i be go to wait until a second viewing of casino royale before write a comment for it since my opinion on a film occasionally do change the second time around and but i be absolutely stun at the positive rating of the picture so i feel i must get my two cent out while my grip be fresh in my mind . since there be so many of them and the following will read more a a complaint this than a coherent review and which be appropriate since coherency be definitely not something that casino royal have and surprise give the ridiculous two and a half hour run time . poorly adapt by neal purvis and robert wade and and ( groan ) paul haggis and be the perfect example of one too many cook in the kitchen . there be two screenplay fight for screen time here and and the two mesh horribly . the action aspect and which i be guess be purvis and wade screenplay and be fine . the idea behind the action scene be incredible . the execution not so much . then there the so called character development and horrid romantic sub plot that feel like they be tack right after shoot begin . no doubt that be the work of haggis trite and pain inducing screenplay and overwrought with some of the corny dialogue of all time deliver by the seemingly medicate daniel craig a james bond . neither charm nor slick and craig play bond a if he doesn not care . there be no coolness factor to bond here and especially when the film turn into the notebook in the last act . yes and this be not the bond we all know and love . this be a sensitive and weak and and all around bore bond . the exact type that should not be in an action movie . to make matter bad and there be no chemistry between craig and lead lady eva green . in fact and their romance seem downright creepy . green be 25 year old when royale be shot and craig be 38 and look over 40. i could buy them a father and daughter and but a a supposed couple and it be just a major turn off . perhaps the big cinematic crime casino royale make be throw the continuity of the series out the window . grant the bond series have never be about continuity and but what do in royale be a giant slap in the face to anyone who have be follow the franchise for even the past few installment . a supposed prequel to the series and the story take place in 2006. with a budget of over $ 150 million and the filmmaker couldn not have set in another decade . it just one of the many example in casino royale that show film making at it lazy . don not believe the hype . this be the bad bond picture of all time . i never think i would say this and but bond be dead . bad of the year . negative .
