It's official... CR is gonna be the best Bond flick since Goldeneye.
-
#1 fictional character I'd want to be. Bang hot broads, save the world, blast on fools, get drunk. Love the book, hope the new Bond is better than the last four.
-
Who cares.
-
I don't think I've seen a better trailer for an action movie in quite some time. This should be the best Bond ever at least in terms of action. It looks like the producers and director wanted the stuntwork to stand toe-to-toe with flicks like "B13" and "Ong Bak." I can't wait.
-
bond playing texas hold em is bullshit. the rest looked pretty sweet though.
-
No outlandish silly crap more old school grit. And the acting and action didn't seem bad either.
-
Looks awsome, but no nut-smacking in the trailer? Is it me, or does the new Bond look like an AIDS patient? I believe they play bacarat in the novel.
-
but so did trailers for tomorrow never dies
and that movie blew
-
great choice for felix
-
Really looks like its going to do a good job walking that fine line between fantasy and reality, dark and fun.
-
...until watching that trailer. I kept telling my friends, "Give the guy a chance." Well, the chance I gave him is done and gone, and I'm all the sadder for it. Bond needs to be both baddass AND suave. Craig ain't suave. This movie might as well be "XXX: High Stakes Death."
-
AWESOME!!!
-
anyone got a direct link to download it yet?
-
He's not listed in the cast at IMDB.
-
--imagine the same trailer with Clive Owen instead of Craig...And I can't believe they're still using that shot of him in those unflattering blue shorts. The least they could do is digitally enhance his package. I've seen underoo ads with more bulge.
-
Oh wait it wasn't me bitching. It was you! Eat it all of youse who know who youse is.
-
Craig just doesn't seem right. Bond's seems a bit too hardcore here, I don't know if thats the intent, or it's because he's wooden. Also, if the guy doesn't win this years King of Fugly award, it will be a travesty! I still say, they should have tried Jason Statham for this. Sure he's not the best actor, sure he's bald, but you can't deny his coolness, and he would definantly bring in the younger crowd. I'll wait til I see Royale before I pass judgment on Daniel, right now I'm on the fence. Sidenote: I've worn a 007 cap for like eight years now. Not because I'm a hardcore Bond fan, no, it's because it's the only non-sports hat I can find that perfectly fits my noggin.
-
I just can't get it into my head that he's Bond. With Brosnan it was instantaneous. Craig doesn't exude 'Bond-ness', even though he's still a good actor and will probably handle the badass side really well.
-
obviously he looks different to people's traditional, Brosnan-style idea of Bond. They have certainly upped the badass quotient with Craig, something Brosnan could never pull off. Whether people warm to this take on Bond is a different question. It's an awesome trailer though.
-
You nailed it..."thuggish" is the word. Bond is not a thug, Craig is. Therefore...Craig is not Bond.
-
..there's a bruise on my left butt-cheek.
Holy shit.
Nice to see Bond played as a more hard-core mother fucker, than some poncy twat like we've seen since...um...well...Connery.
Good form. -
he always looked like a giant pink pussy
-
is just a step down from a chick tied to railroad tracks on the scale of lameness.
-
"The least they could do is digitally enhance his package."
##### ##### ##### Oh wow. LOL. Of all the criticisms for the new Bond, that is the most hilarious. Maybe they could use the leftover pixels from shrinking Rouths package in Superman. -
He's built like Sean Connery. And Bond was ALWAYS a thug; a clever, highly cultivated, ruthless thug. Looks good.
-
I'm not going to watch this movie, just on principle. I'm probably in the minority, but I can't get behind Daniel Craig as Bond. Taking away the gadgets is just mean.
-
I just bought Goldeneye for N64 the other day, haven't owned this game in years. Look forward to playing it again. By the way were you aware that EB Games and Gamestop don't sell 64 games any more? I guess I always took it for granted. Why hasn't there been a great Bond game since Goldeneye? sigh
-
I'm excited for this again. I could do without the ass line though.
-
I'm glad they've toned down on the gadgets. The gadgets diminish the character of Bond. It got to be that whenever Bond got into trouble, instead of relying on his skills he would just push a button or flip a switch. How lame. All Bond needs is a gun and sometimes a fast car. That's it. Looking forward to this one.
-
James Bond is a professional killer. You people have been brainwashed by years of campy portrayals by Moore and Brosnan. Why not take it in a new direction? Has ANYONE read the original novels? The only time they got it exactly right was the first three connery movies and the the two Daltons. This looks like it will be right up there. "Yes...considerably." THAT is Bond, not the smirking of Moore and the torturous posing of Brosnan. As for his looks, I am no expert on male pulchritude, but he seems alright to me. James Bond was not supposed to be a pretty boy. I suppose you would prefer Orlando Bloom or Jude Law.
-
craig looks like he can kick ass this like a lot of fun
-
NO FLAMES!
-
Yeah, maybe Dalton and now Criag is closer to the novels but what works on books doesn't always work in film. Brosnan and Connery had it right. If the Brosnan films had flaws it was the writing and directing, not the actor. Fuck this, after watching the film my whole life, Bond is dead to me.
