Okay, I've only rated one film on this website at 0.5 stars, and that was "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." In my opinion, it's the worst mainstream film ever made. This film is a close second. For those of you who are confused by the idea of a "Casino Royale" film in the 60... read more

Bizarre madcap comedy that isn't really that funny, but has a great taste. In the vein of later comedy masterpieces like Blazing Saddles, but with none of the humor. The cast is fantastic and everyone gives great performances, but the film itself just isn't very good.

This movie is half good, but half bad too. There's an all-star cast, and the story is a spoof of spy movies at the time, so it has both of those things going for it. It has some really funny scenes, but then it has a lot of unfunny comedy scenes too. Overall this movie is okay... read more

Terribly uneven but there are things to enjoy. Most of the star cameos are fine if not outstanding. The clothes are wonderful. The women, especially Ursula Andress, are stunningly beautiful and the song "The Look of Love" is great. One question though, why did they dub Jacqueline... read more

If you've ever wanted to see a train wreck of a movie then this is the one for you. Casino Royale was the lan Fleming novel that got away from Eon and with their success it was promptly made into the 1960's version of the Cannonball Run. The plot (?) is that the original James Bo... read more

1960s spoof of the Bond series, should be good, but the Carry-On style humour just doesn't work for me.

The 'other' Casino Royale. Yup. Directed by different directors. James Bond acted by different actors. The story is a jumbled mess. There's semi-funny scenes. I liked Orson Wells cheating at the Casino. David Niven was a good James Bond; it probably earned him his role in "Murder... read more

Bizzare, fragmented, and absurd. A schizofrenic, rambling excuse for a plot... and as a satire, it works beautifully. A simple delight to watch, and given its broad (or rather, totally erratic) range of humor, there is likely to be at least some humor that fits your tastes. Just ... read more

I thought it was pretty stupid. i don't really like Woody Allen though.
Critic Reviews
Peter Sellers has some amusing gags as the gambler, the chance of dressing up in various guises and a neat near-seduction scene with Ursula Andress. Full Review
Out of five directors -- only McGrath manages to connect with this brontosaurian James Bond parody. Full Review
The few good aspects of this farce are vastly outweighed by the bad. Full Review
It's the sort of reckless, disconnected nonsense that could be telescoped or stopped at any point. Full Review
...a definitive example of what can happen when everybody working on a film goes simultaneously berserk. Full Review
Silly 007 spoof tamer than Austin Powers. Full Review
Despite being not officially a Bond film this is good solid, entertaining action. Full Review
Surrealisticly bad
