I have to say, as much as i loathe Die Another Day, it's first act reads 100 times better than this supposed opening to Casino Royale.
I completely disagree. Everyone always hails "Well if the second act of Die Another Day was as good as the first it would be the best OO7 film!" while I find the first act of that film to be just as bad as the rest of it.
The first half of Casino Royale seems to be packed with gritty action and espionage, which is what made Bond what it is today.

The first act of DAD was indeed very good and original for the series, 007 as a POW (or PO espionage).
The idea was great but very poorly executed in my opinion but thats a whole different topic all together.
I find it appauling that you actually hope for low-box office returns. You also talk like this is the first time EON has "copycat"-ed something.
Who really cares what audiences think? I'm in on this film for my enjoyment, not those people who go and pay for xXx or cheap horror movie remakes of the week.

Classic OO7 to me is tense action mixed with espionage which seems like what we're going to get.

Is it just me or does the usage of technology (cell phones, laptops/computers, and implanted homing devices) remind you of the Jason Bourne series (specifically The Bourne Supremacy)? I have no problem with it but no other James Bond plot has relied so much on modern technology.
And Ethan Hunt connected to the internet in the first M:I film. Plentiful use of and reliance on the very latest technology isn't new - it's been around since, oh, um, THUNDERBALL. Bond survives by using technology in every film, I think. Even in the gritty etc FRWL, it's the gadget-laden briefcase that saves him from being killed by Red Grant.

Plus, on the subject of Thunderball and technology, in that film it is interesting to note that Bond makes use of a tiny homing device which has been hidden within his body.

Yup. I definitely took it as a reference to that and GOLDFINGER, where he also has a homer. So it was all in tradition, I feel.Plus, on the subject of Thunderball and technology, in that film it is interesting to note that Bond makes use of a tiny homing device which has been hidden within his body.
