I think it was good Although I think the Casino scenes went on for a bit too long
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

All I can say is if that is the best the JB franchise can offer these days, good luck to it for the future
I am a huge JB fan and have all of the movies but this movie is the first JB movie I have not enjoyed"But it aint how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done." Rocky.

This film is one of the best. Actually I think it was better than every single Brosnan movie. Daniel Craig was believable and yes, the action scenes were not over the top either. Some classic Bond moments too. The chick from the treasury department, and Bond's first conversation was a good example.
I really was not expecting much from this film as it seems these days when a sequal or the next movie in a line of movies comes out, they seem to be disappointing. I even remember suggesting this would be the worst movie I have ever seen. Quite surprisking. A must see if you ask meMark Webber - Michael's master :cool:

Good summary. I just fail to see what else people were expecting from the movie tbh. Perhaps in the minds of some people it's just not possible to make something better now than it was 20 or 30 years ago? I just don't get what people were expecting to see? Sean Connery?????? It was real, it was gritty, it was a Bond movie and Daniel Craig was 100% believable!

I've given up on Bond films. They were always tongue-in-cheek harmless romps, but since the Austin Powers trilogy poked fun at them they've been getting steadily further up their own backsides, substituting humour and storylines with increasingly far-fetched set pieces, with the flimsiest of plots to link them together.
I'll probably get the DVD, but I'm not subjecting my backside to three hours in a cinema for this.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Have to agree with pino on this one
Is it just me that thinks jumping from crane to crane is "believable"? I do admit though that I was hanging onto my seat at that point, mainly because I had fallen asleep and woke up and wasn't quite sure what was happening :
As for the story.... did anything happen?
...running and managing to keep up the length of the airport with a madman in a fuel tanker? The girl giving him the electro-whatsit and then him saying "oh, hello". Sure - very believable....If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

...and it was too long too, a lot of people walked out but I managed to resist... just!

Just focus on 27. Full focus. No new manufacturers will come before then, and no new ones will come if clear new regs aren't settled for 2027 by the end of the year (latest first few months on 2025)....
