A Tradition

Ever year I’m not around family, I tend to go to a movie on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Today was no exception.

I went to see Casino Royale. I went into this movie mainly to see how the new guy did. I had low expectations.

The movie started out without the “naked girls” that is characteristic of Bond movies. That lowered my expectations of the movie following form/etc.

All that said, this movie was EXCELLENT! The acting was good, the plot line was good, and it VERY closely followed the book, although in modern time vs the time frame of the original book by Ian Flemming. The gagetry of the original “series” of movies is gone, for the most part, and he goes on wit and readily available tech, not super tech.

This movie was well worth the ever growing cost of going to a movie! I highly recommend it!
