[Punkage]

well at least they arent sitting around playing poker most of the time...could be good

[Cuckoo For Caca]

Looks like it could be the best one since LTK.

It also looks like they've got a couple of decent Bond girls and Mathieu Amalric should make up for Craig's lack of charisma.

licence to kill was wank.

[Internets]

licence to kill was wank.False. It's quite easily in the Top 5 Bond films of all time. As is The Living Daylights, truth be told.

[Markoos]

As is The Living Daylights, truth be told.

I agree with this part.

[one devils st.]

False. It's quite easily in the Top 5 Bond films of all time. As is The Living Daylights, truth be told.

Living daylights, yes, but no way does LTK come anywhere near:

From Russia With Love,
Live and Let Die,
The Spy Who Loved Me,
Goldfinger,
On Her Majesty's Secret Service,
and even (and this really hurts)
Goldeneye

[Andy]

On Her Majesty's Secret Service,


Worst Bond film.

[Jonnysus]

Worst Bond film.

fail. the last Peirce Brosnan one was.

Stick the best of the lot in there Casino Royale and that is pretty much my fave list.

[Markoos]

My favourites:

Casino Royale (by some way. Bite me)
The Living Daylights
Goldeneye

Don't care much for the old ones tbh.

[Andy]

I do think that Casino Royale was one of the most enjoyable Bond films to date.

[one devils st.]

Worst Bond film.

indubitably, not.

[dave penberthy]

On the subject of bond the company i work for made some safety devices for the new bond film we have been told we will be attending a special screening before its release,which probably means the boss will be going and none of us grunts.

[bik]

bond with invisible car was the worst.

i approve too of this, despite my hang ups that this would actually be about bond leaping into other peoples bodys and fixing lives.


Craigs body doesn't seem as fit and in CR

[Edinburgh]

Worst Bond film.

Only an idiot thinks that.

[Andy]

I'm an idiot then. :rolleyes:

[Mez]

Oh my god !!! just jizzed hahahaha i fricken love bond ! i will be at the cinemas sharp!

my favourite bonds are (in no order)

You Only Live Twice
The Living Daylights
Octopussy
Tomorrow Never Dies
Dr No
Casino Royale (2006)

most of the rest are ace but these stand out for me.

[Cuckoo For Caca]

fail. the last Peirce Brosnan one was.

Wronger.

Dia Another Day is still in the top 10 or so Bond films.

[Miss 616]

Worst Bond film.

wouldnt that be the original Casino Royale (though I kinda like it)

My faves are

Casino Royale
OHMSS (always used to hate this)
Goldeneye
Live and Let Die (again, wasnt my fave when I was younger)

[Tim]

I do think that Casino Royale was one of the most enjoyable Bond films to date.

Hate Daniel Craig. Hated that film.

Goldeneye is my fave as it takes me back to my youth.

Shortly followed by Dr. No, The Man with the Golden Gun and Moonraker.

[Heartbox]

I approve.

I don't. I remember when Bond was all about Espionage. Casino Royale was enjoyable, but I found it hard to identify it as a Bond film. He's just an action hero, you might as well have got Arnie to play him, because there's nothing unique about the series any more.

licence to kill was wank.

Lies. One of the best. Watch it again, then watch Die Another Day and you will see the difference between a good and a bad Bond film.

fail. the last Peirce Brosnan one was.

Agree. It overtook Moonraker and View To A Kill for me.

[Cuckoo For Caca]

Wronger.

Dia Another Day is still in the top 10 or so Bond films.

Bond Films That Aren't As Good As Die Another Day:

Moonraker
View To A Kill
Octopussy
You Only Live Twice
The Man With The Golden Gun
Diamonds Are Forever
The World Is Not Enough

Sod it, in my opinion it's better than Tomorrow Never Dies and The Spy Who Loved me, too.

This is a reboot of the franchise though like Batman Begins. The new Bond isn't as experienced and does things his own way. I personally like it , i just hope his car actually does something in this one gadgets wise. I think Daniel Craig makes a good Bond.

I think what makes Die Another Day a bit rubbish in comparison is the weak ending with all that Icarus Project stuff. Although Bond has never been realistic , it made it a bit too unrealistic. I thought the body changing twist was a bit cheesy too , again Bond is a man of cheese but this was too much.
Good things about the film were the fact that Bond was rivaled by a better car with better gadgets. The hovercraft chase at the beginning was cool too!

[Heartbox]

In chronological order, the best Bonds IMO:

From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
You Only Live Twice
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Live and Let Die
For Your Eyes Only
Living Daylights
Licence to Kill
Goldeneye

[Cuckoo For Caca]

I don't see what was wrong with Die Another Day.

