Review of Casino Royale (1954) by Facebook U — 15 May 2017

An excellent Bond film. Perfectly retro and fun, while still feeling real. The performances are exactly what they needed to be, the cinematography lets us feel like we're part of the action, and man oh man is the action great.

The set-piece sequences are so creative and wild. Right from the first fight scene it starts showing off how inventive it is. And when the first chase scene started I was blown away with how surprising it all was.

After all, why have Bond perfectly chase after and mimmick a parkour expert when he can burst through drywall or poorly land on a sandy rooftop? This is one of the best spy films of all time.
