Today (11/15), me and my wife watch the premiere of Casino Royale in Indonesia. Not a perfect movie. But overall, I love it. This is my personal review of Casino Royale.
1. The pre-title sequence is very very different compared to other Bond movie. Especially the toilet scene. For me, the experience of seeing the toilet scene is the same like watching "Saw", but in B&W. Not having any direct relation to the rest of the story in the movie, this pre-title sequence succeed on telling the audience that they are watching different Bond.
2. Yes, the gunbarrel sequence is different. But, if CBN forums never tells me that the gunbarrel is different, maybe I will not noticed it. The gunbarrel only being shown to the audience very quickly. That's why only audience with very sharp eye will notice it.
3. Although the title sequence looks good (I like how the designer try to make the animation looks like coming out from playing cards), I think the looks of it is too "calm" and not right for this movie (For example: whenever we see the gun shots, we see the line coming out slowly from the gun). I think Kleinman still unable to top his first title sequence, "Goldenye." The arrangement of the main theme song in this movie is relying more on brass and strings, that makes the main theme song sounds more like Bond.
4. The free-running sequence is awesome! Mollaka sure will be one of the villain that everyone will remember. Although it is great to see Mollaka do his free run, what makes the scene more great is James Bond himself, doing the best that he can to catch Mollaka.. Definitely classic!
