Casino Royale screened this morning in Paris, and I've just received this reaction from Parisian film critic Mathieu Carratier, whose opinion I trust because he despised Marie-Antoinette: "The movie is a mess," he begins. "A sometimes very entertaining and pleasurable mess, but still a mess -- a typical example of a badly-produced film.

"There's no focus at all. The other main criticism-that-may-not-be
-a- criticism is that you rarely feel you're watching a 'Bond film.' I'm not entirely sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing -- it may be both. I do know that it's partly Bourne redux and partly an old-school Sean Connery revisit (and on that note, dangerously close to an old-school Connery parody at times).

"For the first half, you get Bond doing his best Jack Bauer impersonation fighting a free-running athlete, and then suddenly he's all tux-and-martini saving the world at a poker table -- exciting indeed. The movie seems over, but the screenwriters then decide to pull a Return of the King on us and it drags on forever until a final action scene.

"Daniel Craig is fine, but he's playing a totally different character from the one we know." (Wells commentary: And what's so bad about that? I'm sick of the old Bond-smoothie routine.) Martin Campbell's direction is efficient but uninspired, the best shots coming from the second unit directed by Alexander Witt.

"This is a film produced by people who clearly didn't know what they wanted to do. All you get is an average spy film which, in trying to distance itself from its pedigree, ends up with no pedigree at all."

All the other reviews say it's awesome.

So screw these guys.

Seriously. I haven't seen the movie, but I don't think he could have portrayed a good Bond anyway. There did seem to be a lot of action though. Casino Royale got beat by Happy Feet in the box office on opening weekend!!!!

Trust me...this movie is DEFINATELY worth a see. It was one of the best movies I had seen in a LONG time. I think it should have beaten Happy Feet...with more hype and more of a look into what the film really is...it would have done better because TRUST ME...you CANNOT get a good feel for the movie by the trailers...I went into this movie expecting one thing and got something TOTALLY DIFFERENT...every friend that I went with to see this was like speechless after that and we ranted about it all night to everyone we saw.

Exactly, I went to see it with my buds too and we all loved. Easily one of my favourites of the year (along with the prestige, supes returns, v for vendetta think that was this year?) just a really good film. Screw that one review, this film is definitely worth it, I truly loved.

"You know my name" Wow Chris Cornell wrote one hell of a song eh?
