Moore doesn't like the new Bond, and "apologized" for the new direction of the Bond character. Frankly I got tired of Bond films once they moved-on to Timothy Dalton. Now it's like a breath of fresh (albeit cold and hard) air.

Timoth Dalton was the pretty boy? I thought that was Pierce Brosman(whom was only good in Golden Eye). I thought Dalton was a great Bond in the Living Daylights.

I donno. I get them mixed up. I never really watched any of the Bonds with those guys in it.

I used to really enjoy and look forward to every Bond movie. After Roger Moore quit I lost interest because I didn't really care for the pretty boy Timothy Dalton playing Bond. Daniel Craig has returned to the Connery type grittiness that takes him back to cool. Can hardly wait to see the new one.

I saw it yesterday at the midnight premiere. It wasn't very good, don't get your hopes up. Casino Royale was 10 times better.

i'm going tomorrow afternoon. I don't really have any expectations for the film, positive or negative. I've avoided reading reviews or plot summaries. I just want to go see it and enjoy my 2 hours of bond.

I'm an 80's child and grew up with Roger Moore as MY Bond. With the release of three of the original four opening Bonds, on sparkly Blu-ray, I now see Connery as the Real character. I've watched Thunderball 4 times in the past month and FRWL five times. I am in a new frame of Bond mind.

 

I love Pierce Brosnan with all of my heart, he was God on Remington Steele, but unless he's in a tux, I laugh at some of the tough guy stunts he performs.

I think Craig is as close to Connery as any other actor has been. When I was growing up Moore was my Bond as well. Still remember going to the Odeon Theater(a one screen movie house LOL) in Burlington, Ont to go see Live And Let Die. Jane Seymour was one of my first tastes of lust in puberty!! :wallbash:

JUst saw it it was pretty good not as good as Casino Royle which is going to be hard to do, it ends with expectations of another one, the action scenes in this one were great the story well there kind of isnt one.

Saw it last weekend. I thought it was decent. Worth going to see on the big screen. Not as perfect as Gizmondo describes it but it seemed to be a pretty typical Bond flic to me. My biggest complaint was the title song. Maybe the worst ever. And Bond movies are ALWAYS supposed to start with that little scope ball following him and he shoots it. Blood flows down. Should never mess with tradition like that.

I saw it last weekend with low expectations after hearing a lot of talk that it wasn't as good as Casino Royale, but I personally really enjoyed it and liked it a lot better than CR. To me they have definitely taken a step toward Bourne territory - but I actually liked that aspect of it - and even the story kept me interested. I'm not looking for some homage to Bond tradition though - just an entertaining movie.

Thunderball is, by far, my favorite Bond movie . . . That said, I'm going to see QOS next Wednesday . . .

Now you're talking James Bond.

 

Many years ago (10-15) I proposed a way to make James Bond matter again. Let's face it, the franchise is old, boring and irrelevant. It also has a limited audience.

 

While it is too late for him now, the best thing would have been to get Denzel Washington to play James Bond...the American son of the original Bond...a product of a dalliance between James and one of the Nubian lovelies he crossed paths with.

 

Expands the audience, makes it somewhat relevant again (as James would have a whole host of different issues to deal with), breathe some soul into the franchise, if you will. Plus, Denzel is about the only guy I can think of that has anywhere near the smooth of Connery.
