Absolutely will see

Considering I continue to think Skyfall was the best Bond film to date, you bet your ass.

Casino Royale was better.

Wouldn't miss this for anything... who's a better villain than Waltz, excellent casting choice.

Daniel Craig is quickly becoming my favorite Bond.....

He locked it up for me in the first one... Craigs Bond doesn't have time for snappy one liners and sexual innuendo, theres too much ass that needs to be kicked for all of that.

I've yet to dislike anything about the bond movies he's made up to this point, don't see why this would be different.

I wish they could have kept Javier around more. one of my favorite bond villians

I'd like to see Nolan get to do a Bond film.

Can't wait!

I enjoy pretty much every Bond era.

Even the Roger Moore Moonraker one

Casino Royale was a strong start to a new era, perhaps my 2nd favorite of all time if I think about it long enough, but not better than Skyfall.

Skyfall was an origin story, an expansion of the universe, a recognition of the realities of Bond in contemporary society and a cracker of a battle with a hell of a villain, all in one.

i still absolutely love Pierce's Bond. Also, fell in love with the best n64 game ever created 007!!

I really do hope they cast that black british fellow for the role to shut up the fools who say its only for "white" dudes. The dude looks great in a suit and could pull of the spy role well

Agreed.

This one looks bad ****ing ass.

there's also an elegance to the bonds film that hasn't been lost throughout the generations that should be more appreciated

Timothy Dalton is an underrated Bond

So the premise is identical to "Austin Powers: Goldmember"? Long lost brothers on opposite sides?

LMAO

well didn't austin powers basically base their comedy on the campyness of the older bond films? lol

Didn't give away anything in that trailer...want moar

I think it gave away too much, although the rumor has been out there for more than a year

What rumor is that?

Christophe Waltz is Blofeld

No wonder that voice sounded familiar?

But the long lost friend/brother thing is directly from Dr. Evil/Austin Powers.

LMAO

Meh, who cares. All I care about is that it is a entertaining movie. And we all know it will be better than any AP movie. LMAO

Oh man, I LOVED the first Austin Powers movie. I've watched it a 100 times, if not more.

I actually saw the band that played during the breaks at The Viper Room back in late 1996 before the movie came out. They were called Ming Tea and Mike Myers was dressed and acted like Austin Powers. It was a trip. Susanna Hoffs was still smoking hot and Matthew Sweet was in the band, too.

Great night.

How does she look now?

I haven't seen here in about ten years but she looked awesome then, too.

She's just too hot.

I don't even remember the song she was singing the first time I saw her. I just watched. LMAO

Walk with an erection like an Egyptian, perhaps?

Hell if I know. I wasn't really listening. :D

He was definitely an excellent villain, maybe the best up to this point, even said so in the thread about Skyfall... but just thinking of Waltz in Inglorious Basterds makes me think he has a chance to trump them all.

LMAO well put

He was so quirky, yet demented; a truly odd twist on the approach. I agree, he could really upstage any of the villains, if done right.

Yeah, he has that ultra sharp "nothing escapes my attention" cold and calculating thing down pat.

I had no idea....but I watched the trailer on a small smart phone

I love Craig's Bond. If he came on to me Id throw all this pussy at him.

But for reals doe.. His Bond movies are great. I'm sure this one will be no different.

I even liked Quantum of Solace.

I think they tried or were close, but it fell through because his schedule was booked out until he was going to be 100 or something.

Not according to the imdb page.

It could be a red herring though.

But that's the "rumor". There's no way they're going to officially acknowledge that because it'll take the fun out of it for fans of the series.

The fact that this is even an argument shows how awesome the Daniel Craig era Bond is. Such a great turnaround from the terrible writing of the Pierce era. Goldeneye had it's good moments, and a lot of that was thanks to the ground breaking video game.... but sheesh to the other ones.

Roger Moore was a great Bond, but the writing just got absolutely terrible.

and since Connery, we finally have a good Bond AND good writing again.

Casino Royal was amazing. By far my favorite Bond flick

Hope you're right. Love Waltz

I myself was disappointed in Skyfall (I thought the movie had massive plot holes, under-utilized Bardem and had a disappointing final act).

I love Waltz and Craig though, so I'll definitely be giving this one a watch.

I agree. Aside from stunning cinematography, I thought Skyfall was kinda "been there done that". I thought it was still a good Bond movie, but not the great one alot of people thought it was. Either way, really pumped for this one.

Yeah, we'll see. It would make sense since the movie is called S.P.E.C.T.R.E.

He HAS to be Blofeld. That would be the biggest fanboy dicktease of all time. PLUS it's the thing to do these days. Reveal the nemesis in the second installment of a successful franchise.

In case any of these are spoilers...


Skyfall was in many ways a reboot or at least refocusing of the franchise after Quantum wasn't well received and this looks to be a continuation along that line. I admit to it being a bit of a stretch, but nevertheless I don't think they'll let a nemesis like Blofeld stay away from the franchise much longer.

