The Craig Reconstruction: Casino Royale (2006) - Part One

haphazardstuff.com
A major shakeup happens to the Bond series. Pierce Brosnan leaves the role of 007 in an acrimonious departure, the rights to Ian Fleming's first Bond novel Casino Royale finds its way into the hands of EON and a new actor by the name of Daniel Craig is cast as the new James Bond to a very pessimistic public.
This is part one of my review of Casino Royale that was meant to follow 'The Craig Reconstruction Intro'. Initially this project was done several years ago and I wasn't able to post it on my TH-cam channel. After going back and doing some re-editing, cutting and tweaking of it to make it acceptable to TH-cam it's finally made its way to my channel - at least for now.

I can't understand why anyone would thumbs down any of your exceedingly well produced youtube videos . Every one I have watched and enjoyed thoroughly has always been concise , well written , edited and impeccably narrated .. Some folk just don't understand the length of time these type of videos take to make .. All the best !! AND THUMBS UP !!!

Not doubt that Daniel Craig is the Bond of our time but Pierce Brosnan was the perfect Bond of his time and he really brought the Bond series back to life. And the åroduction was steady, not like today. The span since Spectre will cripple the next Bond movie.

Think the Craig years are very well done.

Dude, i have been saying for years that Dalton was my favorite Bond portrayal (prior to Craig). Everybody always told me i was nuts to think so, that he was terrible, that nobody liked him in that role .... but watching this now makes me feel vindicated. Dalton was trying to bring what Craig brought to the franchise decades ago. I guess audiences or production houses just weren't ready for that REAL Bond then.

Despite Brosnan's films getting sillier, I actually think his performance got harder edged as he settled in. Brosnan's Bond could be pretty harsh when needed.

[@jacobcherian4384]

They should have just done one more bond film with pierce Brosnan and let him go out in style with 5 James bond films under his belt !

Casino Royale (2006) is the BEST James Bond movie.

As much as I prefer maybe all other Bond actors(of the Eon films) to Brosnan I think he got the short end of the stick being fired like that, for films that suffered from the script and direction, not his performace. Brosnan needed one Bond film in between of Die Another Day and Csino Royale that was more serious or at least, done in a classic Bond style, something like the Dalton films. They're unmistakeably Bond with all the tropes, but Bond's character is more serious. Brosnan's Bond films felt more like Bond parodies than sincere Bond films

Great video--I did not dislike Brosnan's as Bond, though I did not care for the movies. They felt too influenced by the Mission Impossible movies and kept trying to go for bigger affects drawing attention away from one of the best characters ever created.

Daniel Craig has the 2 BEST James Bond movies Casino Royale and Skyfall.

[@pauloroberto1459]

This is one of the best Bond documentarys i've ever warched.

[@GrandFunker]

woooo! I've seen all your stuff on your site, but it's nice finding it in my subscription feeds and seeing it again here on youtube!

[@MrSevenstars1]

This one is in your top five, MHO. And you've submitted a bunch. It covers a LOT of ground, across a lot of Bond performers and behind the scenes legalities and motives of the players involved, and the whole while, the editing is, as always, excellent. You add the back ground music so perfectly. Thank you!

[@poontang3zizo]

Dude....you are hands down the most thorough, entertaining and knowledgeable reviewer I have come across for the 007 films. This is exceptional work. I have a blog page up where I occasionally cover movie reviews and thanks to you I'm now inspired to cover Bond

[@pauloroberto1459]

I have to admit, im a fan of your work. Continue the good job.

[@uarenotthere]

Can't wait for your skyfall review!

[@mrmomtime111]

Let's get Pierce to do everything we say and then fire him for doing poorly. sounds about right.

[@212Hasse]

Bond Producers was influenced by a tread of 2 successful movies; Batman Begins and Jason Borne - The Borne Identity. These two movies starts from the beginning of how main character became who they are. They both have Bond style look and realistic main human character with flaws. Thus, Casino Royale from the original book by Ian Fleming starts how younger James Bond got to be 007 with extreme learning curves. The other part was Bronson's Bond 4 movies were apparently over-the-top action movies making Bond character compare to Batman Begins and Jason Borne seems.. unreal.

Just wanted to say that your videos are excellent, and quite professionally done. It really feels better than most of the “official” James Bond documentaries and you don’t have access to 1/10th of the material they have. Excellent jon
