Nope. It looks promising and could be the best since GoldenEye. To be honest it can't get any worse than the last few. The best are still the Connery ones IMO.
 
All the Bond flicks are a joke, if you really think they're good you must be deluding yourself. Although, I remember Goldfinger was kinda good. But yeah, they're mostly trash... Although, right now I wouldn't mind watching one... Strange.
 
I think I like the Bond movies because they are trash ... very easy on the brain :D.

I'm a bit nervous about the new blond 007. I know it's been debated to death overseas but that pouty look he has in all the posters looks a bit corny to me, a bit over done. Would like to hear if he is cool in the movie because Bond has to be cool or the whole thing flops :cool:.

Agree ... Connery is the best IMO. George Lazenby the worst.

They should make a james bond movie with shaun connery in it. Like they have to go back to the old bond to like fight the new enemy old school or something
 
I think the problem with new Bond movies is that there is no good universal 'enemy' now that the KGB are out of the loop. Those paranoid Cold War days made for a few good Bond films.

All Bond flicks except the Sean Connery ones and GoldenEye. I didn't enjoy the others at all either.

He should take on Islamic fundamentalists:eek: . They fit the bill.:cool:

Of course that would not be very PC now would it. :o

:D
 
I don't really see the Arabs as dangerous (perhaps it's their garb) unless they threaten to cut off our oil supply, but that's not very James Bond :D

Arab doesn't = Islamic fundamentalist

Bond would lose his "licence" if he made that mistake.

:D

You're right! My apologies for the even less PC slip up. I hope they're not on my tail after this one :D
 
Well, I saw Casino Royale last night, and actually found it quite enjoyable. Daniel Craig is an excellent Bond IMO - he's quite scary, looks like a real cold-blooded killer.
 
being sick at the moment with a cold, means I'm shovelling in movies bigtime..
watched 'The Fountain' - odd sort of sci-fi flick, interesting but not awesome.
Also saw 'Marie Antoinette' - which again was interesting, but needed to be shortened by like 20 minutes.. ditto Casino Royale - which seriously needed to be shortened - and sorry, a card game just isnt that exciting.. not too sure about the new Bond, given that his boss is clearly a much more charismatic actor (judy dench) - weird having a nonentity-looking Bond, like George Lazenby was, way back..
winner for me yesterday, was a dumb Korean film called The Host - which dealt, unexpectedly, with a big giant mutant lizard-fish thing, terrorizing locals beside a river. Absolute rubbish, but after the trudge of Marie Antoinette (which had great music tho) - mutant fish-lizard things were a happy welcome relief.
On the agenda today to watch are: brit film 'Chromophobia', another new one 'running with scissors' 'the motel' and a couple of old Kurosawa's, if I have the energy (throne of blood & Ikiru)

Just back from Casino Royale... I thought it was pretty decent. Best Bond for ages, thats for sure.

Definitely needed to be a bit shorter, and where were Bond's gadgets??

As for Bond himself...I did not love him ( noone will ever top Mr Connery) but he was not too bad. Looked a bit too much like a villain for me though at some points...
 
watched 'Running With Scissors' yesterday, odd flick about some kid whose mom farms him off to a shrink and his odd family, so-so.. also saw Brit flick 'Chromophobia' - relationship angst etc etc

Just to make film geeks weep.. David Lynch is appearing at the Brattle Theatre, near me here, to do Q&A after the showing of his new film tonight..might go try get tickets, although its probably sold out totally..
