What you think of the new James Bond Movie?

Answer 1

Haven't seen it yet, but then again, I am not much of a movie person. Let me know if you like it.

Answer 2

I thought it was pretty ok. Not the best James Bond movie, like they are saying on the TV. Just not enough cool Bond gadgets!! And, the girls werent as WOW as in previous years. You come to expect a thrilling movie, full of cliches, modelesque women and cool gadgets. Just wasnt the same. I thought he was a pretty good Bond however, still loved sexy Pierce Brosnen.... Yum!

Answer 3

It wasn't bad. Not the BEST 007 movie ever, but OK. The story line was a little erratic I thought (just my opinion). I think the one I enjoyed the most was Never say Never. Daniel Craig has a nice bum though! (although I thought Sean Connery was the best 007 ever! The role just suited him somehow. I even liked Pierce Brosman, but not as much as Sean) In fact, I have NEVER seen a bad Sean Connery movie!