-
Why do people always ask that, as if it's some huge badge of honor for fans? The books are relatively short and can be read in no time at all. And Bond was always described in them as having movie star good looks, being over 6 feet tall, etc. Basically, the ideal archetype for a man's man in the 1950's. Fleming certainly didn't have short, stocky, and unattractive in mind when he was writing. He also didn't take the novels very seriously, and frequently laughed off Bond's importance as a character. It was supposed to be male fantasy, and nothing more. Another aspect is that Bond hated killing. According to the script, there's a brief half-assed attempt to include this in the film, but it completely contradicts the whole "Bond as Rambo" vibe that is going on elsewhere. It's sad to see them having to work harder to sell the actor as Bond than the film itself. Craig's casting was nothing more than EON trying to save face when their original choices declined. But in today's world, anything can have an following online. To be honest, they could've just cast any old schmuck in the role. Come to think of it, they did.
-
Hands down. I was so uninterested in this film and now I can't wait to see it. I hope the film lives up to this trailer.
-
pardon my french, but I could edit together a montage of my dog taking a dump out back, and as long as I had that fucking Bond theme kick in at just the right part (yeah, THAT part), I swear to God it would get my adrenaline pumping. That said, this flick does look intriguing, but the last few Bonds have burned me based on the trailers as well, so I'm gonna withhold my excitement a little longer.
-
License to Kill is a very underrated Bond flick. It stepped away from the formula and showed Bond as a ruthless, vengeful, dangerous weapon. As for Brosnan, even though he is a pretty boy, he could have been good with better material. Goldeneye was his only shot with a decent script and he nailed it. The, what did he get for his trouble? Denise Richards playing a fucking "nucular" scientist. Jeesh.
-
However, I still have doubts about the producers. Are they willing to reinvent enough of their decades-long formula to make this interesting? I read the books as a kid, and have no particular attachment to them. I cant remember though... is Bond mostly called upon to be an assassin, or a spy? Or he just a general go-to guy to take care of super-villain problems?
-
Bond on a walker, what could be better....
-
Yes, he may have been prettier but he was pretty brutish too. Bond IS a thug, just not a common one. He's a thug with a few extra skills and polish. That's what I got from the books. THat's how Dalton played him. Craig is a good enough actor to pull off that portrayal as well. As for "Persona", I don't know. I can picture Daniel Craig posing as a nerdy geneaologist to infiltrate a SPECTRE stronghold. I couldn't see the young Connery pulling that off. Bond in the books is described as a young Hoagy Carmichael. But forget that. Craig has ball AND acting chops. Haven't seen that in a LONG time. Look, Craig wasn't my first choice, either. Clive Owen was. But he didn't want to do it. Yes, they could have played it safe and got that guy from Nip/Tuck to do DIe Anther Day II. But Craig is an interesting choice. I've seen most of his previous roles. He's got balls AND acting chops. Haven't seen that in years.And yes, I thought he was a charming mother fucker in Layer Cake. I am willing to make allowences on the physicality if it means that they will stay away from the camp and CGI surfing.
-
I have been watching a Bond Movie a week since July 1st, and i have to tell you, that when week 21 rolls around, Casino Royale will not disapoint!
-
strictly a hit man either. He was, as you say, the go-to guy when the bad guy was more than your run of the mill commie agent making trouble.
-
Connery nailed it. Moore played it for laughs. Brosnan played it like some metrosexual schmuck. Lazenby and Dalton were inconsequential. The more I watch this trailer, the more I think they've finally done Bond justice again.
-
and CGI surfing. They dropped the best actor to play Bond since Connery. Both of them knew when to be a cold blooded killer and when to have fun chugging vodka and chasing tail. It's a balance and without it, it might as well be the bland Bond of the novels and what Timothy Dalton played. Might as well have Vin Diesel play the character.
-
Someone had to say it
-
Check out this pic of a shirtless Brosnan from "Matador": http://tinyurl.com/rgfhg Now compare with Craig's physique in trunks from that trailer. Unless they're gonna remake "Never Say Never Again" Brosnan is past prime Bond age. If they started him back in the Remington Steele era they coulda made an extra 2 or 3 films with him. If you don't like Craig, that's all fine but don't tell me that pic is an ideal Bond!
-
I loved the novels and Timothy Dalton. We'll have to agree to disagree on that And I didn't HATE Brosnan. I think Tomorrow Never Dies was fun and The World Was Not Engough was an interesting departure from the formula. I just found Brosnan....bland, safe and he wore out his welcome after Die Another Day. I was sick of him. And yes, they are the same people in charge of the CGI surfing, etc., but this would not have been the first time they changed directions for the best.
-
The remote controlled car bit was neat, but that was about all the film had going for it.

I have never seen a James Bond movie. believe it or not
by cotton mcknight
I have seen some scenes here and there and know enough to understand the gags in movies like Austin Powers and the Nude Bomb (that old Maxwell Smart movie), but I have never actually sat down and watched one. What do you think? Is this worthy of being the first one I ever see?
-
Someone said Brosan couldnt pull this bassassery off. Well, it'd be awesome to see him forced to. While watching the trailer I couldnt help but imagine Brosnan in Craig's place in the scenes....the suave James Bond we've known for the last few years now forced into a darker world and to become more badass and ruthless. THAT would have been interesting. This new guy, Daniel Craig, looks more like a Bond bad guy than Bond. He's not handsome, which is a Bond characteristic. Timothy Dalton looks better than this guy.
