Despite the reviews, I went in open minded and was hoping to enjoy it on some level.
Eventually it was made as a spoof of the James Bond movies, and most nowadays people don’t really know about this film (especially after the 2006 film). Casino Royale was the first novel in the James Bond book series, there were attempts to adapt it in the 60s with Sean Connery, but from what I could tell, there was issues with the rights. But one Bond film I hadn’t gotten to yet was the 1960s Casino Royale. I had watched all the James Bond movies, including the unofficial Never Say Never Again starring Sean Connery.
