Hey guys! I just wanted to know what do you think of this movie? I have a good feeling about it. I expect it to be more physical (and more violent) than Casino Royale. I LOVE Judi Dench! I hope she has a bigger role in this movie. Are you guys looking forward to this next Bond movie?

It looks great to me. I like the direction the James Bonds have been going, being more serious and realistic. I can't wait to see this.

I have to say, as a pretty long Bond fan, I am not happy with Daniel Craig as Bond. I thought the last movie was a good movie, but not a good "Bond" movie. He doesn't look the part at all, and while yeah sure, you can say.. he is Bond cuz the writers say he is, that doesn't fly with me.
My wife was shocked when she watched it. Having seen a handsome man like Brosnan play Bong and then have a more rougher looking craig.. it was a bit of an adjustment.
Again.. I liked CR as a movie.. just not as a Bong movie. I also like DC.. just not as Bond.

I think I know what you mean... It feels to you as if Casino Royale simply was a good action movie and not a good Bond movie, right? Personally, I've adapted myself to the new Bond. I appreciate the fact the he doesn't rely on gadgets that much. It makes the movie more realistic... even if some of the gadgets were quite cool! Still, one of my all-time favorite James Bond is Golden Eye with Famke Janssen. I have high hopes for this new one coming in November... I hope I'm not disappointed because I feel like there's NO good movie AT ALL at the cinema lately...

Exactly! As an action movie it was great.. Craig was all buff and he had a cool bad ass attitude. Even with out all the gadgets though, there is something else he is missing... the look. No offense to Craig, but he lacks the Bond look. And the gadgets..well.. thats what Bond is though.. I mean, there is nothing wrong with that.. its what the character is and uses and always has been. I think its part of the charm of the show.
I do recall Brosnan saying he wanted the franchise to go in the current direction though. Its a shame they felt Bond should be a younger person to do that though.
Still, in time, maybe Craig will make it his own and I'll grow to like him as Bond. Like I said, I liked the movie, so that will not stop me from watching QoS, but I know a part of me will be thinking "this isn't Bond" the whole time:)
