2. I am comparingthe differences inthese two JamesBondsmovies. JamesBondmoviesare
categorizedasactionand thrillertype of movie. The firstone thatIhave chosenisSkyfall and
anotherone isCasinoRoyale.Twoof the moviesare verywell knownbythe people. Casino
Royale waspremieredon14th
Dec 2006; wherelseforSkyfall waspremieredon26th
October
2012. The movie Skyfall hasbecome the highestgrossingBondfilmof all time, earningover
$1bil surpassingQuantumof Solace andCasinoRoyale.
In the movie of CasinoRoyale,itisthe 21st
filmandforthe movie of Skyfall itisthe 23rd
James
Bondfilmproduce byEon production. CasinoRoyale wasalsothe firstJamesBondfilmwhere
Daniel Craigportrayedas007. Martin Campbell wasthe directorforthese twomovies.Bythe
meantime,the writersforthisSkyfall werewrittenbyNeal PurvisandRobertWade andJohn
Logan. Wherelse,CasinoRoyale wasactuallyanovel,whichlateron been remake intoamovie.
Daniel Craig,Eve Greenand Judi Denchare the 3 mainactor and actressesinCasinoRoyale. As
for the movie of Skyfall are Daniel Craig,JavierBardemandNaomie Harris.Twoof the movies
are involvingthe same mainactorwhichis Daniel CraigstarringJamesBond. Whereas,Eve
Greenisstarring VesperLyndandJudi DenchisstarringM in CasinoRoyale.InSkyfall Javier

advancedcomparedtothe onesinCasinoRoyale.
Here is a shortsynopsisforthe movie of CasinoRoyale, JamesBondwasgivenalicensedtokill,
he setsout on his firstmissionas007 and mustdefeata weaponsdealerbywinningthe poker
at CasinoRoyale,butthingsare not whattheyseem. Inthe otherhand,for Skyfall itisa story
about M16 is back to take revenge on M, where 007 needs to track down and destroy the threat.
The plotsof these twomoviesare very interestingandunpredictable. ForCasinoRoyale,the
synopsis ismore towardsgamblingandcatchingthe bad guys.Asfor Skyfall itismore towards
findingthe villanandprotectingthe boss.
The suspense partinthe movie Skyfall is where JamesBondtrackshisvillainthroughaseriesof

part was where Le Chiffre demandedBondforthe password buthe refusedandsuddenlyWhite

In conclusion, CasinoRoyaleandSkyfall are similarinthe genre.Ireallylove how the storyline
reallyworksandalsoJamesBond’sactingskillsare reallygreatandattractive.The producers
had putlotsof efforttomake all the scenesveryrealistic.These twomoviesare aworth to
watch. I couldnot waitfor the nextJamesBondmovie tobe screen;I will continue tobe aJames
Bondmovie fanforever.
