Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I didn't realize this was a spoof of James Bond until I started watching it. Even then, I got a fair way in before I realized, because it doesn't hit you over the head with the fact. I thought I'd missed out on a classic Bond film, and got rather excited. While it wasn't what I expected, I still enjoyed it.As with most spoofs there are boring lulls between jokes, and some things are exaggerated until they are no longer funny, assuming they were to begin with. The story is a bit hard to follow at times too. However, there are some well done and humorous moments, and it features an impressive cast.Overall I liked it. It's not something to go out of your way to see. Nor is it a good choice for a movie night. But it's well suited for an afternoon, when you're bored, and there is nothing on TV.

CASINO ROYALE, a 1967 spoof of the whole James Bond spy genre, has to be one of the messiest films ever made. A troubled production leads to a very troubled picture in which new meaning is brought to the phrase "scattershot". This is a film filled with extremely broad comedy, touches of surreal humour, and a general lack of both cohesion and coherence so that for most of the running time you're wondering what the hell you're watching.The storyline only loosely follows that of the Fleming novel, despite the misleading title. Orson Welles has a few scenes as Le Chiffre, for example, but what happens to him is totally out of left field. Meanwhile, we get a storyline involving a past-his-prime David Niven as an elderly Bond who recruits various newcomers to the fold, including a poor Peter Sellers. An appears-in-anything Ursula Andress is the crumpet, while the supporting cast in this bloated production is packed with cameoing stars like Deborah Kerr, John Huston, William Holden, and even one Woody Allen playing 'Jimmy Bond'.CASINO ROYALE has an episodic structure that is generally hard to watch as most of the supposed funny bits are anything but. The stuff set in Scotland is completely interminable, for example, although things do pick up a little for the more traditional climax. It's still one hell of a mess though, worth watching only so you can wonder how they got it so wrong.

Casino Royale made in 1967 was initially a vehicle to pry Connery away from Bond when he was disheartened when playing the character for 5 films and before he eventually went on to make you only live twice a year later the offer was made by Charles Feldman he offered him approximately 1 million dollars to appear in his adaptation of Casino Royale which he had acquired the rights to make intending to make it a thriller but when Connery rejected his offer he made it into a spy spoof starring Ian Fleming's first and only choice for the role of 007 David Niven playing an older 007 coming out of retirement to save the world from spectre . And a radical change occurs after M - John Huston is killed Niven takes over mi6 and recruits various trainees to enter a training programme before becoming fully fledged secret agents ( men/women ) then all be called 007 to confuse the enemy its such a preposterous unnecessary edition to the Bond cannon with to many situations characters and needless dialogue Niven gives the only credible performance in the entire film suave and graceful as usual but the rest of the cast and characters in this film apart from le Chiiffe and Spectre are totally unnecessary to the story and should have primarily focused on David Nivens bond in short avoid unless your a die hard Bond fan watch for David Niven exclude the rest of the cast from you memory as the reek of unoriginality and creditableness .

Casino Royale 1967 starting David Niven & peter sellers is a spoof done on original James Bond films its got a cheesy bad story with hilarious dialogs & slap stick comedy moments plus all the characters are called James Bond here only to confuse villains like Le Chiffre & Smersh.now i wont spoil much here you will have to see the film yourself trust me guys this maybe not the the most funniest comedy ever done but extremely enjoyable.this film does not insult or mock the James Bond 007 character in anyway whatsoever the makers of this film just did some harmless fun with it that's all as a bond fan i am not offended & no one else should also.the cast is impressive here its got loads of hot women in here including the original bond girl Ursula Andress as vesper & Jacqueline Bisset who plays sexy Giovanna Goodthighs.the climax is laugh out loud riot with the whole casino gets ripped apart in a massive brawl no one gets spared the kill count is very high here.all of the bond films official or unofficial or spoofs like this film are way better then the rebooted Casino Royale 2006 version of Daniel Craig.the James Bond original film series used to be fantastic running for more then 40 years using the fun formula James Bond 007 is dead now it lasted from 1962 to 2002 then came the rebooted Casino Royale in 2006 the original Ian Flemming title adaptation but it was not a bond film it copied Jason Bourne flicks of Matt Damon & removing all the cool stuff & essence of a true bond fictional feel.i am not comparing this to Sean Connery till Pierce Brosnan era ones those are classics this film is not even in the same league i love them its just the Daniel Craig films that killed the 007 series & made it too realistic none of the recent films have any entertaining stuff left.surprisingly this being a spoof does a great job in holding viewers attention keeping the fun factor alive the action was good too so why the hate.Overall Casino Royale 1967 is a fun filled film nothing more it should not be taken seriously so ill take this any day over the soulless dull rebooted 2006 version my rating is 5/10.Recommended One Time Must Watch
