Enjoying my system - for once!
2 weeks to go until the launch of IMO the biggest movie of the year - Casino Royale - but are YOU looking forward to it?

On the plus side, the director has already succesfully re-launcehd the franchise with the brilliant Goldeneye, so he seems to be able to introduce a new actor into the part quite well.

It seems that CR is going to follow the same trend as Batman Begins did last year by going back to the grass roots...Bond gets his 00 licence, makes his first kill etc.

Personally, I can't wait. If all the Bond fanboys have to complain about is that Daniel Craige is blonde...I say, at last - someone given the role on his ACTING ability rather than his looks...:thumbsup:
 
If it's as good as Batman Begins, it'll be good!

I'm not usually a big fan of Bond really, I watch them when I get round to it.... but this one looks like it might be good enough for me to want to go and see it.

(I think M:I-3 was the biggest film of the year though. ;) )
 
Yes I am! And to get into the mood I've been watching all theBond movies in order, right now at the tail end of A View to a Kill. Suprisingly , I've found that Octopussy and For Your Eyes Only are actually alot better than I originally thought.
 
I really look forward to this movie, I never really liked brosnan. and daniel craig is just a completely different and really new bond and I think he will be GREAT as bond.
so this is a whole new era starting now, just wish they would make more bond movie, how about one a year? :)
 
Bond, sure looks good.


MI3; I shall find out tonight - my R3 DVD dropped on the mat this morning :thumbsup:

AND mine, along with 'Over the Hedge'. Not sure 100%, but i think the MI music is played in Over the Hedge, and it was also on 2nite at the fireworks display i attended. Coincidences, gotta love them.

I would agree with that.


This Bond looks like he might be more Bauer than Bond which I think is a good thing. I read the other day the next one will be a real sequel and carry straight on from CR, nice change.
 
Can't wait. Watching the other Bonds in anticipation.
 
Couldn't care less.
 
Can't wait, really been looking forward to this.
 
as long as the guy can act (he's already proved it elsewhere:smashin: ) and they cut back on all the stupid gadgets and go more grass roots that'll be fine with me. I hear they had to trim the torture to get a 12A rating... when I was 12 I'm sure I wouldn't have objected to seeing some guy get busted in the nads with a carpet gripper rod, I saw worse than that in my head at that age just from reading books :rolleyes: Shame the studio didn't have the balls to accept a 15 rating :suicide:
 
Really looking forward to this. Anyone who hasn't seen Layer Cake and comment on Craig not being suitable for the role, really is missing out.

I thought he was great in Layer Cake and as long as he's brings the same carisma he showed there, he should be a great Bond.
 
I hope the threads still around who gave the Daniel Craig a thums down before even seeing the film, as it looks to be a alot better than a lot of the Brosnans which after the last effort, (not Pierce faut) I was thinking of never seeing ona again at the cinama.
 
I like the Bond movies when they come out and enjoy them on first viewing.

Thats about that, I find it hard to watch them a second time.

The older the Bond movie the harder it is for me to watch.

Pity

Same here, I can't even watch any before Goldeneye they all come across as very plain and boring, most think Connery is the best Bond but if he's the best spy the goverment has got god help us.

I thought Die Another Day was OK first time but absolutely awful now (not including orange bikini:)). The bit with ice landslide and parasurfing, bad idea, bad cgi just terrible:thumbsdow

The series has needed a fresh update for a while hopefully this it.
 
I've read three reviews and they've all been good.
 
looking forward to this one, its over 2 hours long too which will help bed in the new bond, and the reviews are very positive
 
When originally announced I did have my reservations casting Craigo, but the idea of the film - A sort of Bond Begins with a splash of rawness has made me rethink and I will probably go and watch it.

I have watched all the Bond movies... well from OHMSS at the cinema (showing my age!!), apart from the last two as it was getting ludicrous. So it might be a good thing to see 007 from a different viewpoint.
 
last great bond films were the timothy dalton ones.
so i look forward to a decent bond again
 
I'm really looking forward to this one, trailer looks good and the guys in head office who have seen it say it's a very good one. Yeah, the torture scene was cut, apparently there's a scene where he's sitting butt-naked tied to a chair with no seat. And he gets whipped in the unmentionables many times. The v2 trailer where the building is crashing down and Bond crashes his Aston gives me goosebumps! Hope we get our 3 copies of it really early in the week. We have a charity screening on Wed so we'll get it before then.
 
So why post then? is your post count REALLY that important to you...?:rolleyes:

Erm no, I was responding to a QUESTION in the thread title.

If you are gagging to see James Blond, played by an ugly actor with the charisma of a ham sandwich, then woopydeedooda to you. :)
