Don't think any threads have been made on this or if there even that many Bond fans on here? Anyway, I am looking forward to this movie and its out nowish so go see it and report back here.

Or if you've already seen it, share your thoughts.

Oh it's going to be epic.
I'll probably have to wait a few weeks before I see it and catch it when I go home for Thanksgiving.

BEST Bond movie ever.

And yes, I'm psyched.
After "The Dark Knight" came out, this jumped up to the most anticipated film for me.
I'd be seeing it today, but I have tickets to a concert already. Tomorrow I have family plans.
So, I have matinee tickets for Sunday.

Yay for Bond. ;p ...Speaking of, where oh where is Bondage? Do we get a new story with a new film?!

Haha I actually saw this at the first local showing like 2 weeks ago or something. If you liked Casino Royale then you'll likely love this. I was more amazed by the transition from brute to elegant than the actual story. Although it is left on a rather lovely cliff hanger as to which way they are going to go with Solace. I thought it was awesome, but I prefer the newer style compared to the old any day.

Seeing this tonight... FUCK YEAH.. so excited.. Daniel Craig has it sold.. Pierce Brosnin was a total brittish yuppy pansy in the previous bond movies.. This generation is much more raw and action oriented.. The scene in the trailer where they jump off the roof through the glass onto the platform is badass.. During the filming of this movie they wrecked 2 Aston Martin Vantage's and the stunt driver ended up in a hospital in serious condition... This movie's gonna be awesome.

I just... hate where they're taking the theme songs. New one fucking sucks. Gr@Jack White. Whatever happened to naming the song after the movie? Making it relevant to the story?

Seriously. Jack White? Sad

I hold a personal vendetta against bond movies due to the fact that growing up, people thought they were funny calling me "James Bond" all the time. Har de har har.

My personal fav. name to be called was James and the Giant Peach. I just used it as a personal reference to my scrotum.

I rock, I know.

It's not as fun, I think because it has mutilated the conventional James Bond. 007 used to be a funny and a bit non-serious guy and Daniel Craig is pulling it in exactly the opposite direction.

I heard there was a gay scene. Is this true?

Which is to say that he's taking it in the right direction. I'd read Casino Royale years before the movie was released, and - even though they changed the storyline a fair amount - the movie was the closest to Fleming's original feel as I've ever seen a Bond film get.

Pierce Brosman (if i spelled that correctly) is still the number one Bond of all time.

Daniel Craig doesn't convince me when he plays the role. He's much too serious and aggressive about it.

I"m more stoked for the new Transporter flick.

Roger Moore tried making them funny and I detest his films for it. The rest are pretty serious with a few cases of clever wording, much like the newer ones.

I didn't like this one as much. I thought that they didn't develop the characters enough. Which, I guess made Bond the center of all. But, I felt like it was really just a movie to set up for the next one. All I was really impressed with were a few snazzy fights and that was about it. I found myself pretty bored, actually.
