Casino Royale - anyone looking forward to seeing it?
 
Personally, I can't wait!!
Just managed to secure tickets to a Regional Premiere Charity showing on 15th November (it's nationwide release is now 16th) :luxhello:

Lord Shrek 18 October 2006 11:47 AM

nope

Bond has had its day

wrong choice aswell

i never look forward to seeing anything apart from my wrist in full swing

Lord Shrek....George Lazenby was bloody cr@p too :thumb:

Chip Sengravy 18 October 2006 11:54 AM

shrek.....why not excersise your wrist in the cinema by torchlight in the cinema over the bond girls? ;)

GaryK 18 October 2006 12:05 PM

Yep should be good!

Gary...Shreks sigs are oooo so tired! :)

T4molie 18 October 2006 12:10 PM

Personally I'm quite looking forward to this altho I still think that perhaps Clive Owen may have been a better choice IMHO :)

RoShamBo 18 October 2006 12:16 PM

Should be great, DC I think is a great choice for a more gritty realistic Bond. Give the bloke a chance. Though I have to say I always thought the best Bond was Dalton, not very many people's first choice!

looking forward to it, I think he will bring a much needed harder edge to the Bond character which is more in keeping with the times.

Lazenby seems to be a marmite bond. You either love him or hate him. Some say he had the part nailed and others just could not get on with him post-connery.

Apparently, Timothy Dalton was asked to do On Her Majestys Secret Service before George Lazenby but Dalton felt he was too young to pull of the character and would not be a fitting successor to Connery.

Got to love Wikipedia :thumb:

His acting may not have been the best (not forgetting it was his first acting job) but OHMSS is the best Bond film to date :thumb:

Lord Shrek 18 October 2006 01:09 PM

is it any wonder that 'The blair witch Project' got rave reviews with the likes of you lot

Lord Shrek.....i've said it before and i'll say it again 'Rick Moranis' in 'Honey i shrunk the kids' was wooden :thumb:

Chip Sengravy 18 October 2006 01:13 PM

Your'e getting mixed up with 'Pinoccio', in 'Pinoccio' :D

Yep I'll agree with you, although the films weren't much cop storywise/effects wise I thought Dalton played a pretty good Bond.

I think DC will do a pretty good job, judging by the trailers. Just hope to God(s)/Allah/The Trees/Dog that there aren't any invisble Astons in this one.

alcazar 18 October 2006 01:24 PM

I don't rate ANY of the Bond films afer the ones based on stories actually written by Ian Fleming.

Fantom 18 October 2006 01:30 PM

Not looking forward to it at all. I already know he kills the bad guy and lives in the end despite having been in the clutches of certain death.

Only liked Bond films when I was young. Now they are just crap.

Agreed on both counts!! ;) :D

Also, anyone who says that 'The Thin Red Line' was a good film deserves to be made to watch it for all eternity!! My f**king chair feel asleep!!! :mad: :mad:

I am looking foward to the new Bond film though, partly because it looks like the people making it have realised that Bond needs to evolve. Daniel Craig looks very comfortable in the trailer playing 007 in the making and I like that the younger bond is being portrayed as tougher, meaner, less refined, less, well, cheesy, than old Bond! :thumb:

Dalton was a good actor: good actors can't play the role of 'Old' Bond!

Best 'old' Bond by far -and no arguments please- was Roger Moore! :thumb:

Bond was pants when the 1970's onwards arrived.60's stuff the best.

Proper sexist stuff before.Sure Bond will soon have a phrase using the word 'Diversity'

Try watching World Trade Center. My chair fell asleep and pissed on me without realising it was so far gone.

Lol I know the feeling. Only film Ive ever thought of leaving before the end.

Fabioso 18 October 2006 11:20 PM

I've always liked the Bond films.......from the Sean Connery stuff to present day. Personally thought Pierce Brosnan really did a good job and I am not sure how well the new dude is gonna come across. Happy to give him the benefit the doubt but will be slating him if the film is crap :p:D

ScoobyJawa 18 October 2006 11:54 PM

After Connery, Moore and Brosnan (and a little bit Dalton) he's completely wrong for the role :(

I think he's about right, don't forget, this is James Bond in the making; the early days- he supposed to be meaner and rougher!

Saw the preview this week at the cinema - won't be rushing to see it

I think he is the wrong choice albeit closer to the original character but not the movie character

That's why this one might be halfway decent. That is if it's true to the book.

Sub97 19 October 2006 10:01 AM

I'm looking forward to it - got to at least give the guy a chance.

I'm just glad it wasn't Clive Owen, why anyone thinks he's a good actor is beyond me.

Agreed, people have been way to quick to dismiss Daniel Craig. I think if people watch the trailer, they'd have to conceed that he looks very comfortable in the role.

Clive Owen would not have been right for the part IMHO, but I would have given him the benefit of the doubt too!
