~ casino royale ~
after being homebound for a few days, ari and i finally got to get out of the house. we went to watch the latest installment of James Bond franchise, Casino Royale, which coincidentally was the first Bond novel from Fleming.
and finally… a fresh James Bond movie! unlike a few previous ones, this one didn’t make me yawn. everything in the movie is more hard-edge than the older Bond movies. the actor is more burly. the action is more raw (which makes it more exciting). and the dialog seems to be more clever and not cheesy. i think this is a good movie in general, it makes the James Bond franchise exciting again.
two of my favorite parts are:
- Daniel Craig as James Bond ROCKS! very clever and charismatic instead of the usual flamboyant Bond, which is out-of-style. he’s currently my favorite Bond.
- the movie’s stunning title sequence. just like the rest of the movies, it’s fresh and different than your usual Bond’s stuff. very cool!! you just have to watch it.
can’t wait for the next Bond movie to come out!

Baru mo nonton nih ntar siang sama Nina.. :)
hehe, kira2 elo suka ga ya…
Love it!! :D More human with his fragile side, more realistic..
Bartender: Shaken or stirred, sir?
Bond: Do I look like I give a damn?
Ha.. ha.. I love that lines! :) and uh, also Caterina Murino. Too bad she had to die early.. :)
Yup you’re right, this makes the Bond franchise exciting again (Umm.. but only for some like us, eh?)
yay!!
katanya si avi (dan setelah gue baca2) banyak orang indo yang ngerasa bond yang ini “lame” dan aneh.
tapi gue rasa sih, sebagian besar — ga cuman di indo doang — pada suka tuh ama bond yang ini. soalnya ratingnya filem tinggi dan reviewnya biasanya bagus :)
ga sabar nungguin bond 22 :)
agree….
love the movie too ! everywhole aspect is make sense now.the action,plot and the dramas.huhuhu
bold and dramatic lah…
rata - rata word of mouthnya di indonesia negative.yg kurang actionlah,daniel craig kebanting ama brosnan,blablabala…:9
huh,poor you gadget freak movie oriented :d
hehe, kali banyak yang pada bingung karena Bond-nya jadi bukan cowok manis :) aneh, ya, padahal gue lebih suka actionnya di filem james bond yang ini… emang ga se-hi-tech yang dulu2 sih… tapi filem gadget sekarang udah banyak sih, jadi bosen.
Gw belom nonton, dari info teman2 gw yang udah nonton semua bilang ini baru James Bond, nggak akan nyesel deh bener2 fresh.
Image bond yang dulu udah ilang, dan ternyata banyak org yang suka. Kalo gw liat ini gambling juga dengan konsep bond yg baru dan mrk perlu bisa kasi sesuatu yg beda antara film 007 dan film action laen.
Duh pengen nonton tapi belom sempet2
nonton! nonton!
betul, kayaknya mereka gambling banget! untung jadinya bagus. kebayang deh kalo engga… imho, bukannya konsep yang dulu jelek. malah mungkin saking bagusnya, yang niru udah banyak banget. filem2 spy yang keluar sekarang ga beda jauh ama filem james bond. nonton MI series kayak nonton james bond… ketebak deh…
makanya, pas nonton casino royale, rasanya fresh :) hehehe.
huhu… imho tetep aja film2 bond yg terakhir emang sucks ! yg parah kan kayanya plot came after the action snene.jadi kaya udah ditentuin dulu action scene heboh yg kudu muncul apa aja,ceritanya kedodoran deh.thus it looks well packaged,nil content…
trus klo sukses - dan kayanya sukses -. emang mo diterusin lagi gitu franchisenya bond ? ceritanya ikut siapa dong ?
kemungkinan besar sih, ceritanya ga ngikutin fleming’s novels, soalnya, kan udah pada dibikin jadi film semua. denger2 sih, ceritanya original gitu… coba aja google “bond 22”… di IMDB juga ada kok.
Nonton Yoel… betul, nonton gih.. :D
Tapi emang kayanya Hollywood lg demen prequel dan film2 remake ya? Batman Begins, Poseidon (and I thought Matrix would be cool if they also took that direction…) :)
Anyway, ngomongin prequel dah tau nggak kalo kemungkinan ada prequelnya LOTR (and The Hobbit) dan what’s surprising, it’s going to be PJ-less! Whoa, not sure if the new director could give the same chemistry as PJ did.. ;)
iya, gue denger tuh. tapi gue kira, PJ yang bakalan directing. ternyata ada lawsuit segala ya… yah, moga2 bagus…
Couldn’t agree more. One of the best Bond movie ever. Many of, sorry for saying this, Indonesian doesn’t agree tho - I guess they are just not used to the ‘humanistic’ Bond, eh?
I am a bit disagree with your second favorite parts because… Where is the dancing girls??!!! Hehe, OK, I admit it, I am pure male so well, I miss the dancing girls quite badly haha!
no no! not humanistic, but chauvinistic!
hmm, maybe that’s why the dancing girls are replaced :P
