Let me be the first to play the.. this is gonna succ bad, catastrophically bad card on the "new" James Bond.

Sean Connery, as the only, real James Bond, would NEVER do a remake. There is only one, Casino Royale.

Rest in peace Bond. We knew you well.

you must really hate us to link to aol...

is that the first bond preview to not give the ole....bond...james bond?

he died with that pencil neck Pierce Brosnan.

[crawfish]

He needs to die. It's cruel to let him continue to suffer like this.

[NormanPride]

...What.

This is a joke, right? He doesn't look like a silly playboy in this one, which is what James Bond is. He looks like a hardened commando who tries to joke because he thinks he should. THIS IS NOT JAMES BOND. THIS IS SHAM McSHAMSALOT.

it's the skinny greasy guy from Layer Cake.

[Tear Down This Wall]

Another thread about how crappy Hollywood is, how bereft of original ideas. Maybe, just maybe you can forgive the cheesy modern send-ups of Scooby, the Addams Family, and Josie and the *****cats...but this? Hey, Hollywood cokeheads, why not just remake Gone With The Wind and Casa Blanca? Or, why not bastardize Eastwood's Man With No Name line of films with your new, crappy actors and actresses?

Hollywood is a suck.

[TUSooner]

Hey. I LIKE it. This cold-blooded Bond looks more like Connery's Bond (and Ian Fleming's) than the the parade of over-slicked-up and sissified imposters that started with Roger Moore (except G. Lazenby). And I've read all the books and seen the films and I'm older than most of y'all so

I'm glad I'm not the only person who remembers that James Bond is a stone-cold killer, ruthless and hard. Roger Moore killed the "original" Bond ideal with his constant buffoonery.

Timothy Dalton.

I beg to suggest that Pierced Brosnan was even more suckier than Dalton. Brosnan was the nadir of the sissy Bonds. The new woman M (Judy Dench?) was more manly than Brosnan. I wanted to take baseball bat (or maybe a cricket bat) to his stupid smirky mouth. Good riddance !

I'm willing to bet that less than 5% of this board has seen Casino Royale. I'm with Bri on this Bond being more of a bad ***! It's what Fleming wanted- a straight up killah.

[bri]

I'd suggest everyone actually READ Fleming's Casino Royale before you whine about what Bond is "supposed" to be.

Nothing p*sses a Bond purist off more than a bunch of posers whining about 007 being hard-core...;)

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

Hi everyone - my name is BSG and I have never...in my entire long life...seen a James Bond movie. Not that I don't want to or dislike them or anything...I just never have.

I read Thunderball and Dr. No. He was a bad ***.

[NormanPride]

Have you seen Star Wars? Office Space? Do you know what a movie is?

:D


Anyway, I don't mind Bond kicking ***, but to me what made him awesome was the effortlessness with which he handled every situation. Even Connery was relaxed all the time. I agree flippant and sissy is crap, but Brosnan was pretty hard-core after all the torture and stuff in Die Another Day (I believe).

[TexasLidig8r]

Surely, you jest ! (I know, don't call you Shirley).

I don't know if Dalton ever had a chance. His films were sucktastic. Living Daylights is in the bottom 3 of Bond films on my list.

His casting was an attempt to revive the tough-guy Bond. But the movies weren't that great, as I recall. (I shamefully admit that I might have missed one or two.

Great idea. I need to read that - and all of them - again.

I wonder if this new movie is any way similar to the book. I know it can't be like the original comedy flick.

It's gonna stick to the book. They're doing a "reboot" of the series, like what they did with Batman Begins. They'll pay some lip service to some of the established continuity, such as Dame Judi Dench reprising M, but other than that this starts the series anew. Bond accepts his "00" status in the pre-credit sequence, and this is his first mission after becoming a 00 agent.

I just wish that worthless f*ckhole Kevin McClory would let EON use Blofeld and S.P.E.C.T.R.E. again. The series really suffers when you don't have ONE big bad guy to take on...plus Ernst Stavro Blofeld is just a bad *ss. :D

[TUSooner]

I see he's driving an Aston Martin again. That's good.

[bri]

Yes, and THANK GOD. That foray into Lotus- and BMW-land was an affront. :D

If I were to pick one to start with, it'd have to be Goldfinger. It's the quintessential classic Bond story/movie, and the one-liners are kickin'.

After that, I'd watch On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Diamonds Are Forever (in that order, they're a linked story).

Start at Dr. No. You won't know who the f*ck S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is without it. You can skip From Russia With Love (even though it's one of my top 5 favorites) and pick back up with Goldfinger and Thunderball.

Trouble with Dr. No is, of all the Connery movies, it looks the most dated now. It's a little long-ish for the story and it's kinda slow in parts. I was trying to point BSG to one that had a better feel to it/appeal to casual fans.

I don't think Goldfinger worked for SPECTRE anyway, did he? I thought he was a solo.

True, I forgot that Auric worked alone. Well, he was working with the Red Chinese.

And various Mob families.

And a fleet of lesbian stunt pilots.

I'm most curious to see what Bond will be drinking in this flick. He wasn't drinking a "medium dry vodka martini...shaken, not stirred" yet in Casino Royale. In fact, he creates a drink and names it after the girl in the book, Vesper Lynd. I'm too lazy to look up what all goes into the Vesper, but Fleming actually gives the complete recipe...:D

I once went to the bar a pretty posh restaurant and orderd a "James Bond martini." The guy said, "Oh, it's called a __________." Maybe he said Vesper, but this is my day not to remember stuff. :rolleyes:

[SoonerAtKU]

From Russia With Love is far and away my favorite, but it is best watched later in the series, after you dip into the awful Moore years. This allows you to appreciate the truly unique features of Connery doing a great job in a great story.

