Yes I did see Casino Royale
Last Thursday.
I was very impressed with the opening credits. It is not that often you get to see creative - yet, not over-the-top (OTT) - animation like that. It provided a nice visual cue back to the sixties, though I don't know how or why. Images enter our subconscious and stay dormant until something harkens them back to the surface.
I must admit I've not been a Bond fan. Nor an anti-fan, but I can't remember which Bond movies I've seen, really. The Halle Berry one, I paid some attention to but can't remember much but planes. I guess I'm therefore now one of the new generation of Bond fans, seeing as the cycle is starting over with a new Bond.
Daniel Craig: Ow. Bond takes/Craig emotes pain. And he's likeable. Though I'm of a mind with M, too.
(I met a guy on the weekend, tall, handsome - too handsome - who said that he didn't ever get a celebrity comparison until just over a week ago: Daniel Craig. I've gotten Jodie Foster all my life… but I can remember the effect of my first celebrity comparison. It is flattering, to some. To the director on my latest project, who gets Kevin Spacey all the time, he finds it annoying.)
Mads Mikkelsen: really interesting-looking. And creepy. Also emotes pain. And is unlikeable. A good thing.
Eva Green: Looks best with makeup OFF. But I absolutely adored her gutsy bitchiness. I must admit Vesper's character is now a little bit of a role model for me.
The film is modern and fluid and most of the explosions take place in the first half an hour (except one notable one, orchestrated by LeChiffre!). It takes a while to weave the fibres of the plot together, so suspend your disbelief and don't take anyone to it who'll be muttering "What's happening now? I don't understand!" because they will interrupt the flow of the film for you. If you're the type of person to drop threads when you see a movie, then see this film for practice. The writers are clever. That's high praise.
Hello. I'm an American woman quite bewitched by the lovely Mr. Mikkelsen. I first saw him on King Arthur and knew he was something more than a brooding Clive Owen and metrosexual,Shakespearian Ioan Gruffudd.He is extremely fascinating to watch on screen.
I did see Casino Royale and have to admit I enjoyed it even with all the standard explosions and men with their guns. I wish there had been more of Mr. Mikkelsen though.
The question I have is: where the heck can I get more of his movies?
good movie. i really was expecting him to be more...action-ish, if you get my meaning. he really was a sharp, amazing villan, but found myself wanting him to...i dont know, pull out a curved oriental sword and hit bond, or give a smacker of a punch, or something very....manly. it really was a well done movie though.
Hi there... I also saw the movie... great stuff... Also a great site you have made. It got me looking around the web and I also found this page: www.madsmikkelsen.org
It looks really great but I hope it will get some more information in the near future. Maybe you should add the link to the links section.
Also I would like to say Happy birthday to Mr. Mikkelsen (even though it is a bit late :)
i also want to say happy birthday to the mr mikkelsen even though is very late
