Anyone seen it?
First off, I usually think James Bond movies suck for the most part, childish nonsense (especially the Brosnan stuff - invisible car? f off)
However, I watched Casino Royale last night and went and seen QoS today, and have to say I'm now a fan again! ____________________ Suzuki GSX-R750K4 ~ Mivv GP |

Is that not the Bond fanatics that's hating on it?
I think the same reason I like it, is the reason they dislike it.
It's really just an action movie where the main character happens to be named James Bond... as opposed to a "James Bond movie" ..if that makes sense  ____________________ Suzuki GSX-R750K4 ~ Mivv GP |

Looking forward to it, if Casino Royale was anything to go by.
However, why does everyone hate Brosnan as bond so much, the last two were a bit crap, especially the invisible car/ice palace malarky.
But Goldeneye was a cracking film, people said similar things at the time, as they did about Casino Royale, people seem to have forgotten. Tomorrow never dies wasn't a bad effort either, no real cause for complaint although its been a while since I've seen it.
Is it fair to criticise a formally good bond for his latter day sins? ____________________ So in other words, he stopped you for being flagrantly in posession of a motorcycle in direct contravention of the Hippies, Darkies and People Whose Face I Don't Like The Look of (Police Powers) Act. 1976 |

Like I said, I'm not a Bond fan, haven't been since I was a kid, but as I had agreed to go see the new one with the guys at work and ITV2 had been showing a few of them last week (do they ever stop actually?) - I tuned into Goldeneye, I lasted 1hr 20m before the bullshit got too much
I fell asleep the next night during Tomorrow Never Dies. *shrugs*
Nothing against Brosnan, liked him in other things. ____________________ Suzuki GSX-R750K4 ~ Mivv GP |

i found the new james bond quite good. my girlfriend who does not normally like james bond found quantum of solace quite action filled which kept her interest, while the older ones concentrated on too much of a plot. ____________________ Hit the G spot.  |

Can't say I was impressed with Casino Royal. Seemed the they were so busy thinking of ways to do real stunts that they forgot to give it much of a story.
All the best

Hahaha! You're getting funnier by the day Keith!
The reason why CS has no plot to speak of, is because it is based closely upon the original Ian Fleming book of the same name.
Now, I'm going to say something rather shocking here, and all of the Fleming afficionados will probably attack me but:
He isn't all that good a writer. Sure, He's good at descriptive writing, and he's OK at action but plot was never all that much of a strong point. Nor characterisation.
The books are successful in the same way that the films are. They are brain-out entertainment. If you want characterisation or plot then watch something else. If you want agonisation over whether or not you're doing the right thing then watch Munich or the Boring identity.
If you want action, watch CS (and hopefully QoS).
However... despite me liking brain out entertainment My brain obviously still works in the background, else I would have actually enjoyed Die another day. What a pile of steaming poo.
Has no one noticed that all James Bond films have exactly the same plot and format?
Pre credits James finishes off previous mission by doing something spectacular.
Credits.
Post credits - tenuous link between pre credit sequence established and mission outlined. Bond flies somewhere exotic
Bad guy plots
Bond meets contact who tells Bond about bad guy (we aren't always sure he's a bad guy at this point, but deep down... we know.)
Bond has a few fights and car chases getting closer to bad guy
Contact/chick gets killed
Bond finds way to get to bad guy's lair
Bond confronts bad guy but is captured or fails in some way
Bad guy plots
Bond succeeds in getting one over on bad guy - climactic fight/battle/explosions
Bond saves day, ends up with girl and says a witty one liner.
The end. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F; Cheap project: CBR900RR FireBlade
