Shit makes no sense.
If anything, I think that watching Solace actually improves watching Casino. It sorta helps you when you can see the eventual arc that Bond is meant to be following, as opposed to the film just meandering along.
However, both of these films pale in comparison to the might that is GOLDENEYE.
Bond fighting evil Commies? Check.
Nerdy Russian Hacker dude? Check.
Hot Russian Chick? Check.
Awsome Casino Scene? Check.
Car Chase involving a motherfucking TANK? Check.
This film has everything you could want, and more. It's basically a highlight reel of all that is glorious about old school Bond, the puns, fast cars, hot women, and, of course, Alan Cumming.
Plus, it's the début of M as played by Judi Dench, a performance that I love so fucking hard, and that was apparently so well received that she was the only one allowed to carry on in the reboot. Because she's Judi Dench. You just don't fuck with her.
The point is that I vastly, vastly prefer cheesy and fun Bond to the Bourne style that we are apparently going for now, which I think is a mistake. I love the corny Bond.
Of course, I'll also be the first to dismiss the later era Brosnan films as being cheesy shite as well. Because I am a man of mystery, fickle choices, and also inhibited by an unhealthy love for Sean Bean.
