Finally saw it tonight. Really, really enjoyed it. Love how it basically completes a Bond Origin trilogy with Craig. They even tied it to the past with the office and leather door at the end. Then the gun barrel and Bond theme to close it out gave me full on wood!
About the only thing I didn't care much for was Bardems performance. It reminded me of Walkens over the top weirdo in View to a Kill. So is Bond Bi? "How do you know this is my first time?" Posted via Mobile Device |

I probably clearly audibly heard 50% of Bardem's lines. And that's sad because I really wanted to hear what he had to say.

Oh.......classic how they brought back the old school Aston Martin, then used the grill guns to mow down an army of baddies. Sweeet!!! Even a funny reference to the ejection seat.
BTW, where do bad guys get a small army of thugs to be loyal to them and why do they remain loyal? Does the bad guy promise them an island of gold or something??

Haha. I was thinking the exact same thing. Every time I see a movie like this I wonder about the lives of the random bad guys.

Finally saw it this was Craig's first movie I'd call a true Bond film.

Preconceived notions are difficult to overcome, so I get it.
That said, this was the closest film in 50 years to capture the essence of the Sean Connery led James Bond. As others have mentioned, this film completed the "Origin Trilogy". It taught us who Bond was before he became the true 007. Everything in this film had reason and the final scene was, IMO, amazing, fun and led me to believe that this "origin" period is over: The next wave of Bond films will return to the gadgets, intrigue and Bond girls of the early 60's. Or so I hope. |

don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVED Casino Royale, but it really wasn't a true Bond movie.

I loved it. The way he approached the casino in the boat reminded me of the old school films.
