FCP Bob 1,321 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I love where they're taking the Bond movies, away from the cartoon character and into a much darker place.Also, Daniel Craig is the best actor to ever play Bond and he was a great choice. Link to post Share on other sites

I've only read one of them but my Dads read them all and hes delighted about the new Bond Link to post Share on other sites

But, you want to hear something weird? I just listened to a Bond book on tape during a road trip. This book was not written by Ian Flemming, but it was written by some dude as Ian Flemming. Anyways...as I was listening to it, I kept seeing Pierce Brosnan as Bond in my mind's eye even though I like Craig the best. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a big fan of the change, I used to be a massive Bond fan, but after the last Brosnan flick it was dead to me. Awesome change of direction, i'm lookin fwd to the new one.

LongLiveYorke 38 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Yeah, that movie's going to kick some serious ass.I love the new trend of making action movies good. You know? Between Iron Man, The Dark Knight, Quantum of Solace, Jason Bourne, etc etc. It seems as if there was a meeting in Hollywood where the producers said, "You know what, instead of making a bunch of shitty movies, let's actually hire decent actors, directors, and writers. Maybe that'll make the movie better." Link to post Share on other sites

It's like when Knocked Up still hadn't came out yet, but the trailers for Superbad were advertising that it is from the same director as Knocked Up. Link to post Share on other sites

runthemover 39 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 pretty good. not sure how I'd compare it to the first one. I'd say it'd be hard to judge them separately until the storyline is complete. I think that's the way they're doing it anyway.quite a bit shorter than the first. I was a bit surprised that it was pretty good since my local newspaper only gave it 2/4 and I generally agree with them (I think). Link to post Share on other sites
showstopper24 0 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 I really enjoyed the movie. It was Bond kicking ass...what more do you want? I know a bunch of people who didn't like it because they said it was more of a Bourne movie than a Bond movie. I disagree. Just cuz there's a lot of action doesn't make it not Bond. Daniel Craig is a beast. Link to post Share on other sites

magnus72 0 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Yeah I read a review online today and they didnt give it to good of a rating. Said it was more like a Bourne movie in that too. I think its better it doesnt have as much bull crap boring dialogue. Link to post Share on other sites

I read a couple of months ago that it wasn't going to be in the movie, but it still bothered me. There were a couple of places where it could've fit. Link to post Share on other sites

There were a couple of places where it could've fit.unless I'm mistaken, Bond was never referred to as 007. the action was pretty good in the film but I didn't enjoy the story as much as the first. I was hoping for more than just a series of action sequences. Link to post Share on other sites

Swift_Psycho 1 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Just saw it. It was okay. As said already, tons of action, and little of anything else.Not nearly as good as Casino Royale. Link to post Share on other sites
dapokerbum 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 this is the first bond movie I have ever seen and as such I have little to compare it too, but I loved the movie. It was action packed and just great all around. I think I will watch the one before this now and maybe look into a few others. Any recommendations, or should I just watch the ones with Craig in them.

Ive never seen the ones older than that so I cant comment on them.Just got back from this one. I thought it was pretty good but not as good as Casino Royale. Link to post Share on other sites
