Wasn't Casino Royale meant to be a 'back to basics' film?, no fancy gadgets, just loads of action etc.

Blatant product placement....try the Poker competition in CR.

"Is the watch Rolex?"
"Omega."

Really enjoyed CR though. But I do enjoy some of the cheesie-ness in the Bond movies. Having said that, I never saw the last Pierce Brosnan Bond movie.

Quantum of Solace if a name of Ian Fleming book of Bond short stories. It's one of the few they didn't use in Bond films so far. And I agree, even if it is different, it's better than the ones used since the original Fleming-names ran out.

I didn't like Casino Royale that much. Trailers of Quantum of Solace looks good though. .

The song is atrocious though - Alicia Keys and Jack White from The White Stripes.


If they'd just used Alicia Keys alone then it could perhaps have been more piano and her voice isn't bad - but this way is utterly dreadful!

So we get another movie where Bond is more or less on his own seeking for personal revenge? Well... But in that case the title fits perfectly - never had problems with it. A bit undecided about the title song, couldn't have been better if they'd done a bit more with the chorus. But the piano is just great! After I've seen the latest trailer I start looking forward to the movie, first I was so sceptic, and still I think it will be different from what I would love. You know, I love James Bond movies, but I don't like action movies. These are the only action movies I enjoy, and still I think there should be less action and more story. I get that back-to-basics thing, though. It's a restart of the saga, and unless they don't bring Goldfinger back in the next movie, it works great. But please, bring more gadgets and cheesyness. But I absolut understand that Bond first has to go through all this shit... and no matter what, Daniel Graig made a real good 007, and in general I like the new turn the movies are taking. Did that make sense? ;-)

Just heard this song, really is dreadful.


Quite possibly the worst Bond theme i've heard!

No! We've had 40 years of that type of Bond film and it's out-dated now, there's nowhere else to go with it. You say you want to see less action and more story - how relevant are gadgets? If he gets a car that launches rockets and whatever, then you know that something is coming which will just so happen to put him in a situation where he'll need those specific gadgets - makes the films too predictable. At least with this re-invention we see a more real person, and not the cheesy, chauvenist we've seen for years in the series already. We're seeing what drives him, what makes him who he is. I loved Casino Royale and I look forward to this one and any more that they may make in the future.