It had the best title sequence in years, the best pre-title sequence of all Bond films, the plot was ridiculously over the top, it had loads of great action sequences, Brosnan had the right amount of suaveness and cheesyness. I think the director tried a bit too hard at times, but overall it's definitely a solid film and ended Brosnan's career on a high.

And it was better than Casino Royale.

[Internets]

Casino Royale didn't do nearly enough to convince me that it was a 're-imagining' or reboot of the Bond Franchise. It was basically the same as the others with the over-the-top set pieces.

[Heartbox]

When they said "We're taking Bond back to his roots", I thought "Great. Back to being a spy". But nothing has changed. If you look through the films chronologically, they've lowered the amount of believable espionage, and upped the amount of action and stunts. He is just another action-hero. I realize there needs to be action, gadgets and stunts, as they're an established part of the genre...but all Casino Royale was, was a continuation not a re-invention.

And I like Craig as an action-hero...he's brutal but thoughtful...but he's so rough around the edges...Bond will always be a gentleman spy to me.

[Cuckoo For Caca]

Basically, they've made Bond uglier, taken the charm and charisma away from him and made him less 'James Bond' and more 'Friday Night Doorman'. In trying to making him a more believable Bond they actually did the opposite and made him unbelievable.

If they were rebooting the series focusing on James Bond's roots they should have chosen somebody who actually looked like a spy. Somebody who looked more like an accountant than a boxing champion.

Daniel Craig acted more like a chavvy Vinne-Jones type character, except a bit more wimpish and with a silly, mumbling accent.

[Heartbox]

I'm of the opinion to truly reboot it, you should set it in the early 60s, make it very cool and suave, fill it with cold-war intrigue, cast it with a believable spy (ie not someone who sticks out like an enormously toned rugged man).

[procopius]

The Bond of the books is far and away the best of them. And Craigbond comes the nearest of the cinematic ones. Plus, a great long scene of gay bondage porn right there in the cinema. WIN.

All the above are miles better than Die Another Day apart from Octopussy.

[Jimmy Lightfoot]

The Bond of the books is far and away the best of them. And Craigbond comes the nearest of the cinematic ones.

I'd argue that Dalton is closer, then Connery and then Craig.

My favourites:
OHMSS
From Russia With Love
Licence To Kill
Live and Let Die
A View To A Kill (Only for Christopher Walken as a nazi test tube baby who puts micro chips into horses....and Patrick McNee, or however you spell his name, dude from the Avengers).

I wish Patrick MacGoohan had taken the role of Bond when it was offered to him.

The Brosnan films started bad and got worse. I think the only reason people like 'Goldeneye' is because of the awesome video game. 'Die Another Day' is good until Bond breaks out of that cell.

New trailer...


:O ::power::

[one devils st.]

wow. that looks mint. Gotta be better than Rocknrolla, tho.

[dave penberthy]

Top film yet again from Mr Craig who yet again proves he his the best bond,for those who might be going to see this film be advised watch Casino Royale first because you will be wondering what the hell is going on.

[Train_of_Thought]

watched casino royale for the 1st time last week. Enjoyed it quite a lot, apart from the occasional cheesy bond-ism (i guess they have to throw those in) some shocking dialogue and wooden delivery from craig. But a lot better than the brosnan shite fests. Hopefully see the new one on wednesday, and looking forward to it!

[Drunknmunky]

fave bond films are:

License To Kill
Casion Royale
A view to a Kill ( Christopher Walken FFS!)
Live and Let Die
Goldeneye
The Spy Who Loved me
License to Kill

ONHMSS - no were near the top purely on the basis that George Lazenby was beyond shite!! Terrible film!!!

[Internets]

I'm watching it tonight. I enjoyed Casino Royale, but it was nowhere near the departure from previous Bond adventures that we were promised. I'm not sure it needed the crazy 4th act that appears from nowhere.

The second Licence to Kill was meant to be From Russia With Love, right?

[Andy]

Right, I saw Quantum of Solace and I love the Bond series of films as a whole, but I thought QoS was shit. I was bored throughout.

whats going on son ?


i thought it was cool but a little short.

[Davos]

I don't mind Bond films, unless Roger Moore is in them, then I completely hate them. Lazenby was a gash Bond also.

Connery was a good Bond, but the films are dated to bits now.

Daniel Craig is by far the best Bond, which isn't to say he's brilliant or anything, he just has better scripts and direction working for him.

Appearance-wise, Brosnan is the one who looks most like Bond should look, but he's also a smug bastard, so he can f*ck off. And the only good thing Timothy Dalton has ever done was that documentary with the wolves, which was good. Shite Bond though.

I'd twat the lot of them in a fight, soft bastards. Except Connery.

[jesperado]

I liked Quantum of Solace. It was less ridiculous than Casino Royale and quite similar to Licence to Kill which was ace. Dominic Greene is a good Bond villian.

