007 *spoiler* do not read if you intend on seeing it!!!!

Just saw it, I know late, but it wasn't packed and and it was mostly older couples, no damn kids and teenagers there to ruin the movie for me.

Slow, but not boring. It is only going to lead to some awesome movies in the future. umm thats it I guess.

Kept me busy for a few hours, did not waste my money and the burger and beer from Fuddruckers was decent. But your choice of beer or soda for a combo meal? :up:

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and Casino Royale. I thought the plot was just as good as any other Bond movie and I certainly didn't miss the cheesy lines and goofy gadgets. The Transporter movies only wish they could be as good as these two. I'd say Quantum and Casino Royale were on the same level as the Bourne movies but I'll take Daniel Craig over Matt Damen any day.

[NC325iC]

i agree with OP

[Erick]

The movie was good. I'd put it at a 7 out of 10.

There really was no plot, but it's not bad. The action was pretty good... even though it was hard to keep up with all of the travelling and different people.

I think there was definately some class that they pulled from the original Connery movies. Things such as the girl's death by being covered in oil (as Goldfinger covered the girl in gold), so on and so forth.

Craig still does a great job at being Bond, plot or no plot. And the girl delivers. We could all have used more of Olga with less clothing, but she's definately stunning.

As for the order of Bonds:

1-) Connery
2-) Craig
3-) Brosnan.... but by default really.

wtf? I should have read this thread prior to going to see it tonight. Was afraid it would give up something major though. I was disappointed for sure. I'll take any of the 4 Bourne's and Casino Royale over this one.

BTW, if you happened to miss it being mentioned, Bond kills everyone he comes into contact with. Oh Noes!!! Please leave us someone to question! blah blah blah! Fuckers!

The whole gambling to win a terrorists money just seemed very campy and not in keeping with the overall theme of realism the movie seemed to have going.

what? Have you seen any other Bond movies, like, ever?

they are ALL unrealistic and campy

[240trainee]

This movie is incredible, you are all crazy.

[Desaevious]

No Moore fans? He does puns like no other in his early films. And he definitely nailed chicks in A View to a Kill. He was like 57 at that point.

I thought it was stupid.

There is no denying the current ranking of great bonds though:
1. Daniel Craig
2. Sean Connery
3. Pierce Brosnan
4. Who gives a shit beyond Remington Steele?

-The terrorists lend their money to a banker (the villain)
-The banker trys to shortsell an airline by blowing up their plane in an attempt to drive their stock down
-Bond stops the bomber and the banker loses the terrorists money
-The banker sets up a high stakes poker game to try and win money back to recover what he lost
-Bond plays the poker game to stop the banker from winning

There you have it in a nutshell.

[ABuseO]

What are we ranking on? overall "Bondery"?

In which case:
1. Connery
2. Brosnan
3. Craig


Or Shit-Stomp Ability?

Thus: reverse the list.

^^^ dude, eat some more veggies or something if you didn't understand the plot of the first new Bond. Were you drunk? It wasn't that hard to follow.

And this Bond was entertaining, and way better than the Timothy Dalton movies, but it was kinda missing something the Casino Royale had. It seems more like a device to get from Casino Royale to the next one. It was worth the money to be entertained, but it wasn't spectacular.

I thought casino royale was like mission:impossible 1, a plot that took forever to drag out, weak sauce action, and no specific direction.

That said I loved Quantum of Solace. Craig was like a coiled snake the whole time, always equally ready to play psych games or beat the shit out of whom ever was nearby, and constantly sizing everyone up.

The action was better, the plot made more sense than casino royale (I have to gamble to win this guys money or something wtf?).

My favorite part: "You and I have a mutual friend" to the commander of the national police about felix's death, right before bond kills him.

My least favorite part: The ford edge, period.

[Dozyproductions]

Agreed



Given i love the old bond movies, but i appreciated Casino Royale, and Quantum for their raw originality.

I would put money on the Daniel Craig 007 in an all out brawl of the different Bonds over the years.

what originality are you talking about? Are you talking about how its some what different then all the other bonds but strikingly similar to such fantastical features like Transporter 2?

I'll have to agree, Daniel Craig is the most badass bond with a really different type of thug passion that Connery could never do.

[TDE30]

And what car was in front of Mathis's house? anyone have any idea?

Ha, I thought the same thing when I watched it. It looked like an older Lamborghini, possibly an Espada or Jarama.
