Still, awesome fun. Especially the chase scene that ended in the Nigerian embassy blow up. It was not at all like a Bond movie though. Except the cell phone GPS and tracker and the defibrillator and how did they know he would be poisoned with Digitalis? It was as if Jerry Brukheimer and Ridley Scott made the movie together.

I saw it yesterday and I liked it too. I actually hoped Bond would kill Vesper in the end instead of trying to save her.
ReplyDeleteThe chase scene was awesome. They should've let the Nigerian bomb-maker live, coz he seemed like an ideal villainous hench-man who is actually good enough to evade Bond.
I can't figure out which parts might have pissed the Indian censors off, because as far as I remember no scene was particularly 'controversial'.
Someone was trying to kill a girl he loved in Guns of Navarone?
ReplyDeleteAm I missing something here?
vish - doesn't the girl with all her hair chopped off try to double cross Peck? and she is shot by another guy in their posse.. after the famous ripping off the back of her shirt scene. or is that another movie?
ReplyDeleteit is guns of navarone.
ReplyDeleteProbably because I remember the book. The book was good. No ripping shirt of backs there. And definitely no back.
