How is it even possible that this film done by a bunch of literal whos was better than stuff like Skyfall, which had fucking Deakins as cinematographer?
Why was the Casino Royale script so good?why did they drop the ball so hard with the other three films, teevee?
Because sony didn't meddle. Then sony started meddling. meddling always results in shit.

casino royale was based on a book
the later ones weren't
>they made bond win on a straight flush instead of having him outplay Le Chiffre
>>86440208Are the books any good? I'm afraid of Fleming's prose being shit.

Casino Royale was saved by Eva Green. Overall it's a shit movie.

>[Bond brings in a beautiful purple dress and hangs it on the bathroom door]
>Vesper: Something you expect me to wear?
>Bond: When you walk in and kiss me wearing that, the other players will be thinking of your neckline rather than their cards. Do you think you could do that for me?
Substitute poker players for the movie audience, so basically the same thing.

They are relatively short reads and there is the realism and grittiness you don't really find in the movies. In fact, Casino Royale is the closest they've come to it. I would definitely recommend at least reading that one.

>They played Texas Hold'em because Baccart is too difficult for you average audience to comprehend
Casion Royale:
> Beautiful scenery of Europe
> Nice Aston Martin supercar
> Eva Green slut
> Mads Mikkelsen
Quantum:
> lol whiny faggot villain manlet
> shithole locations cheap ass budget
> ugly Bond girl looks like a third-rate beaner stripper
> awful writing overall
Skyfall:
> Villain is a NEET "we r legion" dork fantasy hiding in some abandoned shithole jerking off to pornhub
> he jerks off Bond, HOORAY first gay Bond moment, Bond smiling about another dude grabbing his dick. Thanks Sony Jews.
Spectre:
> Christoph Waltz is overrated as fuck, only fucking retards think he's a good actor.
> Ralph Fiennes could save the movie, but he's this little emasculated side cuck, not the fucking badass he was as Harry Waters in In Bruges.
Oh yeah, and MoneyPenny is a nigger. I can't wait for them to finish running "James Bond" into the ground when they get a nigger bond, or a woman bond, or a tranny bond.

>Skyfall and Spectre had Deakins and van Hoytema on camera
>they were still average
But seriously, how did they do it?
>>86441104
I will. Thanks, anon.

Because Skyfall was a polished turd. Really polished though, Deakins did a great job there, but a turd nonetheless.

I finally played it. Turns out it couldn't be easier. It's literally just betting 1 of 2 things. The odds are 50/50. Not sure why it's such a big deal.

Fleming's prose is the best thing about them, pleb.
One was focused, well-planned, and knew what it wanted to be.
The others were bloated Hollywood blockbuster trash. Producers wanted money so they plebbed it up, and it worked, they made tons of money.
Casino Royale was done by the same guy who did Goldeneye, that's why.