-
"cartoon-y" action scenes...which was the one thing that always ended up turning me off in the other movies. This one looks a lot grittier and more realistic. Sign me up!
-
Just gotta say
-
that looked good. The Batman Begins treatment. Thank Christ.
-
Yes, Bond is about finding that balance between cool and cold. He has to have that extra something to keep him from being just another Bruce Willis or Vin Diesel. Dalton may have been a cold bastard, but you could also see him easily fitting in at an opera. As for the producers, I think they have been running on borrowed time for years now. It's no wonder they are finding it increasingly difficult to attract actors, directors, etc.
-
..is that the one with the gigantic fortress made from ice or some shit?
I only saw a few minutes of it and let me tell you, I'll nevver get those minutes back.
Yes, a young, crueler Hoagy Carmichael (look him up on wikipedia..)is who Ian feming orginally "cast" Bond as.
I think that the everyman look a killer/spy in Bond's line of work would need, fits in nicely with Craig's look.
I mean, if you were a spy, would you rather be a quickly recognized, hollywood style celebrity looker? Or an "everyman" that could blend in with the crowd after a hit?
I think Craig can work well if they re-work Bond's playboy schtick into what Bond was supposed to originally be, a cruel, suave, womanizing bastard who got the dirty jobs done, and was great at it. -
I want to see this, bad. Daniel Craig can act and I will definitely give him a chance and my $9 after seeing this.
-
I'm probably in the minority here having seen only bits and scenes not a whole Bond movie. But Craig looks like a hardcore assassin, Green looks smoking hot but not in a cheap way and the villain looks both menacing and a bit cheesy. Consider me looking forward to it. I mean, whenever filmmakers in a franchise dare to do something different, not the same cookie-cutter films that came before it, I'm intrigued. And in my mind, the whole rico suave, cool guy thats quick to bed the ladies while taking out the world's super baddie and look good doing it kinda went out with Austin Powers.
-
That was fucking awesome!!! My god I blew when the choir sung the bond theme!!!!!!!! YEAH!!! ... Yeah! ... yeah...
-
A studio named Rare made Goldeneye. The game was of course very well done and was VERY successful on a console which didn't have the best selection of games at the time. This made EA think that if they bought up the Bond license they could just make crappy Bond games and people would buy them thinking they were sequels to the one Rare made, and it made them a lot of money. Since EA bought the 007 license, Rare followed Goldeneye up with the amazing Perfect Dark. Around that time a good chunk of the people who made Goldeneye and PD so great left Rare to make a new studio called Free Radical. Their first game was Timesplitters for the PS2 and they have made every Timesplitters game since. Rare's latest attempt at an FPS, Perfect Dark Zero didn't do too well, probably because they lost a lot of their talent, and also this game was rushed so quickly to make the 360 launch that I'm sure it suffered as a result. This is why all the bond games after Goldeneye sucked.
-
As much as I wanted Ralph Fiennes to play Asriel, methinks Craig is perfect for the role.
-
Big Fucking Deal.
-
Who the fuck cares what he plays in the book? As a great man once said, "If I wanted to read, I'd go to school."
-
but Goldeneye was way better than "not bad". I loved how EA tried to REALLY capitalize off of Rare's success by naming one of their Bond games "Goldeneye: Rogue Agent" when it had absolutely nothing to do with the movie.
Fuck EA.
Goldeneye: Rogue Agent = Flames on Optimus = Nipples on Batman = The Doom movie monsters not being from hell. -
venice in a movie is always a plus. hurts to watch a palazzo in venice implode though
-
you've sure expressed a lot of deeply considered manlove today. They're going to revoke your membership.
-
I saw some pretty cool action, some 'splosions, curvy chicks and fighting, but they kept cutting to some thuggish brute with a British accent. Where was James Bond? Ohhhhh.........uh.....crap.....
-
But he's probably better looking than you. This looks like the first promising Bond film since Goldeneye. Which was the only decent Bond film since the days of Connery (and Lazenby, who is hugely underrated). They pretty much lost me with the 007 franchise but again they seem to be making a 180 with the material. I swore off Bond after Die Another Day but I'll be damned, it seems like they'll be taking my money again for the awesome looking Casino Royale.
-
fuck the people who want a fucking model to play bond. Daniel Craig is the first fucking real Bond period. sorry Sean, Daniel just took the crown from you.
-
like, seriously, whatta trailer. Damn. It'll never live up to that.
-
but finally, they made one I want to watch. Looks great.
-
Isn't that sorta the point? It seems to me like they're playing up that part of the character. Anyway, trailer rocked. They certainly didn't re-invent the wheel, but I really dug some of those shots and the story seems interesting. Changing the game from baccarat to Texas Hold-'Em is blatant pandering, but whattaya gonna do?
-
Giancarlo Giannini (Seven Beauties, Mimic, etc.) Mein herz schwimmt in blut! That means my heart swims in blood.
-
Any reservatiosn I had about Craig just got blown away.
