Yeah I agree, the whole idea of basing the new Bond film Casino Royale actually on the book, is well - boring.
I'm very cynical about Bond 21, its got boring now. Just move on.
I didn't actually like Casino Royale because;
Okay, we got this French guy who we think is bankrolling a Russian SMERSH operation - and oh yeah he's s SMERSH agent himself, and oh yes - he's a compulisve gambler who cheats at carRAB and has an appetite for beating people up who sit naked in a chair. All you got to do is bankrupt him and SMERSH will do the rest.
I think they'll make the French guy bankrolling a terrorist outfit and the whole idea of bankrupting him will probably be in the title-sequence or something very minor to some grand plot.
To be honest why don't they just kill Bond and move on... oh yes, because there is money to be made...
