Since my local Best Buy has their collective heads up their asses, I won't be able to enjoy the dazzling electronic wizardry of the new Playstation 3 system starting tomorrow. Yet and still, those Sony sons-of-bitches will still get some of my money this weekend.

This is the "reboot" of the Bond franchise that so many filmgoers and critics have clamored for, a gritter, "ruff"er Bond -- Bond as a thug? Eh. I think I'm going to miss the corny quips, the lame villains, the random product placements, the over-the-top setpieces, all of that. But whatever, it's supposed to be good.

they should have gone down that path after goldeneye. the gadgets are cool, but not when they start to take away from bond's own abilities. he should be more of a badass in his own right. this is overdue.

James Bond! Seriously, the camera lingers on his unclothed body more than anyone else in the film. Seemed a little mimbo-ish (sp?) to me, even if... I guess... he is in pretty good shape. Crap. What't the thing you have to say on OKP after you say something suspect? Oh, that's right... COMPTON!

Movie was okay. I thought Craig was a good Bond. The whole poker thing to me was whatever. The best scene in the movie IMO probably happens a little too early in the picture. Enjoyable, but it didn't pass my big test for movies nowadays: does it seem to get better and better the longer it goes on, pulling you in more and more? It didn't, but it was still a good time and better than the last couple of Bond flicks.

The way it was being talked about, I expected the torture scene to be a lot worse. It actually came off pretty funny to me after awhile w/ Craig providing some nice comic relief.

<--- One of those days...

Loved the black & white @ the start as well as the opening credit seqence altho sans nude babes. Plenty of eye candy prevalent in the rest of the flick. A few nice surprises insteada cheap twists. I agree w/ the cat above in that 1 of the big action events that took place could've been placed later on in the movie but that's a minor gripe. At the same time I like that it starts off big, somewhat following the standard Bond movie M.O. The scene is also reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower scene in View to a Kill if I remember it correctly. Not sure if that was intentional tho.

The 1st scene w/ Bond & Vesper proved that Haggis does have some screenwriting skills afterall. That exchange is honestly worth the price of admission alone. Craig's already my favorite Bond but I gotta give Eva Green some credit as well. She continues to be great in everything I've seen her in so far & holds her own well right along side Bond. I cant say the same thing about most of the recent Bond boos. And yes that's directed towards Halle Berry, Teri Hatcher & Denise Richards for the most part since I've got no complaints w/ Sophie Marceau, Michelle Yeoh, or Famke Janssen. Caterina Murino deserved more screen time as I thought she was going to be used in a role similar to the 1 Talisa Soto (underated Bond boo) played in License 2 Kill. But her & Eva's characters do a wonderful job of showcasing how & why Bond is so nonchalant w/ women nowadays.

Easily the best since & even better than Goldeneye but nice choice bringin Martin Campbell back to direct this. Jeffery Wright has a nice role & plays it perfect as usual. And Mads Mikkelsen is everything you want in a Bond baddy toned down just enough tho to suit this new/redone era of Bondom. A very enjoyable flick on many levels.

But dont you know the pattern/unwritten rule by now?? In almost every Bond movie, theres always 2 main bond "boos", one that is HOT in every way, as in looks AND the way she carries herself, chemistry with Bond, etc. Then theres the other whom is there jus for her looks, and to easily fall for Bond..or whatever. Though I thought Berry was fine, nothing more, nothin less.(prolly jus proves my point further). Richards was blah...So was Hatcher, except she was still sexy. But yea I agree bout the others.

Oh yeah I get the premise

Though I thought Berry was fine

I cant remember what her 1st line was but the delivery was terrible & the chemistry between her & Bond never really improved from that point on.

, nothing more,
>nothin less.(prolly jus proves my point further). Richards was
>blah...So was Hatcher, except she was still sexy.

Hatcher looked horrible

I thought everything up to about the two hour mark was amazing. I feel like it really lost some steam at the end. Ending wasn't as satisfying as it could have been, but overall very good. They took it in a different direction, which it needed because it had definitely been in decline. Craig worked well. No real solid villians. Traditionally one of the strengths of Bond was in the interplay with the nemesises. In its place, it left the focus on Bond, turned out well but I think when they put the franchise on Craig's back they're going to need a worthy adversary to take it to the next level in the sequel (XXII).

I felt it was needed to understand the psychology of Bond.
This entire flick's purpose was to let us see Bond before he
became the smoothe cat we're used to. He was brutal yet looking for
something more in life than MI6. His experience with Vesper changed
his heart, and he became more of the Bond we know with experience.

They have did it in half the time. It made the movie drag.

in the original he was married and his wife was killed.

where Bond and that chick were having dinner on the train. And she goes something along the lines of:

"... and to you, women are disposable thrills instead of meaningful pursuits"

is that what she said? i liked that line, but can't recall exactly what she said.




by the by, i liked it. good reset to the series.