-
he runs exactly like the T-1000 from T2 in one shot(the arms karate-chopping the air). I half expected him to accelerate and just run after the car at highway speeds. That would be a cool gadget.
-
Who the fuck wants a suave James Bond?! Sorry girls and gay boys, but this isn't your fucking movie franchise. I am so fucking sick and tired of action heroes that pander to people who wear fucking lipstick! Bond is for men who want to see some ass get kicked... not fucked. Sorry, not trying to offend anyone who's gay, but fucking shut the fuck up about a pretty James Bond! James Bond == Bad Ass MotherFucker. Period. Next thing you'll be wanting a fucking remake of Pulp Fiction with Denzel Washington as Jules. Motherfuckers.
-
rent the first 3 Bonds...Dr. No, From Russia With Love and Goldfinger, if you don't like them, then Bond's not for you
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Pierce Brosnan got fucked as James Bond because of his looks. Watch the fucking Matador. He stopped being pretty and was finally bad ass. You can't be fucking pretty and badass at the same time unless you are a goddamn elf. That's the only fucking way. Watch Johney Depp be bad ass, he's not pretty. Watch Antonio Bandaras be bad ass... look at the difference between Desperado and Zorro... Badass and almost Badass. If Zorro hadn't been comedy... it would have sucked... unless he fucked CZJ... but that's it. You can't play pretty boy and bad mother fucker at the same time.
-
Seriously, why do Bond villains always have scars on their faces and a creepy messed up eye? I'm also tired of the damsel in distress scenario. It's so flippin played out. We get it already. We men love T&A so much that we'll get involved with the wrong woman or put our girl in danger b/c we're idiots who for even a couple of days can't keep the business of saving the world from involving and endangering our loved ones. I'll give a pass to True Lies but think about Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, M:I2, M:I3... sunuvabitch! even worse: Spiderman, Spiderman 2 etc. Can't it ever just be heroes vs. villains for once? I want Autobots vs. Decepticons! I want Spiderman vs. Sandman and Venom while Mary Jane's sittin at home eatin ice cream and watchin infomercials. She can be worried, but at home.
-
Just watch his movies, people. He's a fantastic actor. Ever seen Layer Cake? How 'bout Munich? In Munich, he plays a badass British wheelman who has morals and fires off a silenced pistol a couple of times. That's about as close to Bond as you're gonna see Craig before Casino Royale releases. Just watch Layer Cake and Munich. I know he's made other movies, but I can't recall them just now. Craig haters should enlighten themselves for shits sake. Even Brosnan endorses Craig as Bond. Why do you think the last three movies have sucked? Global warming? Second-hand cigarette smoke? Brosnan and a tired, repeated idea. This is finally the more realistic, brutal Bond that is required to rejuvenate the franchise. Just like with TF2007, we'll all be at the theaters to see this kickass flick. Don't deny it. Resistance is futile.
-
QT needs to fucking get his shit in gear and make us a British fucking Spy movie starring Piere Brosnan. Brosnan isn't too old for Bond. Not by a decade. He just needs to play a badass spy instead of the dipshit that he was forced to play in the Bond movies. QT can get funding for a spy movie with Pierce Brosnan and he needs to fucking do it. He needs to make the Pulp Fiction/Kill Bill of British Spy movies with Pierce Brosnan and stop dicking around with anything else. Fuck I'm getting tired of waiting. PB getting fired from Bond is the best fucking thing that ever happened to him. He stopped having to lower himself to playing a fucking joke. He was always a fucking bad ass under the pretty boy image they made him wear. Now QT needs to fucking let the mother fucker in PB loose.
-
I'm not big on Blonde Bond, but he's got the right tone for this film. He'll pick up his suave as he moves along in his career but they've brought back the hard-edged, take-no-guff Bond. This looks to be the best Bond since The Living Daylights.
-
Most of the rich in the world are playing Texas Hold 'em nowadays than anything else. Even if they can't play cards to save their lives. Makes sense to me to use it.
-
Craig looks good to me.
-
EON was better then Golden Eye, but I am not a huge fan of FPS games, so grain of salt. But, the motorcycle chase in EON was better then 98 percent of anything in any modern game, just for sheer excitement. And Casino Royale is the first Bond movie I have ever wanted to see in a theater. I hope it works, and I hope Craig does too. But I think they should have stretched even more on the casting, and put Chiwetel Ejiofor in as Bond. That sucker pulls off the badasserry needed, and is less thuggish looking. Plus he's black, so that would piss off people, which is always nice. And he looks good as a drag queen, and that should figure into playing James Bond.I don't know why, it just should.
-
Daniel Craig is a good actor, and I really hope this is a movie that'll give him the superstar-status.
BUT, he seems a bit too cold, and not very James Bondy, anyone else think so? -
And pretend that GE is the only Bond movie that PB ever made... until he made the Matador. Damn... this trailer for CR is bad ass. Thank you BB and BI for bringing back the badass in action.
-
is the best PB Bond. Hands down. Robert Carlyle was a great villian. The CG wasn't too in your face like Die was. Also, Denise Richard as nuclear scientist in tight white wet t-shirt, awesome action scenes, great thumping music and wide range of locations. Probably the best non-Flemming story they've written. Don't ask me to choose a fav Sean Connery bond... ok, Goldfinger is best. Props to Thunderball for being SOOOOO much fun!
