Casino Royale 2?
Advantages: You will stay 106 minutes in front of your tv watching action
Disadvantages: I feel lack of something
...writing a review on the Quantum of Solace too. I won’t go over all the James Bond films I promise. The Quantum of Solace has more referrals to the previous film in line, Casino Royale than other series did. I mean that there are some dialogues between M and James Bond that can be understood only if you have seen previously Casino Royale. The film was directed by Mark Forsters. The running time is 106 minutes and the classification is 12A. The film ...
...about James Bond, visit: http://www.007.com/ The plot ------------ James Bond (Daniel Craig) tries to find the members of the organisation that blackmailed his beloved Vesper Lynd (Eva Green from Casino Royale). It seems that his action is motivated by revenge and M (Judi Dench) pays attention on his movements. He meets a beautiful girl, Camille (Olga Kurylenco) who leads him directly to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric). Camille is hunting for General ...

Bond is back
Advantages: Good script, Excellent acting, Quick tempo, Loads of action
Disadvantages: Terrible theme tune.... and opening credits that go with them
Quantum of Solace is the 22nd James Bond film and second to be played by Daniel Craig, after his performance in Casino Royale. The film begins directly after the events in Casino Royale with a high adrenaline car chase, which is one of my favourite scenes from the movie and a very good opening scene at that, bar the fact that you have to sit through the credits and worst ever theme song for 5 minutes. The theme song should not have been chosen and ...
...fist fights than Casino Royale. Quantum of Solace is based around the revenge of the death of one of Bond’s former lovers, whereas Casino Royale is more of a love story and a poker game. I would definitely recommend watching Casino Royale before watching Quantum of Solace, and if you can’t remember the story behind Casino Royale well then go back and watch it, otherwise the storyline is very difficult to follow and can easily become confusing. I ...

Bond is back.... bigtime!!!!
Advantages: Fresh, updated and original.
Disadvantages: Not much on offer as extras.
...welcome to my review of Casino Royale. Well after seeing this again on Christmas Day on Sky and getting it as a Christmas present, I just couldn't resist reviewing the film itself.
As an avid Bond fan since being little, it was with some excitement that when I heard that Daniel Craig had been given the part of the legendary agent that I knew straight away that we were heading in a different direction with the franchise. That is not to say that Pierce ...
...Fleming that was left was Casino Royale. Now for the purists out there the 1967 film starring David Niven and Peter Sellers was not an official film as that was done by someone else other than EON Productions, so it doesn't count as a proper Bond film, and besides that was done as a comedy co-starring Woody Allen. Casino Royale was the first of the Fleming novels and was first issued in 1952, thankfully the film stays loyal to the novel in characters ...

Tomorrow is just another day for Bond
Advantages: Great modern work all round
Disadvantages: Ever so slightly lacks Cubby Broccoli's magic
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) is the 18th Bond film, and the second starring Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. Brosnan's first outing as Bond in Goldeneye in 1995 was a great success following a 6 year gap since Timothy Dalton's Bond in Licence to Kill in1989. Goldeneye bridged the gap following the end of the Cold War and the reduction of Soviet villains for Bond, and paved the way for a more modern Bond dealing with more topical issues, as we see here ...
...Goldeneye. While there was success, Tomorrow Never Dies did not rise straight to the top of the box office chart as it was released on the same day as Titanic - not necessarily an error on anyone's part, for who would have thought anything else could have outsold a Bond film? But it did, even though the total amount taken at the box office was more than Goldeneye.
Bond musical legend John Barry again opted out of adapting music for the film, but ...

Bond 20 is a pillar for the franchise
Advantages: Excellent villain, strong plot
Disadvantages: Slightly over the top with the special effects
Die Another Day is the 20th Bond film, and was released in 2002, the year of the 40th anniversary of the Bond film franchise. It was Pierce Brosnan's last outing as the MI6 agent, and was met with acclaim as well as criticism. The special effects take another step up and the action sequences are breathtaking.
The Plot
Bond liases with South Korean agents to prevent rogue North Korean officer and arms dealer Colonel Moon from starting an all out ...
...well.
My Opinion
Die Another Day is a very good film for many different reasons. Toby Stephens is one of them, but the other performances must not be overlooked. As the 20th film on the 40th anniversary, there were references to every single previous Bond film, which are too many to quote here, but can all be found by doing a single google search. I thoroughly enjoyed searching for them, though in the end I had to give up for some and look on the ...
