Casino Royale was pretty fucking awesome.  I liked it more than the two Bourne movies.  The second Bourne movie especially made me nauseous with the weird constant shakycam.
Title: Re: Bourne > Bond
Post by: bud on June 16, 2007, 01:04:02 PM

i think the shakycam in the bourne movie works, like it does in most of greengrass' movies.

The shakycam during the final fight in Batman Begins was fucking AWFUL.  I hope they avoid that for the sequel.

I'm going to have to admit that the shaky-cam fucked up the fight in the house in Supremacy. It didn't fuck up the incredible car chase though.

Post by: Ichirou on June 16, 2007, 01:14:30 PM
I think shakycam is a sign that the director isn't confident he can direct an action scene that can be edited cleanly.  It's bad form.

The first four Bond movies and OHMSS make me question this decision, or at least that's the fondness of nostalgia talking.  If we are talking about most everything after those, and especially the more recent films, then hell yes Bourne is absolutely better.  Casino Royale was trash.  The Bond franchise is dead.

Casino Royale's box office (most successful Bond movie), critical reception (best reviewed wide release last year), and fan reception (save for a small niche of you crazy interweb folks) say otherwise. The Bond franchise is on more solid footing now that it has been in 30 years. CR is the best Bond film ever (yes, I finally said it; just tops FRWL and OHMSS), and I personally enjoyed it more than either Bourne film (but I love both of those as well).

Do I...give a shit?  As has been previously stated, critics should have no bearing on one's opinion.  They certainly don't on mine.

I refrain from the nauseating use of "IMO" in my posts, but I'll clarify things: the Bond franchise is dead TO ME.

Post by: TakingBackSunday on June 16, 2007, 02:44:35 PM
I'd say you can go either way.  Bond's best iteration, From Russia with Love, is fucking leagues better than Identity.  However, on the whole, the Bourne series is much more enjoyable than watching the majority of the Bond films.  When a good Bond film comes out, it's really fucking good.

To deny Casino Royale's awesome though is pure shit.  It's the best Bond in over thirty years.

To me he represents this very archaic character who always gets the girl(s), doesn't sweat or bleed, etc. Granted that changed in Casino Royale, but I'm talking more about Connery - who is still the iconic one. I don't like any of the old Bond movies, and find them all to be repulsive. I hate the rampant sex and the extremely repetitive plot devices. While Bond is definitely badass, his villians are extremely stupid to comical porportions. I don't like the series, period.

Want to know how to kill Bond? Send an AIDS infested chick to his house. He may not die right away, but he won't be jumping out of planes anytime soon >:(

Casino Royale kicked ass. If you found something to nitpick in that film, then I don't see how. You must be high or fucking distinguished mentally-challenged or too anal to see straight. More than likely the anal part.

i liked the first half of the movie, when they were kids, more than the 2nd half of the movie when they're all grown up.

Well duh. The first half is superior because that's the meat of the movie. It sets up the second half, which ain't bad itself.

The first half is almost a 10/10 imo, while the grown up bits are a 8.5. Overall: 9.5  :bow

casino royale wasn't bad -- bond was really hardcore and off-the hook, which is a great change from the pierce brosnan smarm -- but MAN that movie has serious fucking pacing issues. i watched it last night after 5 eps of the shield and i fell asleep about halfway into it.

Just because it slows down for the poker scenes doesn't mean it has "pacing issues."

It slowed down near the end too.

BrandNew, Im one of the biggest CR supporters youll find, but its biggest flaw is EASILY pacing/structure issues. For starters, its got one of the most bizarre structures ever. The first third is an action movie, the second third is a suspense/thriller, and the final third is a love story. How many blockbusters contain 90% of their action in the first 40 minutes? And finally, it could have used some editing. At almost 2.5 hours, I think a good 15-20 mimutes of fat could have been trimmed. But I tend to let that slide, as origin films are often bulky like this. Bond 22 should hopefully be leaner and meaner now that we've got the introduction of the 21st century Bond out of the way.

i made a thread about it: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=166148

i agree with the pacing issues but it was only in the last 15 minutes orso. it gave a lotr:rotk vibe and i was thinking: ''why is this taking so long?'' i guess i didn't mind it that much because there was still a little twist after that but it could use some editing in that part, yes.