-
Eva Green is the hottest Bond girl ever...
-
Goddamn, now I sound like all the talkbackers I despise, but COME ON! The same people who hate the fact that Craig is Bond can't possibly say that they like The World Is Not Enough, and that's what they want this more to be like. Bond has been stuck in routine for decades. GIVE IT A FUCKING CHANCE. This trailer has me excited. It looks like they are trying something a different. I'm a Bond fanatic and this looks like it's worlds away from MOONRAKER. And MOONRAKER sucked unholy ass! It's a good thing people! Embrace it!
-
No way, no how!
-
To me, this is Bond. All of the others except maybeye Connory were pretenders.
-
Bah... I was reserving judgement, but now that I've seen the trailer I'm officially disappointed. I was willing to accept the Bond prequel premise with the idea that they'd do something interesting with it... maybe digitally add the original M & Q... maybe have it take place in the late 50s/early 60s. The b&w beginning to the trailer teased me into thinking they'd do that. Since they kept the same supporting cast members, it looks all weird. I suppose I could let myself imagine that this isn't really a prequel, that James Bond isn't his real name... that they periodically give a new agent the name and the 007 number. Kinda like how Star Trek would keep making new Enterprises. heh As for Daniel Craig, he looks less like a secret agent and more like a thug - tough & rugged rather than genteel & classy. Eh... if there's nothing else good in theaters in November, and if I can spare the time & money, maybe I'll go see it. I'm no 007 fanboy, but this looked bug fuggled or whatever that AICN term is. lol
-
I am giving Craig the chance he deserves, lets see how he does fellas, i admit there are some shots where he looks like he could be the villain but lets just cross our fingers. The trailer kicked the shit out of me, Best EVER!
-
If they cast a pretty boy for an action hero, you complain. If they cast someone "unconventional looking" you complain. And DC isn't even a scarecrow, just not gay porn material. He actually looks like he got his face kicked by KGB agents a few times till he got his 007 number. What's wrong with a wee bit of realism? It's still basically a fantasy film, like all Bond movies.
-
I'm not going to analyze it, I'm just going to see it. That may be a visceral reaction but that's what Bond is about. And I honestly wouldn't mind if this was the last Bond. Anyways, the filming looks like it was done very well and I don't remember seeing any gadgets. Bring it on.
-
EXACTLY!! I have friends who are gay and I am the farthest person from being anti-gay that there is, so, anyone who says I am anti-gay for saying this can go fuck themselves. But what straight man gives a flying fuck about how pretty James Bond is?! For the love of God... can you imagine Aragorn if that fucking dipshit from the Lestat movie played him?! Daniel has been Bond since Layer Cake for me. Everyone who wants to see Bond be pretty needs to fucking stop acting like they even like James Bond movies. I don't care if you want to fuck men, but get a fucking clue... James Bond is a womanizing son of a bitch with a fucking license to kill... not a fucking model for GQ. Boy movie. If you aren't a boy, stay the fuck out of the James Bond conversations.
-
I agree with you 100% on the whole "damsel-in-distress" thing. It's entirely too played out. At the end of the day, I'll accept it as a scenario, but I really wish that producers/screenwriters would be more receptive to the idea of just leaving the stakes on the battle itself.
-
First time since the 60's it actually looks like it might not just be fun, but actually good.
-
All the hardcore Bond fans' preffered actors for the role turned the producers down, from Clive Owen who shot it down pretty quickly to Hugh Jackman. Even Eric Bana turned it down. Nobody other Brosnan wanted to play the part but obviously the producers wanted to go with someone else. Daniel Craig was pretty much the Broccoli's Plan C or D.
-
Even though it really does look good I have to say that every time a new Bond movie is about to come out everyone acts like it's going to be the first "real Bond movie." Then they get disappointed because it doesn't meet all their preconceived notions. I'm still seeing this one on opening day just like I have since A View To A Kill came out (didn't see License To Kill on the first day but had a good reason to miss it).
-
After all the crying we've done about hack pretty boys and now we are judging Daniel Craig on his looks??? First of all, the guy is handsome. Maybe not in a pretty way but ruggedly so. I could understand if the guy was some sort of troll but I don't have alot of trouble picturing Daniel Craig getting women. And second and most importantly he's a fantastic actor. Just excellent. The intensity it looks like he's going to bring to the role is exactly what this franchise needed. Would you prefer they go with Orlando Bloom? Jesus people get a fucking clue. They went with the best actor, as they should have.
-
I can honestly that I have been excited by the trailers for all the recent Bond films (Brosnans that is - too young to remember Daltons, I'm only 25) and have been entertained by the final products. In fact, only Die Another Day proved near unwatchable upon second viewing. I'm expecting entertainment en mass from this movie from a character whom i LOVE more then the beautiful women he plows. Bond is a brand of entertainment and there are a LOT of people over-annalysing the franchise past and future. Let Bond be Bond. Let Craig be Bond and thank your lucky stars they learnt their lesson from Lazenby.
-
He goes on and on about his looks so much he HAS to be overcompensating for something.
