Although it seems a bit oxymoronic to speak of James Bond and intelligence in the same sentence, Casino Royale is James Bond with a lobotomy. I seem to remember the James Bond of forty years ago, as played by Sean Connery, as not only intelligent but also suave and elegant. Our twenty-first century Bond is, er… well muscled. So one has to wonder: Does the stupidity lie with the script writers, directors, producers — or with the audience of today that they’re producing for? Have we really gotten this dumb?
