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. :thumbs-up:
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.
Yeah, I would agree that Brosnan looked pretty much as Bond is supposed to look, but the movies were lame as shit (except Goldeneye, thats right :thumbs-up: ). Explosions everywhere, no brain just technique... The scripts where so boring, unbelievable...
We're not in this alone.

I am not the bond expert...
I only saw two bond movies I think: A lincence to thrill euh... kill and goldfinger.

This will be the first time ever that I'm really looking forward to see a Bond movie.
The last movies with Brozman were soooo boring.

The trailer was pretty cool... this is the first James Bond movie with... real violence (I hope).

I haven't seen the new one--yet?--but I'm glad to read in many places that they're getting away from being too gimmicky and getting back to basic. GoldenEye remains my favourite Bond film (and its N64 adaptation one of my top 5 video games of all time), and I really liked Pierce Brosnan as Bond. But I do agree that the latter movies he did weren't particularly great; Madonna appearing in a Bond movie is one of the more revolting things I've seen in film. Too much CGI, not enough humanity, yada yada.

Will I see it? Maybe. It takes a lot to convince me to lay down my scarce $$$ for a movie these days, but this one does sound like it'd be worth it.

For Your Eyes Only is an awesome one as well!

And I would agree with Outlaw, Goldeneye for N64 fuckin rocks, I wasted countless days playing that one. Then the fake cheat to get all vintage Bonds in multiplayer threw me through a loop for a while, then I found out it was a fake cheat!

i enjoyed to first 20 min of it when he was chasing that guy, so intense. But overall was pretty good, a lot better than the one before that.

I recently *Got a hold of* of this movie lol

Its really really good...Dan Craig Pisses all over Brosnan...even though i liked Pierce as Bond...he wasnt gritty,wasnt real enough for me..and the Movies with him in,were too gadget,and explosion laden..

This movie,although being on for about 20 mins too long,has the gritty realism of the books...and has some stunning sequences (The Free-running scene is awesome)

I liked this movie loads...and would recommend it to anyone

Shame they cut the torture scene though :angry:

Say Waaaaaaaht? :o

I haven't seen the film or read to much into it as not to be spoiled, but I knew about that seen from that pic that was floating around, and interviews with Craig. And it seems to me that that scene would really be part of defining this new Bond - and of course holding the plot together.

Do you know was it cut just from the version you grabbed or the actual movie itself!?

From the actual movie itself...the version i have is full.

It was deemed to violent for the rating they wanted

And trust me...it looks very,VERY painful :blink:

I take it Leper that you mean they cut down the length of that scene, since the version I have seen definately has portions of it still intact, and they realy make you feel it.