-
...The whole way I've thought that while Daniel Craig certainly looks the part I wasn't sure he'd pull it off. You could say I'm indifferent towards him as an actor. And honestly I thought Martin Campbell wouldn't step up his game, he's always been solid but very much paint-by-numbers.
From the looks of the trailer I was wrong on both counts. Hopefully the film lives up to the potential promised... -
...aren't we all savvy enough by now to know that the level of enticement in a trailer has absolutely ZERO correlation with the quality of the movie? Casino Royale might very well be fantastic (I hope that it is), and this trailer was just fine, but it takes a hell of a lot more for my "butt to be kicked in." Never mind - I actually enjoy being a curmudgeon.
-
Seriously Fanboys. Does it really fucking matter? I mean, look at it this way. Connery was THE Bond. After a miss with Lazenby (really...the poor guy was doomed with the act he had to follow) and a campy Roger Moore (who was cheezy 70's fun), there was Dalton. Now Dalton is a great and witty actor, but by this time the series was looking seriously tired. Then Brosnan. Brosnan is amazing. He really seemed suave and badass and cool, all-in-one. Just one problem. The movies he made as Bond did not live up to his acting as Bond. Sorta like the Superman movies with Chris Reeve. Reeve was perfect, but those movies are a B minus affair. Reeve carried those films. Anyway...that last Bond with Halle Berry SERIOUSLY sucked. That POS reminded me a whole lot of Moonraker!! But at least Moonraker was so stupid it was funny. Really, the guy with the diamonds in his face and the streaked scars PAST the embedded diamonds. Ugh. So much for those weak movies. Brosnan is much better with a good script. The Thomas Crowne remake was smooth fun! Anyway...I'm reminded by the SNL joke - "Regarding the choice of Daniel Craig, Fans haven't been this disappointed since the last 25 Bond movies." I've been watching these things since I was a child. Its about fucking time they mix things up. I don't care anymore it Bond isn't suave or has black hair or plays poker. Bond is really on fucking life support at this time. How many fucking times do we have to see the same lame stories over and over and over and OVER and OVER AND OVER AND OVER?!!?? I'd settle for the Gay Bond at this point. Anything, just to give this franchise a shot in the arm!! Besides....I can't think of a single actor who could out-suave Brosnan's performance, so why try to play up that angle. It'd be Lazenby all over again. Yes, Clive Owen would've been good, but did you see his body in Croupier? He looked skinny and flabby believe it or not! They'd have to CGI his teeny girl tits for Chrisake. I'm all for Bond as a tough muthuhfucker! I only wish there was a totally new director affiliated with this. Same production team....right?
-
Some good points (although I wouldn't know shit about Superman). First up, I'm a supporter of Craig. I have been since I saw L4yer Cake (before he was announced as Bond). But Clive Owen would have been BRILLIANT. I say this purely on viewing him in Closer. He was at once INTENSE and darkly witty and would have made for an intimidating Bond (I reference the scene where he BLOWS UP at Julia Roberts). Still, Craig is a worthy choice. Also, is anybody else impressed at the lack of CG fuelled action scenes and all the practical effects?! God that last 1hr of Die Another Day... and the first hour...
-
Ummm... go watch the trailers for the other Bond movies and tell me you can't tell how sucky they were going to be. Some movies look 10 times better in the trailers, no doubt, but what's in this trailer that is good shows exactly what is going to be in the movie. Daniel Craig's performance is nailing Bond. And, come on, see him in anything else he's been in and tell me that of all the movies he's going to be in that he's going to fuck up James Bond?! Come on. This is the lightest weight character he's ever played. HE'S bringing the meat to the character just like Christian Bale did with Batman. And the action here... this is exactly the kind of action that the director excels at. It's not the overall trailer that gets me. It's the stuff I know to look for in a James Bond movie that they are nailing that makes me excited. And that fucking badass version of the theme. Plus... that shot of the girl in the water... that pissed off defiant even in death look... and Daniels close up look... they just gone and made a grown up James Bond. About... fucking time.
-
and how
-
I haven't been this excited about a 007 film since "Goldeneye". Count me in on watching this on opening night. I just hope that it doesn't spawn any suckass followups like any Bond film after "Goldeneye".
-
Just saw a preview for Crank and it looked pretty much on par with what I saw here... just with the classic 007 music added. heh Maybe it'll rock. Maybe it'll grow on me. Maybe the trailer poorly represented the movie. Just sayin' very little in the trailer really looked like what I'd expect to see in a Bond flick. But hey, I'm no 007 expert. I haven't even gone to one since Tomorrow Never Dies. Now if they wanted to go the traditional route, and if he'd be willing to accept, I'd vote for Ewen McGregor. Maybe he'll be the next one after Craig.
-
Best part was Bond chasing the car looking like the T-1000.
-
I mean MetalWater... The two kills are not just faceless thugs or a plane full of terrorists, leave those for John McClane. Bond must eliminate a major high-up-the-food-chain BAD GUY and then get out alive. That is the challange. Any badge wearing doughnut chomper can take down a crack dealer, but 00 agents are for the international big bad, cat carrying uber-villans... You sir, obviously am not a bond, james bond fan... sorry about the 13 year old wanker remark, but dude...
-
Bond should be an ice cold killer not a pretty boy poof, Craig is perfect. The best Bond is coming....