Great movie. Craig was everything I thought he would be. The love story dragged a little bit, a little too much beach love, but Eva was so hot I couldn't complain about any scenes with her. And excellent ending.

i went to the 4pm show, saw it, LOVED it and stayed for the 7:30

i'm sorry i doubted martin campbell because he really brought the goods. i thought Goldeneye was the best he could do. wrong.

and daniel craig is going to have people remembering Pierce Brosnan for Remington Steele and not his stint as Bond. i'm also sorry i ever thought clive owen should take the role especially over craig. he was born to play this role

looking equal parts rogue, leading man and eastern european goon. he's the most believable and interesting bond ever. poised yet primative.

the film has an incredible sense of rhythm and humor and handles its healthy running time well.

it's dialogue scense are easily as exciting and tense as any of its action scenes all of which are incredible.

to open w/ something on the scale of the parkour sequence takes balls and then to continually match and/or top it for the next two hours is almost unimaginable.

it's a shame movie's like this don't get best picture nods because i'd put my hat in the ring for this over anything i've seen this year especially something like The Departed.

a hell of a picture.

-------------------------------

A lot of you players ain't okay.

Chris's song was beyond weak....

My biggest fear going in was that they were going to take away those things that I happen to shamelessly dig about Bond movies, those things that I mentioned in the initial post here: the gadgets, the corny puns, the supervillains, the girls, the over-the-top action sequences, the explosions, etc. I really don't need to see Bond grounded in reality, or toned down.

Thankfully they kept those things that I liked, but simply decided to introduce or utilize them in different ways, which was fine. Though I did think the first chase scene went on a bit too long. But it was still fun and sufficiently over-the-top for me.

I understand the complaints about there being "too much love/romance," but as some have already pointed out, we had to see (and earn) the sufficient motivation for Bond to become what he's going to later become... you could clearly tell where Haggis' fingerprints were regarding the snappy dialogue between Bond and Vesper (or at least it seemed that way... it'd be funny if we learn on the DVD commentary that he didn't write that stuff at all)... did anyone catch the sly nod to the Bond girl names of the past, when Bond told Vesper he'd call her by a different name, something like Eva Chestout or something... and was it just me, or did he refer to ol' girl as a bitch late in the film, after it was all over?

I liked that the Eurotrash villain's stakes were more personal this time out, as opposed to having a super evil master plan to blow something up or seize control of something...

Why were folks hating on Martin Campbell? He only made what was the last best Bond "reboot" movie, Goldeneye, and has also done other quality work, such as The Mask of Zorro (yes, it was cool, stop frontin') and Vertical Limit. Surely we're not holding Beyond Borders against him?

And what was up with M starting every other sentence with "What the hell...?" Judi Dench looked like she was having a great time...

Fellas... the torture... yeah.

The theme sucked.

I missed Q. Perhaps we'll see him in the next one.

The more I think about it, the more critical I'll get (I'm hung over), but for now I'll say it was gritty, gutty, elegant, intelligent, and action-packed. Certainly the best Bond film since Goldeneye, and had 10-15 minutes been trimmed, it could be considered to be the best Bond film ever.

I was 2 busy laughing @ the delivery of, "The bitch is dead" to hear it.

I dont think they should've shown Vesper in the cage, in the water towards the end of the trailer because it was pretty obvious death scene IMO. Small gripe tho & didnt take away from my enjoyment of the film 2 much. Kind of a bad spoiler to show in a trailer tho I thought.

they don't plan on bringing him back as of yet
although given how well they worked every single cliche in this film if he did show up i have no doubt they'd do it right. it's eery how well they navigated the baggage this series carries. they shed what was uncessary, inverted and reworked what deserved to be salvaged and OWNED everything that needed to stay just as it was.

i saw it for a 3rd time today

it's so incredibly well crafted it is insane

campbell exhibits such control without suffocating the picture.

i forgot he did mask of zorro until i imdb'd him last night. this film is the fullfilment of every moment of promise he's shown. he really sank his teeth into this one.

if he can walk this walk for two more movies he'll be worth mentioning with the best action filmmakers of all time. i'll gladly throw his name in w/ siegel and peckinpah and the like if he can keep it up much less build upon the foundation he's laid down here.

and daniel craig. fuck. he gets his steve mcqueen on. classic action star. he's michael caine cum steve mcqueen and lee marvin cum cary grant and he's daniel craig. i didn't like layer cake and this film and his work in it won't make me. BUT my eyes are open now and i'm a true believer. and if someone gets around to doing something with stark's parker novels again they better craig should be a shoe in. he loses the accent and he's perfect. he's got the eyes for it.

oh, and eva green. the bond woman. who is equally gorgeous putting on make-up in a bathroom as she is floating across the casino floor wearing the fuck out her gown. she's perhaps her sexiest sitting across from bond in a black pant suit breaking bond's balls far more effectively than Le Chiffre and his length of rope.

