Live free OR Die hard?

I heard a review of it this morning on the radio, said it was the best one of the series.  Also said it wasnt full of computer generated BS.

Really?  All I've heard are absolute flames... this gives me some hope.

I love the first movie... it's actually part of our Christmas tradition as it's one of my favorite holiday movies... :p ;) :aok

I saw CR... it doesn't have a traditional opening sequence, but the foot chase through the construction zone in the first part of the movie was one of the best stunt sequences I've seen.  Brilliant.

Was a reinvention of the Bond story in the Bourne direction. Smart move and good movie imo.

Casino Royale was excellent.  It was what all Bond films should be like, but seldom are.  Daniel Craig is the best Bond to fill the role since Sean Connery gave it up.

Hopefully not in the Bourne Direction.  The bourne identity series, both the movie and book, were painfully bad to watch / read.

casino royale was excellent until about the second time it should have ended. it was almost like they got distracted with the poker, and realized at the last minute they forgot to actually finish the plot...so they tacked on some fragmented garbage.

I started watching CR on PPV a couple of nights ago. Got 30 minutes into it and fell asleep.

May as well end it if they can't find another Sean.

I believe Hollyweird needs to make a spoof with 3 geriatric "heros" (Willis, Arnold, and Sly clones) in the style of Scary Movie.

I was trying to describe the difference to a friend the other day between Casino Royale with Craig and any other Bond film.

It's visceral.

All the 007 movies before were emotionless cartoons by comparison.

Eh, disagree.  Goldeneye is still my favorite Bond movie, with Casino Royale being second.

This is because both movies were at their basic levels, spy movies.  Where as all the other bond movies I have seen are just action movies with the common character of James Bond.
