Casino Royale
“Casino Royale is too much for one James Bond!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 68, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Retired James Bond returns to a spy world overflowing with substitute Bonds, elaborate distractions and incompatible comic ideas. The lavish 1967 spoof keeps changing direction as if somebody has lost the briefing. A fascinating ensemble jumble with striking design, scattered laughs and very little interest in coherence.