Goldfinger is amazing, and be sure to notice the musical cues in the score that you might recognize from the song "Six Underground" by the Sneaker Pimps.

I personally hated Diamonds Are Forever, but most people love that one, so that's good.

Thunderball is slow in parts, but it's a great story with some great locations and underwater work.

You Only Live Twice is great and more action-y than some of the other early films, which rocks.

[TUSooner]

....I'm too lazy to look up what all goes into the Vesper, but Fleming actually gives the complete recipe...:D
Fleming was also great about going into ridiculous detail about other stuff, like Bond's wardrobe: Lots of Sea Island cotton shirts, I think. And when Bond needed to get in top physical condition, he cut back to 10 custom-made cigarettes per day. :D

I DO love From Russia..., and it is one of the "must see" movies in the series. Diamonds is pure dreck, but everyone loves all the knockers on display. It makes me sad in my pants that Connery came back for that one. You Only Live Twice is awesome because it has NINJAS. :D

[bri]

The Vesper IS the the medium dry vodka martini that Bond invents in Casino Royale. I don't know why I thought it was something different...

The Vesper:
3 ounces gin
1 ounce vodka
½ ounce Lillet blonde
Shake ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of lemon peel

[SicEmBaylor]

I respectfully and painfully have to disagree with my good friend and distinguished gentleman Mr. Lid. I shared his assumptions about Daniel Craig and the succage of Casino Royale, but after finally seeing it (and being the Bond enthusiast that I am) I have to say that it was fantastic. Craig was much much better than I assumed he'd be.

[picasso]

it's the skinny greasy guy from Layer Cake.
I must say he ain't skinny anymore. and he's a great Bond. I also liked him in Munich.

my bro says he looks like a Russian.

He does look slavic.

[Hatfield]

i am glad that Craig took a dump on all his critics by playing a masterful turn at Bond.

[sanantoniosooner]

I put it in my list

[TexasLidig8r]

Upon further review....

If Craig holds true to his characterization of Bond in additional movies..he has the potential to live up to, if not, surpass, the gold standard of Bonds... Sean Connery.

I haven't seen a James Bond film probably since the mid 70s, but I'd like to see this one when it comes out in DVD.

I remember going to the cinema to see "Diamonds are Forever" and "Live and Let Die" when I was a kid. They made me happy in my pants when I didn't even know what that meant. Yeah, most of these old movies are so dated now, but James Bond was the height of coolness and sophistication back then for a kid from Madill.

My third favourite Bond film is the “Man with a Golden Gun” and that’s only because it was filmed in Hong Kong and Thailand. Bottoms Up in Hong Kong was my first topless bar, so happy in pants feeling all over again thanks to the James Bond coolness and sophistication.

And, there is the canal chase scene in Bangkok and the thumbnail island landing scene in Krabbi province (close, but not actually Phuket). Yeah, I said Krabbi!

Coolness and sophistication. I’m glad they brought the franchise back. Did James Bond go into any topless joints this time?

[Hatfield]

it is out on dvd...has been for about a month

[achiro]

I thought it sucked. Very little action, no cool "toys" Bond came across as very unstable mentally. Just not my idea of a good Bond flick.

just old fashioned butt kicking.

I want some of that positive spek hammer, Jed!

Oh yah, I LOVED CASINO ROYALE! I had my doubts about Craig til I saw it...but he really stayed pretty true to Ian Fleming's character, and I was impressed.

The greatest will always be Sean Connery followed by Pierce Brosnan (and Craig has the very real potential to usurp him for the #2 slot), Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Lazenboy.

A friend of mine pointed out that in the new Bond movie, you could isolate the difference between the sexes.

You are right. This was the best James Bond since Gold Finger. The guy playing JB was actually believable in the role of a government-sponsored hit man(which is what 007 is supposed to be). This JB had a lot more intensity, action without all of the stupid gimmickry and hard-to-believe plots.

Heh, I was glad he finally got behind the wheel of an Aston Martin. I was ready to discount the movie when he showed up to that club driving a Ford Focus or whatever the hell it was.

I noticed they changed some of the traditional things that are in every Bond movie like for instance when they asked if he wanted his martini shaken or stirred he replied, "what the hell do I care?"

However, Craig is making a run at decency. I like him.

[bluedogok]

I thought it was pretty good, much more edgy than most of the later Bond movies. I liked most of the Roger Moore ones, I just saw them as something different from the Connery ones. I think he did a pretty good job moving from The Saint TV series (now on BBC America (http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/181/index.jsp)) into the Bond role at that time so it was pretty much a natural transition for him and the series but I think some of the screenplays were more the problem than Moore himself.

I had no problem with them going to the Lotus cars back then, even as an Aston fan their cars just were not really "Bond worthy" at that point.

I'm a fan of the Bond movies and this is one of the better Bond films ever. But the Bond is a little too unemotional at times. I would put this up there with The Spy Who Loved Me, Dr No, and

Conery is still the best with From Russia With Love and Goldfinger. Goldeneye was the last great Bond film before Royale.

odkay, I bought the official DVD and watch it already.

One of the best bond movies yet, I agree.

But that new bond guy has a huge hooker nose. But, that's okay because it gets beat up most of the time and when he smiles, it is like he's pretty insane and that part looks realistic.

I never quite got the torture chair thingy. I just guess it implies that it has two big pairs. Not sharks or lazer splitting him in half, but it still made me more than a bit uncomfortable.

The girl thang had a pretty good twist. I was thinking, girlfriend, you don't go making yourself too easy now, wait nearer to the credits.

Overall pretty good flick.