The real question is whether he ends up bald at some point. (Or is he bald already with a wig???) Or did Dr. Evil forever kill that aspect of him.

IMDB is a worthless resource for movies that haven't released yet.

Yep. The cast is perfect by every measure, hopefully the story does them justice.

I could do without Monica Bellucci.

Her tits in The Matrix: Reloaded were top notch.

They were still covered up. Not sure how she landed that role without taking everything off like most of her other movies. Need a B list actress thats not afraid to do full frontal nudity, even infront of little kids? She's your gal.

I would have much preferred they stuck with the little known actresses for the Bond girls.

Re-cast Halle Berry so I can see her magnificent cans one last time

I think cans is the funniest of all breast euphemisms.

Honestly, same here. I really wasn't caught up in it at all

I'm watching Skyfall for the first time since like November 2013. Not only is the score awesome, but the casting and script are great, too.

Javier Bardem is a classic Bond villain, maybe the best yet.

The leaps of logic in the plot really took me out of the movie. The rebuttal has been that it's "just a Bond film", but if any of Damon's Bournes tried anything similar I would have been just as critical.

The final scene with Bond, Moneypenny and M was classic.

Bond films aren't meant to be hyper realism. They're just fun movies.

Agreed. I think the heavy politics of it made me drop out. I'm looking for agents kicking ass, not M going and bantering about why the world needs agents in the first place.

Flame away

That's what I've been told. It's possible I just don't get it, (I'm 22 and have never seen a Bond film outside of the Craig era) but I thought the film's gritty and realistic themes didn't mesh well with its frequent suspensions of disbelief. I also thought the arc of the film would have been stronger had they had the billards to off M halfway through the film (and had Bond chase down Silva in revenge).

To me the intensity of the film waned off after Silva failed to finish her in the courthouse.

That's all you needed to say. Geez Louise. Tell us how in your 2-3 years experience, KU Basketball should more properly be a community college program.

The cinematography was indeed stunning and a big part of why I liked it so much, but it was a magnificent buttercream icing on a well made cake.

I had a second viewing awhile back.

Rarely does a movie entertain me so much on a second viewing.

It's just...so perfect. To me it's like the ESB of Bond films.

Wow, really? I thought CR was so much better than Skyfall. I actually found Skyfall to be a little boring. Never really pulled me in as a bond flick.

CR lacked the moodiness that I loved in Skyfall.

Also it was mostly a film about dudes sitting around playing poker. It lacked a sense of the epic.

It suffered from a few serious problems, imo. One as has been said, is the massive suspension of disbelief required to accept the plot twists. It is a Bond movie, sure, but it was a pretty serious one for how silly some of the sequences were. Also, the main theme was James Bond being an outdated dinosaur and yet the movie pushed his world backwards to fit his outdated MO. Women were more disposable than they've been in years, the one female field agent was so incompetent, she almost killed Bond and became Moneypenny, M went back to being male (not that I have a problem with that, Ralph Fiennes is going to be ****ing perfect). It just seemed that the movie want sure what it was trying to do with the world or Bond.

That said, it was entertaining, which I know is the point. (I've seen every Bond film and am a huge fan) It was a solid Bold and fun to watch. It just seemed, with the talent assembled, it could have been more.

Every Bond film is filled with "massive suspension of disbelief", so I don't think that Skyfall was unique to this series.

As a matter of fact, the suspension of disbelief is what has fueled these movies since the 1960's. Without it, the series would have died in the 70's.

True, but they've been progressively pushing the franchise to grittier places that point up absurdity. If they do crazy, nonsensical things in Moonraker, I'm like "of course". Not a deal breaker, but they seem to want the series to be taken more seriously.

I'm not sure if the goal is to be taken "more seriously" as opposed to making it s bit more grounded in reality than in the past. For me, QoS was just such a Bourne rip off that I didn't find it the least bit enjoyable.

I'd actually rather see SPECTRE as a little more outlandish and supposedly, that's the goal. We'll see...

And while we're talking a bit about Casino Royale, as much as I enjoyed that film and thought Craig was awesome, it bummed me out for Pierce Brosnan because he never had a script even remotely as good as CR.

I think Brosnan would have killed in CR, but with that said, I greatly enjoyed Craig's performance.

Definitely agree. Dalton got even worse treatment. At least Brosnan had Goldeneye.

Heh, I've been a KU fan since I was still filling my drawers. I saw the last half of Die Another Day when I was 12 and was confused as to why everyone loved the series.

Things changed dramatically once I saw Craig's Bond, though.

Absolutely agree!!! Brosnan was a perfect Bond and never got a REAL chance.

Couldn't agree more. Brosnan was dicked during his tenure, for sure. He truly could have been the best James Bond.

Yeah, dude. He is basically oozes James Bond.

He had the gravitas of Connery and the sly playfulness of Moore. I think he could have been as cold as Craig as well.

It's a damn shame that he never had a director or script worthy of ability.