-------------------------------

A lot of you players ain't okay.

We would have been better off with an okaycivics board instead of an okayactivist board

I happened to like Layer Cake, and thought he was good in Munich as well...

I'm pretty sure Q will fit right into the scheme of what they're trying to do tonally, that is if they keep the tone of the next movie similar to this one... hopefully they'll cast a younger cat just to reinforce the notion that this is a new Bond...

I also forgot to mention, as a side note, that the Bond films are another reason why I stay until the end credits are over. I love seeing that final "James Bond Will Return" title... remember when they would actually say a title ("James Bond Will Return in From A View To A Kill")?

I liked his performance in Layer Cake better than I liked the movie & the movie is far from terrible but not w/o its faults. To me he really 1st showed his chops in Road to Perdition & has been flexin em ever since.

Could have pulled out some length in the romance and poker scenes, but otherwise a top episode in the franchise. One of the best, no doubt.

Craig is a great choice. He delivered.

Oh, and the title sequence was bullshit. Bring back the girls and cheesy, but half-decent title songs. Cornell over those wanky strings was agonizing.

Thank you, Bo. Sorry we couldn't get it done.

I don't mind Bond flicks, usually end up catching the new one when there's nothing else for us to go see or rent

but yall got me a little hype now...I liked Craig in Layer Cake (didn't care for the movie itself all that much)

--------

What I liked:

- A lot. Daniel Craig looks like he'll be a great Bond.
- Best Bond girls in years.
- Great one liners, and even some of the best bits were when Craig didn't even say anything. His straight faced posturing was hilarious.
- Style was so much better than the recent Bond films. The almost total lack of CGI and stupid gadgets (invisible cars anyone?) improved things 200%.
- Generally the first 1hr 45 mins were as good as any bond ever I'd say.

What I didn't like:

- The length. Last 45 mins or so dragged on waaaaay too long. Editors should've taken out at least 30 mins outta that film.
- That damn awful Chris Cornell song.
- The lack of serious villains. i mean Le Chiffre was cool and all but for fucks sake he had no plan to ransom the world/destroy the world/or do anything more than blow up a goddam prototype plane and make some cash. Poor show. I wanna see some crazed madmen intent on mass destruction.

Conclusion:

A much needed revamp of the franchise done really well. Could so easily have been great great. In the end its just a damn good Bond film, mainly due to the lazy editing. Still, seeing how its just Daniel Craig's first flick, I think we could be in for some real classic Bond films in the next few years.

It looked like that was maybe a rental car & didnt look 2 shabby 4 a Ford. Plus it was a great set up 4 the quick upgrades he made back 2 back on rollin better rides.

esp. about setting him up for upgrading. But still it just smacked of bullshit sponsorship, and even if it was a rental, u think Bond would be getting some nice convertable at the very least!

Daniel Craig IS Bond.

Loved the realism involved, though like Zootown said it kept enough craziness in.

Opening sequence was great, and I hope they keep delving into his backstory.

And most importantly, no "I thought Christmas only came once a year." That line was worse than the invisible car speeding toward the ice palace.

for me, this is at a tie with from russia with love as my favorite of the bond movies. after i see it a few more times will tell me whether i prefer this overall.

dialogue was great! much needed in the franchise.

action sequences showed off bond's efficiency as an agent rather than some average joe.

eva green and caterina murino did a great job! intelligent characters and sexy as hell. not enough of murino unfortunately! aside from the song, that was my only gripe. lol.

anyway, i'll be seeing this a few more times.

It was horribly, horribly, horribly, horribly written.

Best part of the whole thing was that my friend is a manager at a movie theatre, so I saw a private screening, just me and 5 of my friends. We were yellin and getting excited and booing during the love lines. It was tons of fun.

I will like this one if they make the next one a bit of a prequel as well so that we can see him really become a sociopath, because in this one he still had some regret, which he never had before. I did enjoy the portrayal of women through Eva though.

I give rappers the biz for being m-izza-a-archaic.

I think you will like it if you are a James Bond fanatic.

But really, it was average at best.

<--- we've got bush!

i liked the REBOOT angle, and showing
how this guy went from a tough 007
to ruthless ass 'BOND, JAMES BOND...'

(of course, the movie almost jumped
the shark at the end with the overdone
love angle...BOND'S 'i love you' seemed
to come way to quickly and easily...)

(and the african running and jumping
like a monkey was really back on some
imperial, semi-racist british stee)

overall though, the movie was very
dope and i liked how they went back
to the old LIVE AND LET DIE era
tradition of giving the villains
cool quirks and just as much style
and menace as BOND.


yo, it was also very good to see
bond back on that INTERNATION THUGGISM
that sean connery made famous. gadgets
are cool, but what made BOND a 'white guy
icon' was sean connery basically playing a
smooth irish beat cop, kicking ass and pimping
women all over the world.

i'm already prepared to annoint this
cat as the best bond since connery.
