Casino Royale

a review by Potential Kermode

2006 - the year they turned Bond into a common soccer hooligan.

In 2006, the film makers - no longer under the watchful eye of the late Cubby Broccoli decided to run away from making James Bond movies. They also cast a short blonde man as 007. They screwed with the gun barrel and the tone of the once lively, over the top and amusing series was now one of tedium.

It's all over for Bond films now unless they decide to make real Bond films again and not this monotonous and bland rubbish.

It's shame that Cubby was not still around to keep Eon Productions in line and stop them ruining 40 years of hard work.
