I have to say my only complaints with this Bond flick are as follows:
----The song FUCKING sucked. as did the music video for it...
----The B&W cinematography was magnificent but has no place In this franchise.
----The dripping blood in the intro was CHEESY and ruined the intro for me, entirely. They should have kept that part of the Bond Intro format alone.
aside from that this Bond was fresh and clean. cool villains, not all hollywood bullshit envolved and left you with something much bigger than you thought it would halfway into the movie.
Craig is a good Bond.

Good movie. It was a little too long, and I hated the gun barrel. Everything else was awesome.

what still amazes me is that the intro didn't have the usual contours of dancing naked women. it left me totally flabbergasted. personally, i think it makes people think the titletrack sucks. subconsciously. when in fact it doesn't suck half as much. it's just pavlov doing it's magic.

Dont let him fool you.
The title sequence really did suck. It was completely unimaginative.
the graphics sucked so bad it looked as if it were a poorly done N64 game intro at parts. really cheesy.
the rest of the movie is worth it!

nice try, but this only proves you're being high on pavlov yourself, of course. if the intro had its share of contour everything would be fine.
seriously, i didn't mind the graphics though. and the soundtrack, well, it's one of those instances you can learn to appreciate ;)

I don't really care about the lack of naked women in the intro mind you. I would have preffered to see naked women but that isn't why I dislike the intro.

Watch Casino Royale if you are a fan of the early bond films.

i didnt undestand why they had to play poker and win against the baddie to bring him in, Q said they knew hes been funding terrorists, so as soon as bond saw him he shud have shot him
would have made the film last 30mins

Stop getting Bond wrong.... M, it was M who said Le Chiffre was funding terrorisim. And they wanted him alive so they could find out what he knows, what with all his involvement with terrorists.
I thought the opening titles where good, though the song was mediocre at best. I was a big fan of Piers Brosnan as Bond but I think the last one he did the franchise was getting a bit ridiculous and erring into cgi territory. I think what they did with this one is brilliant though, possibly one of the best action films ever made. I miss some of the more campy aspects of Bond but am willing to let them go if it means an end to things like invisible cars, cgi surfing and people like Madonna being in it. I miss Piers but Daniel Craig is very, very good in it.
I get a bit emotional after seeing a Bond film, they seem to mark stages in my life, and I generally enjoy them so much that when they're over I feel completely spent, wasted and hopeless. I think Bond films are the pinnacle of human endeavour.

On the subject of Bond, who reckons the new scissor sisters track sounds (in parts) like it could be a young David Bowie singing a Bond film intro tune? I normally dislike their stuff, but it's not a bad track.

There are a couple of things which just amaze me: 1. You being positive 2. You being positive about a Bond movie 3. You being positive about the new Bond movie 4. You being emotional after seeing a Bond movie
I'm almost as flabbergasted as I was earlier in this thread. Almost....And that's when my sarcasm-radar kicks in.

Ha! I'm not being sarcastic at all, I'm in fact reigning in my emotions as I could go really over the top saying how much I love Bond and this new film. I don't know what it is but today I can only think about "Casino Royale" and going to see it again at the earliest opportunity. I got like that with Goldeneye which I saw about 5 times at the cinema.

He was rad, a cowardly psycho that was scared as well, the torture scene with him and Bond was great. He really looked the part and carried it off well, very good support from the plucky Dane there.

it was ok, good for a bond and a hell of a lot better than anything after goldeneye. I missed some of the bond elements that are typical of the series, and it was too long. Some of the action scenes were poorly directed, especially towards the end of the film where my interest was waning. Hopefully the next bond will mix the best points about this film and the previous ones. Its almost there...
oh and the title song and graphics were awful.

I don't like it as much as the really old-school Bonds, didn't have as much fun... but it's definitely a success for what it is and for the first time in a long time, I'm really looking forward to future Bonds.

What, apart from in the credits as the song is playing? I don't think they bring it up again later in the film though, I will admit.
