[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 349109, member: 8"] Ah ha, so it's more like a science project.:clap: [ATTACH type="full"]42454[/ATTACH] I had added all Daniel Craig/James Bond films to my Prime list although I wasn't in a hurry to watch them. However, since they're no longer available to stream for free after December 31 I figured it was now or never. It's been a long time since I've watched James Bond (actually that's not true, I've rewatched From Russia With Love not so long ago) but I had almost forgotten how outrageous and over-the-top they can be. The chase sequence that starts the story of Casino Royale is absolutely ridiculous, it's like Spider Man without his web-shooter, or Batman without his batarang. And that's just the guy who's [I]being[/I] chased by James Bond. The first thing I liked was Judi Dench as M, and Mads Mikkelsen looks delightfully sinister. James Bond himself is no longer the cheeky bon(d) vivant, he doesn't have much self control and basically he's become a DIE HARD's John McClane (or any other bloodthirsty action hero).

Eva Green looks criminally gorgeous and there was something about her that made me think of Sarah Douglas. It has some very suspenseful parts (and twis 'n turns) but many times I couldn't help laughing out loud. The sinking house! Self-CPR!