-
I' surprised nobody's mentioned this underrated movie based on John Le Carre's book. Those of you saying Pierce Brosnan should have a chance to make a real spy film need to see this. Brosnan is great as a realisticly gritty MI6 agent, a wily SOB that has better seduction skills than all the Bonds put together (incl Brosnan's). His scenes w/Catherine McCormack are smoldering. The way he manipulates both the CIA and the Brits shows brains beyond Bond. The only thing that was missing from this movie to make it a real Brosnan Bond flick was over the top cartoonish action straight outta XXX or Spy Kids.
-
...that is, the over the top cartoonish action, straight outta XXX or Spy Kids, that damned all the Bond flicks post-Goldeneye.
-
A fucking poker game in Bond?? That is just WTF? This looks utterly shitty to the corp. That was some ghey ass dialogue and whoever thought this guy was a good idea for Bond is a complete fucktwit. I'll be glad when this fucker bombs so they will either stop or do it right.
-
He made that character simultaneously hilarious and pathetic, no easy feat.
-
Im just either gonna assume you are either being sarcastic or are either 13 years old Or a fucking retard. Either way im gonna go ahead and educate you on the history of Bond. THIS WAS THE FIRST FUCKING BOOK ABOUT BOND EVER WRITTEN BY IAN FLEMMING WHO INVENTED THE CHARACTER, and he HAS to play poker int he movie its integral to the plot dumbass, thats what Bond does and its classic to the core of his character. Now please dont comment on shit your IQ clearly cant hold a snowballs chance in hell next to. If you were being sarcastic, Hahaha funny shit dude, Bond ... Poer who woulda thunk it??
-
agreed, dude. although in the book bond plays baccarat not poker. I actually support the decision for the change though because poker is a game of skill, baccarat relies purely on chance, so bond can win with his skills not by lucking out.

An OK-ish trailer but I think Craig's too good an actor and Campbell too savvy a director to flub the ball on this. I can't help feeling that this will be an 'interesting failure' and they'll just simply recast after this reboot with some more traditional male-model type. Brosnan was potentially great, but lets' face it after 'Goldeneye' it was all downhill from there on in, with an overload on Roger Moore cheesy-ness, to much pastiche and bouffant haircuts. HOWEVER for 'Casino Royale': the choir on the soundtrack sucked enormous balls - really, really bad, some of the lighting looked a bit run of the mill and 'flat' for my tastes, I HATE shots of sports cars rolling down nice clean, open spaces/roads like an empty airstrip - it looks so artificial, unimaginative and basically lame like the 'boys at Pinewood' have 'knocked something up' with a second unit director and also the dialogue seemed very suspect and suprisingly unmemorable to me. But, I have faith in Craig and think he'll do a fine job, shame that Bale couldn't have had a stab - I mean when he reappears as Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins at Waynecorps who else is he playing but Bond! And he looks a natural in gthat role, hard, immaculately dressed with a devilish look in his eye and lets face it Bale seems to have cornered the market in psychos these days. Why Nolan even said he based aspects of that film on OHMSS, which is cool in my book. And also for the next one, Brian Cox as Blofeld!!! Bring back SPECTRE!!
-
Bur I can see his as Roland Deschain the Gunslinger
-
This is without a doupt the badest most fucked up Bond trailer I've ever seen. Bring it on I say. Craig is the mo fokking bomb as Bond. Fuck the nay sayers, let them stroke their croch and cry while watching Brosnan fuck Denise Richards in her Tomb Raider outfit. Gadgets and glamor killed the franchise. This will surely bring it back with a vengeance.
oh and anchorite. Are you the dude that made those "Boycot Craig" petitions online? You sure got allot of hate for one film. -
During the wacky chase scenes? Didn't they learn anything from the Roger Moore era?
-
I think Dalton was the best Bond since connery but got a bad draw with shitty films. Moore had one cracking movie and a lot of campy fun. lazenby was shit. Pierce Brosnan was not bond- he runs like a girl and I was never seriously convinced that he could kill someone without putting his lipstick on. Craig deserves a chance- just as thanks for getting away from the misery of the Brosnan years. Whichever dipshit said the world is not enough is a great bond film can go and rewatch the comlpete works of Michael Bay as that is all that they are mentally capable of.
-
I am looking forward to this movie.
-
Craig looks awesome as Bond (although I thought he'd make a good Bond back when Layer Cake was released) and this trailer just confirms it. I can't wait to see this!
-
has a tiny penis, you can see it in the bathtub in some other penis. bond can't have a tiny penis. you know connery is packing.
-
Couldn't they have done some wild stunts, like strap Bond into a hovercraft and drop him out of a cargo plane or something? Or jump a motorcycle into a crevasse and land on a pogo stick?
-
I had low expectations, but Craig looks great and the style is dead on
-
Seriously? I cannot remember one within the last 15 years.
-
Fuck all you Craig hating son of bitches. This looks fuckin amazing. Brosnan is my favorite Bond, but i'll be damned if Craig doesn't look the shit.
-
Respect where respect is due. This looks fuckin ace.
