2. However, I enjoyed this movie very much. Not as good as the last one, but certainly in the same zip code. The director must be a seriously twitchy ****er - the endless quick camera cuts during the action sequences bordered on annoying, but not enough to derail the film. I liked the story, found it to be much more interesting that the critics indicated (big shock there).

3. If you miss the foppish, gadgety Bond, go rent one of the 150 prior movies. This Bond ain't that, and IMO, that's a good thing.

P.S. The opening song did indeed suck donkey dick. Ugh. What has been heard, cannot be unheard. :banghead:


New Trek trailer is playing on some prints of the flick but not all. It will available online on Sunday.

The action scenes are quick cut because they are trying to follow the "Bourne" flick formula.

I read they even hired the stunt guys and editors from those flicks.

Good. I was going to see it anyway but now I know I won't be disappointed.

I don't think Star Trek will be able to live up the hype of that film.

The action sequences in Bourne were much better. If these guys were going for the copycat, I give them a FAIL in that department. The opening sequence is particularly goofy (Ebert pegged that observation).

But like I said, it doesn't detract that much from the movie.

I think you'll enjoy it. It definitely passes my "didn't feel cheated" test. Most of the packed theater applauded when it was over.

I believe it will surpass the hype of the film.

JJ Abrams is one sharp cookie.

QoS, underwhelming. I absolutely loved Casino Royale, and Craig is probably my favorite Bond, above Lazenby (who I still maintain was the best, but never got a fair shake because he followed Connery).

My wife liked Quantum, and while I didn't dislike it, it's well below CR for me. I still like Craig's Bond, even in this one.

The midnight showing at AMC 30 had the Star Trek trailer in the beginning. It looks cool, but I can already tell it's going to be like the new Star Wars were and thats ALOT of special effects. I like the look of the guy who plays Spock, I just hope they don't screw up Kirk.

God that burns my ass. I saw the movie at an AMC 30 as well and didn't get the trailer.

Bastards!

I really liked it. In fact, I was shocked by how much I liked it.

Never understood the point of this.
