Why do they suck?

because I play poker so i notice stupid little stuff that they could have easily fixed, but probably no one else cares about.

First of all I get annoyed by the fact that every hand they show is a stupid ridiculous over the top insane hand (straight flush vs full house vs full house vs flush 4 handed).

The math doesnt work out on the last hand, Bond couldn't possibly have had enough chips to bust Le Chiffre (sp?) based on the amount he said he was raising, a stupid error on the writers part that could have easily been remedied if they just thought about it.

And the logic on the first hand where Bond goes broke is faulty, according to the story Bond thinks Le Chiffre is bluffing, yet he goes all in anyway, a play that makes no sense which could have easily been corrected as well.

Mostly stuff that if you didnt play poker you wouldnt notice or care about, but as someone who plays poker a lot it really bothers me since the things they did wrong could easily have been corrected.

Well, thats fair enough. I don't play poker, so I wouldn't know such things.

And you're not the first person to make the exact same points.

I loved this movie from start to finish.

Not as much as my little brother..who saw it 5 times in the theatre.

IMO, the opening black and white scene as well as the following chase scene are among the best I've ever seen in an action movie.

I'd never been a real James Bond fan before..now, I can't get enough.

I'll say this.....CASINO ROYALE is the first 007 picture where I actually cared for Bond personally, and not simply as my proxy action hero.

Yup. And yeah, there is a reason its a different codename over there. I'll tell you in PM, if you do care to know why.

CLUE: "RRA is a name spoken with great shame and terror at the Booth."

Loved this movie - but then again, I love pretty much every Bond movie. I enjoy every actor for what they bring to the table -- the character's a welcome reminder, much like the John McClane we saw in "Live Free or Die Hard," that while many things change, some things never do.

This movie did take out a lot o those comfort moments, however. No Q, no Moneypenney...

I loved "Casino Royale." It was so refreshing to see a Bond movie be so different yet manage to keep the style and attitude of the whole series.

Wasn't exactly curious as to why the different username seeing as how I barely use the same name forum to forum. Just making sure nobody was ganking your stuff.

Well, I appreciate you looking out for me.

But yeah, I post these reviews at several different forums. I'm a whore for attention.
