I wonder nobody posted about the new James Bond movie so far.
How do you like it as a movie? And how do you like it compared to the old movies?
Imo this is the first real cool Bond movie after Roger Moore stared for the last time in 1985. The movies were getting more boring every time, more action less story. But Casino Royal is different and I highly recommend it to everyone who liked the old Bonds but disliked the new! (Mmmmh can we see any parallels to Metallica here... )
Yeah I haven't seen it yet either due to the late Aussie opening date - I am really looking forward to it though, the Bonds were going the way of the Batman Franchise so I'm glad they've escaped that one with their own 'Bond Begins' here.
Just as an aside these late Aussie release dates are really starting to shit me, it seems they're getting worse. Borat only just came out, Tenacious D not for ages, Bond still over a week away - and they wonder why piracy is flourishing

I thought they did a great job with it, not a lot of the special effects of the brosnan era and somewhat stuck to the original script, except for him not getting married this time around.
Well, even though it doesn't open down here for around a week, I managed to see it and personally I loved it. One of the best Bond films so far in my opinion, and Daniel Craig could arguably be the best bond yet.
I really like how this new Bond is quite a bit closer to the Ian Flemming original Bond, rather than as flashy as many of the movie Bonds have been so far.
And FTB, I know what you mean about our crappy release dates. It used to be just a week or so later that we got films down here, now often it is over a month - really stupid stuff.
Im a huge Bond fan, but have yet to see Casino Royale, I will have to go check it out as I have heard nothing but great things about it.
My favs would have to be
Goldeneye
The Spy Who Loved Me
Thunderball
Moonraker
You Only Live Twice

Yeah, I really gotta go see this shit, a shame I haven't allready :S
I saw on IMDB that someone had reviewed the new rocky film too and said it's great too, so it looks like two of my alltime favourite movie series gets great followups this year.
Hey I am sure that you guys who posted here but havent seen the movie so far will LOVE it!!! As someone said - the caracter is now closer to the Flemming-books and that's really an improvement!!! I am so happy that this Bond movie is cool once again because we all got bored in the Brosnan era. But now we got kinda handmade and hard action, great stunts and some of the coolest dialogues ever heard in Bond movies. Less cgi, less Q-toys, less product placement. Supercool.

Hey King_Nothing, I am a huge Bond fan too and those movies you listed are pretty much my favourites. I would only like to add For Your Eyes Only.

Yeah, well, I thought brosnan was damn cool but the movies from his era were booring though, except for GoldenEye which was great. Connery and Brosnan has gotta be the two I relate to Bond with. Hoping that I won't get dissapointed with Craig.
