I saw it saturday night and was pleasantly suprised that the new bond wasn't so bad. The story was predictable but aren't all Bond movies. So anyone else see it?

Pretty good movie, but a tad too fucking long. Craig's probably my favorite Bond though.

I haven't seen it, but I hope to this weekend. Looking forward to the parkour chase scene.

I want to see it very badly.. My extremely gay theatre is only playing Happy Feet though so I doubt I will get it locally. I may have to make a trip to see this one though as I want to see it in theatre badly.

It was awesome.

The was the most absurd thing in the world. No one is that built.

But yeah, I liked the movie a lot. Returned to Bond's roots of not really being in complete control, and no over the top stupid gadgets. Thoroughly enjoyable movie experience.

The guy getting chased is played by one of the founders of parkour and freerunning (different things now: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/freerunning )

I thought it was great. It was nice to see that there was no ice melting death ray (or whatever the fuck was going on in Die Another Day), or any other ridiculous thing of the sort. Less over the top gadgets made it a better movie, and Daniel Craig was great as Bond.

Best Bond in years.

Craig was cool, Le Chiffre was good, movie was great, Eva Green is gorgeous.
It was certainly closer to the book than some other films and that was nice, though I did feel they added a bit much to it and made some changes that sacrificed the story's...integrity? a little.
Overall, I was pleased.

I gave it a 3.5 to 4 out of 5. If it was shorter and had a more clear storyline, It''d be great. It still kicked ass though.

Amazing, but I'm going to agree with tizzle that it was a tad too long. They could have like, not killed off the chick, because she was nice. She looked better without the makeup, at least in my opinion.

I noticed that too.

I just remember her looking really hot in the bathroom when she's getting ready for the tournament.

It was alright. I did like the no-over-the-top gadgets, but as people have said, it was a little long for a story without much... substance.

And Daniel Craig is hot. So was the girl, but who cares.

I didn't really like it. I thought Craig was a lifeless, uncharismatic Bond (I wanted Clive Owen) and Le Chiffre was a silly villain. Plus the storyline made no sense in such a long movie.

The action sequences were great but I just didn't like the changes that Craig made to Bond's character. He abandoned a lot of the traditional sayings and mannerisms. And it's too bad John Cleese wasn't in it. He's so much better as Q than Judi Dench's portrayal of M.

Yeah, that was the sans makeup part that I was talking about.

I loved it. Most of the comments above summarize what I thought, Eva Green amazingly beautiful, explosions, etc.

Looking forward to the next one.

I guess I'll go see it, if Tiz liked it

Daniel Craig is defiantly my favorite Bond. It is the first time in a long time that I have wanted to go to the theater to see a movie a second time. I feel like I NEED to go see it a second time. I don't feel like I'd be wasting money seeing it a second time either. Not only is he a fantastic actor but my god is he hot.

I let out a whistle when he was checking himself in the mirror after donning his tux.

I think Craig is pretty much Dalton Pt. II.

...wait, you don't like Craig? You just said you did....I'm lost.

I do like Craig. I also like Dalton. I don't understand why you would say that, unless you thought I don't like Dalton. But why would you think that?

The general consensus is that bottom of the four that did more than one Bond movie.

The movie was good. Craig could have been better.

Oh, the general consensus is that Dalton is the worst Bond next to Lanzeby, so I just assumed you didn't like him.

He didn't feel like Bond to me....I don't know why. Hell, I didn't care for Roger Moore, either. He looks old in all of his movies. However, I could stand him.

I thought Dalton was good for his movies, tough and sorta dark.
The problem with Roger Moore (who I love, especially in The Saint) is that his movies were all pretty bad save for L&LD, which was a shame. Connery really had the best films. I've got nothing against Lazenby, he only did one film and it was fine.
Personally, I think the best Bond was Brosnan. It took me a while to get over Connery's great role in all his great movies, but I really think Brosnan embodied everything Bond really is: tough, good-looking, cold and precise with just the right amount of wit. He got the job done without question but also had that little vengeful edge. I've always envisioned Brosnan as Bond when I've read the novels.

I very much agree with you, and I would tie Connery and Brosnan. The Bond movies just need better scripts.

I wouldn't even hate it if they remade a bunch of the crappy Bond movies (AKA a true adaptation of Moonraker without the laser crap).

I also thought Chris Cornell's theme was great; this was probably the best Bond intro.

When I saw it I thought "Is this audioslave? Fuck I hate this fucking song it sounds like ass!" but now I think it's actually a pretty good song and I enjoy it.

It would be nicer if Chris could still sing like his Soundgarden days, but eh. Glad he got a crack at it.

Yeah, this was my favorite Bond intro scene ever. It wasn't obscure as fuck and the artwork/creativity of the whole scene was marvelous.

I wasn't a huge fan of the intro. I like the song more than most people seem to, but all the hearts, clubs, spades, and diamonds were getting pretty old for me, especially when they were the shots out of the guns. I'm glad that they're trying to be creative with it though, variety is always nice.

Best Bond film. I still prefer Sean Connery as James Bond but still this is the best Bond film ever and Craig was amazing.

I turned it off a bit after they started playing poker,

I figured this was due for a bump since it just came out on DVD (I think). I just watched it last night and it was great. It was just too fucking long, it was like the last LotR movie, you could have ended it in like 5 different places.

I'm a little surprised about people complaining about its length. I love it when movies are at least two hours.



That pretty much sums it up for me. Great movie.



I like Brosnan almost as much as Connery, but he was a little bit too much of a sissy. He was the suavest Bond, Connery was the most Badass. He knows when you gotta slap a bitch, etc. Craig was sort of a happy medium between the two, but played Bond a little too human. Then again, this is how he started out, so he may be desensitized as time goes by.



Have you seen B13? It's been a while, but I remember that also having some cool parkour. And the fighting in it was really nice.

That was the entire point of the movie..

Exactly, I hate how some people say "omg I hated the end because it was more like a romantic comedy." When it was supposed to show that at one time he actually did care for someone but she turned on him changing how he felt about falling in love.

Ummm he got married in OHMSS

That turned out well.

DRIVE-BY, YO

I enjoyed the movie even though there was less action than I expected. Craig did an excelent job, and I wish I had his body.
