...campy talking owl Bubo from the original in this Clash. He makes an appearance here. But he was sort of like R2-D2 in the original one. You have to be careful with those little nods to the [original] audience. My nephew ain't going to get that. Mads Mikkelsen [(Draco)] didn't even get it.

Reluctantly, he agrees to fly home to meet with his would-be benefactor...
...license to kill. From the first scene, the film is intense and more or less keeps that tension up right until the end.His first assignment thereafter—given to him by M, played by the incomparable Judi Dench—is to stop the sinister Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen, whose last American film was “King Arthur”), banker to the world’s terrorist organizations. The pic is centered around a high stakes poker game that Bond must win to keep the money from getting into the wrong hands.“Casino?...
