    After rubbish like THE A SCREAM and delivering the goods

    who did COLUMBANIA or whatever...

    He'd be great to put on THE TUXEDO.

    :)

    The Craig on the otherhand is a little snivelling c*nt just like the Bond franchaise in recent years. As the olde adage goes..."Sleep with dogs and you get up with.....!"

    :P

    It's difficult to take a poster like you seriously

    Couldn't stop laughing at Taken when I saw it. Terrible movie. Liam Neeson's acting choices have gone to the.....dogs. Daniel Craig is good enough to play Bond.

    Well that was an excuse to use a dog pun but I'm referring to the likes of the A-team, Wrath of the Titans, Kingdom of Heaven etc.

    Why do they have to keep reverting back to the old cars and guns?
    Why can't Bond go forward in the world.

    still can't beat from russia with love though as one of the greatest
    spy films ever made along with the spy who came in from the cold...

    Well yer man made a ****e of the last movie trying to constantly squeeze in allusions to previous Bond films. Whereas Casino Royale did a brilliant job of setting itself apart.

    Yeah I was surprised that they made such a spectacular balls of the last one after Casino Royale had just revived the the franchise 2 years before.


    Daniel Craig is a damn fine actor and is the best Bond since Sean Connery IMO. Hopefully they get this one right.

    am I the only person that actually like QOS? the opening is fantastic, the opera scene is great and there's a few decents action scenes, its far from a bad Bond movie.

    Preferred it to Casino Royale actually.
    The "I have no armour left..." nonsense in the CR script ruined it for me.
    Couldn't take it at all seriously, particularly given Eva Green's terrible acting.

    I hated it until someone on here pointed out that it's a direct continuation from Casino Royale, so I rewatched the two of them back-to-back and loved it then. On it's own, it's not very good IMHO, it can't really be enjoyed as a standalone Bond like the others can, it really needs to be seen as a Casino Royale part 2.

    yeh exactly, its the first proper Bond sequel in that it picks up literally where CR left off, I love the opening shot with the camera coming across the lake as Bond is hauling ass through the tunnels.

    Yep that was me, it works on a whole other level when you watch them back to back. QOS shouldn't be seen as a seperate movie at all imho.

    The opening was ok, but making a direct sequel in the Bond franchise was always going to be a gamble. And I didn't like how the sequel created so many new threads rather than expanding on the ones started in CR.

    I had read about the opera scene and was looking forward to it as it looked really good...on paper. I just didn't feel it played out as well as it may have looked on the storyboard. Same for the horse racing scene. Then ofcourse there is the fact that so much of the films budget and energy was spent on these scenes too.

    Watch Pierce Brosnan's Bond movies again... Goldeneye was a classic Bond movie. The rest were car crashes.

    Craig's physique is overkill for Bond. He looks like a guy who spends all day in the gym, not a secret agent. The slimmer, more wiry physique he had in Cowboys & Aliens would have been better suited to Bond.

    No, it's not. It was shot on digital. It's being converted to IMAX.
