The movie felt like they were almost embarrassed to be making a Bond movie, so tried to change everything about Bond a bit. "See! He likes his Martini with three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel." You didn't see that coming did you??? Not when he's playing poker instead of Baccarat.

Casino felt more like they were trying to bring the franchise back down to earth and focus on the character and his relationships, not the toys. After the Bond car with the bird of prey cloaking device, they really had to.
