what do people think about the new james bond?

I just find it interesting that they (the movie studio) decided to go blonde for the new Bond.\n\nBond has always been described in both novels and film as being very slick and dark.\n\nI guess we'll all have to wait and see how well the movie does.

I'd definitely watch Robbie as James Bond.  I love the cd booklet for "I've been expecting you"; it's very Bond-esque and the cd would make a good soundtrack. I guess though it's up to the producers rather than fans...

No Daniel Craig is gonna be the next James Bond. He acted in Munich and in the Jacket but that's all i know about him!

I thought it was pretty good.  Yeah, the beginning was a bit off, but for people who have no idea of the situation in the UK at the time, it was a great way to explain the fear.  I still like the books better, fevered imaginings are usually a bit more detailed than any movie.\nIt will be interesting to see how the next movies go -- especially since there are Chronicles that are not in the same timeline.

I must concur with your assessment.\n\nDaniel Craig is not Bond material.\n\nI was thinking more along the lines of Clive Owen :)

Didn't pay much attention in the theater did you?\n\nBond stopped the plane bombing to save lives his foe LaChireffe was using the bombing to finance a terrorist group by investing in the stocks of other airline companies. Since Bond stopped the bombing it left LaC' owing a lot of money to the terrorists so he entered the poker game to get it back. Bond's mission was to beat LaC' and leave him with no choice but to turn himself over to MI6 for protection so they could find out who his bosses were.\n\nBond won which upset Mr. White who was the one behind the scenes and they turned Vesper by kidnapping her boyfriend and holding him for ransom. The ransom was the money Bond won. She cut a deal to get Mr. White back his money but unwittingly fell in love with Bond she knew she would probably be killed so she left clues for Bond to find Mr. White in case that happened.\n\nIn the next film we'll probably get more insight into the group Mr. White was a part of my guess is it's Bond's old foe SPECTRE.\n\nThe other Bond films will be made to seem as if they never happened. This is a whole new Bond.

James Bond is good - a bit of boyish fun and violence but still teaches them respect and good manners! A hero for life! And he always gets the girl - that can't be bad!

Very excited. Let the nay sayers keep up their distaste for this movie...\n\nYes, Christopher Reeve WAS Superman, WAS. No, Brandon Routh WILL NOT ruin the Superman legacy anymore than Reeve did when he took the role.\n\nPeople fail to remember that Reeve wasn't the first OR second actor to portray the man of steel for the screen (big or small)\n\nSo bring on the new guy, with Brian Singer at the helm, it stands to be an exceptional movie. I mean, look at how well he did with the first two X-Men movies. WOW!!

It's only been out for a week (and not yet arrived in my town). I will probably see it, if I have the stomach for it.\n\nFolks who think this is some 'liberal' propaganda or 'food for terrorists' - just put yourself in this scenario: You're going to a friend's wedding overseas. While you're there, the U.S. is attacked. Suddenly, now you're determined to be in a 'terrorist country.' You're rounded up - even though you're a U.S. citizen - on suspicion of terrorism, for no reason except that you're in the wrrong place at the wrong time. You're imprisoned for 3 years, tortured, never charged with any crime, nor ever given a trial. Three years of your life are lost, and then suddenly you're set free. No apologies, no explanations, no remorse from "your government." You never find out why.\n\nHow do you feel? Find some compassion for these people. That's what happened to them.\n\nThe movie sounds harrowing but important. This is what Time magazine wrote:\n\n"IF the movie's remorseless depiction of this nightmare doesn't shock audiences into numbness - 'United 93' is a Hallmark card compared with this horror show - they may be inspired by the stubborn bravery of Iqbal and his friends. Documents like this are supposed to open our eyes, even if we would rather shut them to the awful realities on view."

it's just going to be an expensive hollywood remake, and not as good as the original.\nThe Omen the original from '76 will never be surpassed.

I totally agree.  I'm not a live and die Bond freak, but, I'm a fan.  Craig doesn't look like a Bond.......James Bond.  What were they thinking.  Bond is supposed to be suave and handsome.  This guy's not even close.

I think the writing is so simple, and although Brown is not a spectuacular "writer" through critics, I think the simpler the better. Furthermore, the storyline is just so intriguing that it's hard to not be captivated in his plots.\n\nThe movie should be equally as interesting!

I enjoyed it far more than I was expecting to. Don't listen to anyone who tells you that a blond northern bloke can't play Bond. He does a fantastic job \n\nGo and see it, you won't regret it !

Release date 17 November 2006\n\nIn the true tradition of Bond, full details of the car to be used in ‘CASINO ROYALE’ are being kept top secret but the company did confirm that it would be a new model called the Aston Martin DBS

James Bond is not a complicated role.  It does not take acting ablitiy...just decent looks and a playboy attitude.\n\nRalph's talents would be wasted!

I love Daniel Craig. He's like the next best thing to Sean Connery and way better than Brosnan. Casino Royale has become my favourite Bond movie and Goldfinger has to take second place for now. Hahahaha! It's really a cool movie and there's a sentimental part of Bond, which shows that he's a real man! Daniel Craig really is an amazing actor.
