What did you all think of the movie? I figure as a non brit, I might have a different perspective but I was a bit let down if I'm honest.
Daniel Craig did a great job once again, and all around I think it was solid acting and a reasonably good storyline. The main problems that I had with it: Javier Bardem's character, I don't think he was the right actor for the part at all. I happen to think he's a great actor, but he wasn't a good fit for the role. No gadgets. How do you make a bond movie without gadgets, that's skipping over what I think is the second most important part of the whole franchise. Which brings me to the first most important part of the franchise. BOND GIRLS, which were basically non existent in this movie. How did anybody let that happen??? If this was a regular movie without the Bond name attached, I would probably have been pretty happy with it. I just don't think it lived up to it's namesake. Anyway, curious what you lot think.

I also though it was excellent. I liked the fact that this one was more 'back-to-basics' with less focus on gadgets and overly-complicated, hard-to-follow storylines. I also really liked Javier Bardem's character, a great villain. I suppose it's just down to personal preference! 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

She was beautiful, but she had maybe three minutes on screen before she died. That hardly counts as a Bond girl.. My Travel Page |

Same with Gemma Arterton in the last one, I don't think Bond Girls ever last long.

I thought it was good, a real back to basics, none of those invisible cars or space rockets .. I liked the "A" team movie and the "Hangovers" too ... what do I know

Ray thought you were one of the stunt drivers as they were chucking the defenders around like you in Desert Storm 2006

My only comment would have to be, how can you run out of road in a defender? Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.
