Just saw James Bond

So me and Pold Denis went to see James Bond on Thursday. Pretty good movie, not great but good. I really like Daniel Craig as Bond, hes badass! However, this movie leaves the viewer with alot more questions than answers. Perfect bridge movie for a 3rd Bond.

Too many in my opinion. I saw it last night.

As much as like Craig's portrayal of Bond I don't really like what the new Bond has become.

IMO Bond has just become a super fighter like Jason Bourne in the Bourne trilogy. He's just a roughed up fighting machine, more so in this one that in Casino Royale.

I liked the Connery or Roger Moore Bond, was just as good a fighter, but did it with much more smoothness, and grace.

Bond has been Americanized.

To be honest, I was getting tired of all those gadgets. They were so 1980s. Maybe im an angry person and not as classy as u but I like the new Bond..lol

I'm a HUGE James Bond fan. I have all the DVD's except the ones with Pierce and I've seen all the movies dozens of times. IMO Roger Moore was the actor where the Bond series went wrong. I rank George Lazenby higher than him and now I've started to appreciate the work of Timothy Dalton. It's so sad that the world wasn't ready for Lazenby. At the time Connery was the man, see how old he already was in his latest Bond films? Also Dalton had to step into the shoes of a very popular Bond (Moore) and I believe that is why he is so under rated.

Daniel Craig's Bond is again more towards to the ones which were acted by Connery, Lazenby and Dalton. Moore's Bond was too humoristic in many of his movies, and Pierce Brosnan's time....well the movies are just pure crap in many ways.

I haven't seen the latest one yet but I have to say that I just love the Casino Royale. Like Fidel said "no cadgets" (thank god they were getting cheesy

) , but most of all, a new perspective for the whole series. Even the use of the "Bond cliches" had a new nice way to pop out.

Craig is a great Bond and hes the real deal, exactly like Flemming portrays him in his novels... hes cold blooded, strong, brutal and a one liner guy not like Roger Moore or Connery at all...

i liked the movie for the old school exotic picturama style, the opera house scene was great but the storyline, OMG!! not convinced about that one... Casino Ryale was much stronger

Craig kicks ***!

He is cool blooded type of Bond. He never have second thought of killing his enemies.
I like the new image of Bond, but rather than Quantum of Solace, I prefer the previous one, Casino Royale.
But in overall, the new James Bond movie really great and above average.

I like the older James Bond movies more, the original feel is getting lower with every new release for the series.

Casino Royale is by far the best in the series, in my opinion.

**darley** · 11th Dec 2008 07:22 PM

I think Daniel Craig is the best Bond. I like the new Bond series, it's more real, more gritty... however, Quantum of Solace was just plain awful. They really only mentioned the organization Quantum once, and they never explained what happened to Mr. White.

I'm hearing that there won't be another direct sequel, so we may never know.

frankly speaking i hate daniel craig...i like him as an actor but not as james bond..i feel jason statham should have been the present bond hero...he is a very good actor and suits the role of james bond perfectly...
