It looks like an interesting movie. I like how they threw a little more emotion in this Bond and made him more human than they have with most of the other bond movies. Oh, I have no idea what the title of the movie means, but I know it 'sounds' cool. ![]() |

Not that Bond can't have emotion it just seems like the Dead Girlfriend/Rogue Agent thing is a little...overdone. Still I could be proven wrong, this guy is my favorite Bond with the exception of freakin Connery. Also Casino Royal was epic. |

If I recall correctly(I only watched the movie once), I felt like it was one of those movies that should have 'just ended' yet it kept on going on for another half hour. Other than that though, I enjoyed the new portrayal of Bond. |

Either way, I am definitely seeing this film. EDIT: Oh, and the reason Casino Royale may feel long is that the entire first hour was created just for the movie, the novel begins with Bond going straight to the Casino. | |

It was a decent mix between the older Bond movies and the new direction taken in the previous film. On the plus side, the tempo was consistent and I really like the pithy dialogue...however, I felt there was a bit too much action and it felt like I was watching a Bourne movie at times. Also, the plot was kinda meh. Worth the money though. Oh, I liked the intro song a lot too. |

Sure, it's not traditional Bond, but "Bourne Bond" is still awesome. Plus, my Bond experience is much better without stupid one-liners such as "I THOUGHT CHRISTMAS ONLY CAME ONCE A YEAR HAHAHA GET IT HER NAME IS CHRISTMAS AND WE JUST ****ED" |
