I think Bond looks like Vladimir Putin.

That is all.

Since I can't think of anything exciting to do or get on my birthday, I'm going to see this with my mom. 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.

It was decent. I feel as if I liked it a lot less than most people.

It seems to me that this is less like Bond more like Bourne.

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.

I thought Casino Royale was good until about the ending of the movie. 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.

The only one I have trouble staying away during is Tomorrow Never Dies

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.

Just got back. I think I liked Casino Royale more, but still quite enjoyable. Every time she's on screen, I like M more.

Just got back, I actually liked this movie much more than Casino Royale. 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.

Seeing it tomorrow, I'm pumped up.

And is the intro song the Alicia Keys/Jack White song? That's an awesome song.

I'll jump into the pool of people, who thought the Bond Meets Bourne thing was iffy.

However, I still liked the film.

I really liked it. 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"
