Any Bond fans?

Post by VEGAS »

Hi all,

many will be aware that Casino Royale opens this week. Me and the good lady being avid Bond fans will be armed with the popcorn & drinks tommorrow night prior to hitting the town.

So for any Bond fans amongst us (there will no doubt be one or two at least) I will report back with a review sometime over the weekend.

Old Pierce will be a tough act to follow as I thought he was fantastic in the role. So lets hope Mr Craig pulls it off.

Anyone else planning to go and see it? :think:

Yo Eddie,

The good lady and I decided against going to see it. Made the effort to go and see the last one and was embarrassed and annoyed I'd PAID to see such drivel. I know they're all a bit far-fetched but the disappearing Aston was a move too far I'm afraid :roll:

Never a big fan of Pierce Brosnan and glad to see the back of him. This new bloke looks like he may be made of sterner stuff :wink:

Looking forward to your report :smile:

I can honestly say that I have never really got into Bond or Star Wars or the like.

But hope you and your good lady enjoy it.

I don't mind watching Bond on the telly, but I don't fancy paying to see it.
Having said that, the missus wants to see it, so I may have no choice :lol:

I think Sean Connery is the best. He was the first so that's natural I suppose. I didn't think George Lazenby was too bad but he only did OHMSS.. Roger Moore was a bit too flippant, too comedic for my liking.. Timothy Dalton was better, more your rugged 'Mans Man'.. Pierce Brosnan, well.. no offence to anyone here but I could never get over the fact he is Irish and an Irish James Bond doesn't fit my profile. Weak I know but there you go :smile:
We have the lot on DVD anyway and even the last abomination isn't too bad on the TV :wink:

For me there has always been only one Bond, and that is/were Sean Connery

I have seen them all, although only on TV.

Lazenby was good, especially when he said the line: "That never happened to the other guy" facing the audience, and referring to a lady that turned him down... :lol:

Nice touch!
