Casino Royale

I finally did it. I watched Casino Royale.

We had a coupon for a free movie rental, so off we went to Hollywood Video in search of some entertainment. We made the rounds, looking through all the new releases, and just couldn't decide what we wanted to see. Then I saw Casino Royale, and I said to myself, I want to see that, and I know Clark wants to see that, let's watch it!

Back when it first came out, I really did not want to see it. I've only really seen one other Bond movie (Die Another Day), and I didn't really love it. It's lots of action, lots of shooting people, lots of immorality, not really my cup of tea. But over the past few months, I've heard nothing but good reviews. Everyone loves it, it's the best Bond yet, such a cool movie, a "must-see." And I bought into it, hook, line, and sinker.

Let's just say I'm very glad we didn't actually pay for it. To me, it was exactly what you'd expect from a Bond movie: shooting people, things blowing up, and slutty girls. It just didn't draw me in. Granted, I haven't seen many Bond movies, but if this is the best they have to offer, I don't think I want to see any of them. Sorry to all you who loved it, I just didn't. Turns out I should've trusted my gut on this one, and steered clear of it.
