    Anyone else here a HUGE James Bond freak? I'm highly anticipating this movie...saw a few spoilers here and a few there. Can't wait for 007 to go apeshit crazy with revenge.

    Can't wait for the new movie. My son and I will probably go see it at least a couple of times. Nothing like a Bond movie. I like the new Bond. Much better than Pierce Brosnan who never was as good a Bond as I wanted him to be. The last movie was the best Bond movie made since the last one with Roger Moore in it.

    The best thing Brosnan did was inspire the cover art for Golden Eye (the game)

    yeah, caught Casino Royale opening night last year. won't be in the states when QoS is released, but I'll watch it where I am some how....

    The story starts him interviewing Mr. White...should be a rip-roarin' time.

    I actually quite like many of the Moore flicks. Most of the older ones are better but IMO, Casino Royale is the best of the franchise. No stupid gimmicks, no formaeleic plots, etc.

    The recent Casino Royale was the best Bond since Sean Connery.

    I remember seeing a spread in Playboy about the 1967 Casino Royale when I was a kid sneaking peeks at Playboy. I didn't see the movie but the pictures made an impression.

    Casino Royale changed my expectations for Bond films. I'm actually looking forward to Quantum of Solace.

    I'm a huge Bond fan and have them all on DVD. IMO Bronson was the worse Bond. I do think Craig is great and Dalton was also good. I can't wait for Quantum of Solace but early reviews says it isn't as good as Casino Royal but still good.

    Sorry, to be off topic but I was reading about Transporter on the other topic and have never seen any of them. It sounded good and now I'm going to rent them when I get a chance.

    Sorry, I meant Brosnan not Bronson. Yeah, maybe when Bronson was younger he might have mad a good bond. He would have made Bond an ass kicking machine.

    I love Charles Bronson, him and Clint Eastwood top the list of the best actors for me. (Eastwood also best producer IMO)

    I read IMDB.com last night and the people that had seen the preview didn't think much of QoS. Of course, a bad Bond movie is like bad pizza...it's still pretty good. I'm sure I'll watch it and enjoy it thoroughly.
