Casino Royale (1967)

 

 

 

 Starring: Woody Allen and David Nevin and Peter Sellers and Orson Welles

 Directed by: John Huston

 Not Rated

 Genre: Comedy

 Synopsis: The synopsis is way too confusing to be typed in one sentence. Sorry.

 My Thoughts: This film was a James Bond movie, but it wasn't an official Bond movie, because it wasn't made with Albert R. Broccoli and was very loosely based on the Ian Fleming's book of the same name. This was a comedy, with an all-star cast.

 Scorecard

     Acting- I do not like Woody Allen. His acting in my opinion is crap. David Nevins as Bond was terrible, the only acting job I liked was Orson Welles as the villain Le Chiffre, and that wasn't good enough to give this category a good rating. (0)

     Direction- This movie was split into different chapters. It was a terrible idea. It was hard to follow and all the different directors (six in all) did a really bad job. (0)

     Story- I really liked the book Casino Royale, so I thought that this story would be pretty good. It wasn't, this movie was very loosely based on the book and was turned into a comedy. It was a terrible mistake. (0)

     Expectations- Like I said, I really enjoyed the book. I hoped this movie would be decent. Then the credits began rolling at the beginning. Once I saw Woody Allen's name on my screen, I knew this was going to be bad. (0)

     Boring?- Yes. Even as a spoof of spy movies, this was crap. It was not funny at any time, the story dragged, the acting was terrible, everything added together makes a very boring movie. (0)

   Final Score: DUNG! 0 out of 5

 Final Thoughts: I was really worried when I heard that they were going to remake this movie. Luckily the remake was closer to the book. Unless you like really bad comedies, or like Woody Allen, avoid this movie at all costs.
