    I liked it, probably not the best bond movie ever but had some decent action sequences in it. Definitely could have been better.


    now to those who have seen it: Are Jason and I the only ones who saw the vagina on the chick getting "raped" by the general towards the end? I mean it was clear as day to me. the camera man was clearly aiming at her crotch, and BAM there it was. You barely even get to see tits in a bond flick, but hoohoo? i mean come on!

    i almost feel like perhaps they wrote casino royale and this one together and had to split them up.

    Seemed like more action and less typical Bond.But he was different in the last one too.Worth watching if you like action movies .

    I like the new Bond films. They are more realistic and a little darker (meaning he kills a lot more people). Sure it lacks the stuff that makes a Bond movie a Bond movie, but I like where this next generation is going.


    And yes, I did catch the vagina lol

    I'm watching CR now since I didn't pay attention the first time and the two movies tie together.

    I haven't seen it yet. I have it downloaded, but it is a family tradition to go see any new Bond movie in theaters around Thanksgiving, when they are always released.

    With that said, I hated Casino Royalle. Not that it was a bad movie, but it wasn't Bond. There were little to no gadgets, and little to no emphasis on cars. These are 2 things that make a Bond movie a Bond movie. Like I said, it was not a bad movie, but they should not have called it Bond. Make the new guy James Bonds replacement, call the movie 008 The Next Generation or something like that, and I would have been all about it.

    Kind of like the first Final Fantasy movie. If they would have called it something else, and not tried to tie it to the video game, it would have been a decent computer animated movie. It was nothing like any of the games, so trying to make it a movie based on the game failed.

    I really like this one, I think it had more action and killing on purpose because it was supposed to show a darker side of the character. I really didn't like casino royal though

    While I agree on the lack of Aston Martin, most of the early bond flicks were much grittier and had far fewer gadgets than the Pierce Brosnan era stuff. I personally thought Bond's first kill in the last movie was fucking righteous. It was so messy and.....realistic. I've always thought he was too perfect, too clean. And so this was refreshing. I thought it was badass.

    We need more Aston in both of these movies, though. Its just not fair.