[Internets]

I dislike how they've re-released For Your Eyes Only under the banner of Quantum Of Solace.

[bik]

was ok. great set pieces and action, nifty Mise en scène fitting for the Bond Universe.Craig was stoney as in Casio Royale with cheese. Fields was underused,righteously slutty and way hotter than the other bird he never boned. a bice continuation from Royale, but now it needs to move away from the whole Vespa thing. nice way to explain Quantum btw. and very snappy. the film does fly by. its raw, pretty much gadget-less too

basically, you liked the first craig outing you'll like this too imo.

[Cuckoo For Caca]

Just been to see this. Really enjoyed it. I liked the lack of a plot and the focus on just a couple of characters instead of trying to develop characters who we don't care about. It was a bit messy at times, though, wasn't it? Some of the Woe-is-Bond moments were done pretty badly, too. Maybe they're really aiming for the new James Bond to be a bit of a spastic in regards to emotion and intelligence.

The direction was pretty good, I thought, aside from the vertigo-inflicted cameraman at the beginning. Probably the best action film I've seen in awhile. It ws good not to have to use my brain or pay attention at all.

The Goldfinger homage was a nice touch, too.

[Cuckoo For Caca]

But I do have to say that once again the theme tune sucked ass.

And who put the title sequence in the wrong place?

[Cuckoo For Caca]

I'm going to add that it wasn't really what I was expecting, but the more I've thought about it the more I think it's one of the best Bond films.

And I'm surprised nobody is talking about this anymore.

[Samuel]

Incidentally, are the books a good read or are the as dull as the borne identity was?

[Cuckoo For Caca]

Incidentally, are the books a good read or are the as dull as the borne identity was?

Pretty dull at times, but some of them are great. Casino Royale, Live And Let Die and Moonraker are excellent. Was quite disappointed with From Russia With Love, what with it being one of my favourite films of all time.

[Fugazi]

I'm going to add that it wasn't really what I was expecting, but the more I've thought about it the more I think it's one of the best Bond films.

And I'm surprised nobody is talking about this anymore.

Okay, I'll talk about it.

I'm pretty convinced that they must be putting some sort of smack in the popcorn, because I've seen Casino Royale now, and any pillock can see that it's barely a Bond film, let alone the best Bond film, and yet scores of otherwise intelligent people apparently wandered out of the theatres going "Hmmm... Best Bond yet!"

Now to my mind it would be unfair to completely trash Casino Royale seeing as how it functions as an action film and it looks nice, however I fail to see how it can be the "best" of a series when it features none of the things that gave the series its charm.

For the past few decades, we've had a series in which a tall, dark, arrogantly handsome man saunters around in a tuxedo enjoying a lot of free booze, fast cars and loose women in some of the most breathtaking holiday resorts on the planet, pausing only to make bad puns. Oh, and also to foil hilariously unlikely underworld plots using a selection of joke-shop gadgets and a seemingly endless supply of luck. All at the behest of a bunch of stuffy British desk-jockeys who mutter and sigh at his reckless extravagances, but put up with them because he's basically superhuman.

What has the "rebooted" franchise given us so far? A scrappy little potato-headed tosspot who prats around looking like an upmarket bouncer, flippantly insulting everyone, falling head over heels for some po-faced tranny who somehow manages to drown herself in a lift, and apparently enjoying being repeatedly bashed in the scrotum by some dude with conjunctivitis.

I haven't seen Quantum of Solace. I'm not all that interested, frankly. I have it on reasonable authority that if you changed the main characters' names you wouldn't even recognise it as a Bond film, so why bother?

So this new Bond series sucks. I honestly got more of a Bond fix watching Brosnan trade clunky innuendo with Madonna than I did from watching the whole of Casino Royale, and by all accounts QoS is more, and worse.

I'll start watching again when they reintroduce the following:

- Q and his ridiculous gadgets
- Proper big band theme tunes
- Supervillain-style bad guys with giant f*cking lasers
- A Bond who doesn't look like a football player
- Writers who aren't Paul Haggis, Neal Purvis or Robert Wade

[Miss 616]

found it enjoyable but not as much as Casino Royale

had a few too many old-school things which wish they'd come up with new ways to be exciting (such as the speed boat chase and the big explosions at the end)

but on the whole not bad and liked how they tied up storylines from the 1st. LOVED how they are setting and developing the scene for the big 'evil secret organisation' so am looking forward to the next one.

[Cuckoo For Caca]

I thought Craig was more in-line with the Bond of the books, especially the earlier ones. To me, Quantum of Solace felt more like a proper James Bond film since, well since OHMSS. I don't mean that in a "proper James Bond film with hilarious gags and innuendoes and funky gadgets."
