I just saw it, thought it was amazing.

Full of action, great characters and great plot. So much better than Quantum of Solace, not even close!

It was good, but I don't think it was as amazing as all the reviews and hype indicate.

Didn't really feel a strong connection to Daniel Craig as Bond in this one. There was not a lot of depth to his character - he felt a little robotic at times, like he was simply a tool or mercenary to take out the trash. I didn't really feel the swagger and charisma either.

The movie was also sorely lacking several fixtures that have traditionally defined this series: the presence of a LEGITIMATE Bond girl, high-tech gadgetry and cool car scenes.

I just saw it yesterday with my son. It was good, but not great. I thought Craig's earlier Bond films were better..this one seemed like a setup for the next film with a new M, Q and Moneypenny. The villain wasn't up to par, the Bond girl played too small a role. The first chase segment was the most exciting part of the movie. My older son used the word "filler" for this Bond.

Just the thought of him as James Bond already makes me LOL.

Wait Dan Radcliffe is going to be the next bond? What? Did I miss something? Lol.

Casino royale was still the best of Daniel Craig's films.

Interesting.......but I read that Idris Elba (aka Stringer Bell from the Wire) is lined up to be the next Bond.

Anyways I thought it was a great movie with a great bad guy, which is something that a lot of movies try at, but dont succeed. But I saw the movie about 15 minutes after I heard about this massive Jays deal so my mind was off track.

Sounds like another one to skip. Haven't been into them nearly as much since the early ones, Connery and Moore. There's only two things that have drawn me since then, Aston Martins and Bond Girls.

Daniel Radcliffe isn't going to be Bond, that was just my wish/guess. But maybe one day when he is 40 and doesn't look like Harry Potter anymore.
