Going at midnight tomorrow night...  A friend's birthday tradition...

I have to say Daniel Craig is a much better Bond than Timothy Dalton, and probably better than Pierce Brosnan.

By no means even close to being a Sean Connery.

Has he learned how to drive a stick yet?

It is a much different world now than the '60's, and Bond movies have changed, as well.


I think he is excellent, and that as good as Connery was, nowadays noone will ever be considered as good because of the legacy. 

The "he can't drive a stick" was a bit of a nasty rumor that has been disproven.

and has a questionable title that doesn't connect well to the movie (even Craig was baffled at the title), I'm not suprised.

From what I understand, it's a revenge movie.  A Quantum of Solace is (smallest measure possible) is all the solace he will get in the end?....

Quantum
1.   quantity or amount: the least quantum of evidence.
2.   a particular amount.
3.   a share or portion.

I'm starting to like the title since it may increase someone's vocabulary.  [laugh]

Bond is like Star Wars. It may suck sometimes, but they're still fun to watch. Repeatedly. I dont think there is a single Bond I havnt seen multilple times. Even the gawdawful contractual obligation remake of Thunderball that Connery did in the 80's, Never Say Never, Again.

I think the worse part about the Pierce Bonds were they got too PC - like rated PG or PG13.  Bond movies should have good sex and violence.  I also think that Craig does a good job as a "believable" agent.

Pierce makes a good rich anti-hero (he was great in the remake of Thomas Crown Affair).

Bond movies are escapism at it's best.   screw reality...I want to get out of my job etc. for a few hours.

I welcome any new 007 movie.

(yes...I own all of them on DVD).

It's still buy a flounder a drink month

I'm going to get flamed I know, but I actually liked Timothy Dalton more than Pierce Brosnan. Connery will always be the man, but I do like Craig as Bond.

Well, he doesn't have sex with the Bond girl in this movie.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad about that, because I always picture myself with a Bond girl.  [evil]