-
I think there's one guy posting under a few different names here. Daniel Craig IS James Bond. Live with it, because frankly, it looks like the mainstream press is behind him, and I think the general public is gonna be too. Put it this way, my wife had ZERO interest in James Bond until she saw Craig in the last trailer. Let me also say she's a HUGE Brosnan fan, owns the entire run of REMMINGTON STEELE. Still would not see the Brosnan Bond pictures. EON took a risk, and it works, score one for bucking the status quo.
-
Does the George Lazenby action figure look a little like George Bush?
-
Not since Connery... Huzzah!!
-
He is. He was cast as the central character in the new Bond film some time ago. It's called Casino Royale and it will be out in November.
-
But I'd be first do say I was wrong on the new Bond.
-
I do believe the days of the slapstick bullshit of Random-British-Guy-as-Bond days are over. Go watch Dr. No again and tell me that Sean Connery doesn't come off as much of a bad-ass thug as Daniel Craig does in this one. This looks great - a true 00 for the '00s!
-
put this, "300", and "The Fountain" on things I'm looking forward to.
-
since the opening minutes of Goldeneye. And yes, I expected Bond to actually catch up to the car ala T2.
-
I thought he looked too young to be Maximilian Schell, but I couldn't place him. Now I remember him, mainly as the police inspector in Hannibal.
-
im with the looks like the best one since goldeneye people. Bond changes so much so fuck it. there be a new one in a couple of years. i always thought the Timothy Dalton ones were the best too by the way.
-
...where Connery as Bond reads a Playboy in public in an airport or something, smiling as he tilts the magazine vertical to check out the centerfold. Then later, he kicks ass. It was the early 60s, so maybe they could get away with it, but I always liked a bit of political incorrectness with my 007. I also agree with the folks here who say that I'm tired of the woman / bimbo in distress thing. Chicks are mere accessories in Bond movies, so much so that you really can't tell 'em apart from one movie to the next unless they were already a known star (Grace Jones, Denise Richards, Maude Adams, etc.) They could make Bond gay for all I care, I'm so tired of the bimbos. Just go spy, shoot and beat some people up. And please, no skiing. I think like every goddamn Roger Moore 007 flick had skiing in it.
-
Looks good, no CG, real stunts. Bring it on.
-
...is the fact that he looks like a fucking madman. At anypoint, I believe that he would reach across that table and strangle Le Chiffre. Unlike Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan who both looked like 11-year-old girls throwing punches, Daniel Craig looks like he could kill you with his bare hands and think nothing of it. He looks completely unpredictable and insane, ready to kill anyone that gets in his way. Now that's James Fucking Bond.
-
Don't understand the Craig hate, he looks like he could and would kill you, (and the guy's banged Sienna Miller and Kate Moss so he aint that ugly), roll on November.
-
When I heard about the reboot, I nearly coughed up a lung. After seeing the trailer, I'm there in Nov.
-
Trailers are deceptive. Still, I'm sure it will be entertaining. Daniel Craig is a good actor. Liked him in Munich and Road to Perdition. He can't be any worse than a decade of Roger Moore.
-
They're going back to the drawing board, throwing out all of the crap that has built up in the minds of the public and going in a completely different direction. Craig was the farthest thing from Bond in my mind, and I hated his casting. But this trailer does indeed look very good, and if they can successfully make us believe that this cold hardass killer is Bond, then they will have done their job, and completely rebooted the franchise.

This looks fantastic... I just went and dug out my ORIGINAL copy of Casino Royale to re-read this week! I can't wait for this film! Craig WILL be brilliant! Now with regards to an opening theme performer I think they should go with someone British. Someone with the cold arrogance and swagger of a James Bond. So before you all freak... my choice is .... OASIS! Seriously. Download and listen to the London Royal Philharmonic's version of 'Supersonic' and tell me that IN ITSELF isn't a Bond theme! The Swaggering horn section... the ripping electric guitar! Hell! Don't even use words! Use THAT song!!! Either that or get Shirley Bassey back!!!

As usual I can't see anything AICN links to...
-
What do you think about that? There have been some good opening songs performed by guys but I always prefer the ladies.
-
this is DEFINITELY something i'm looking forward too....craig kicks some major ass! and taps some too :)
-
The Matador and Thomas Crown are 4/5 star movies. Great films that held their own. His bond films never rose above 3 stars. him losing the bond movies may not be good for his bank account but as long as he keeps making as good a films as these then he should have a better career
-
but that looks fucking sweet. The only Bond movies that were actually good were the Sean Connery ones and the first two Brosnan. Moore was pretty campy, and you could laugh at his movies, but I wouldn't call them good. Hopefully all the naysayers are wrong about this movie.
-
that's a motherfucking trailer.
-
I wouldn't go see this unless I saw very positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. A good trailer doesn't mean that much.
-
The genesis of Bond, like how he got started. If that's true, I would think they should have set this movie in the 50s or something. Made it look like it happened before the Connery movies. That still would have been sweet.
-

Wow... this looks like it may be the only Bond movie...
by scarranhalfbreed
...I can watch all the way through without daydreaming. Let's face it, apart from Connery, the Bond movies are pretty boring. When there's no action in it, the dialogue just sends me into a stupor. And what the fuck is up with his one-liners??? Give me Jason Bourne any day. If they've "Bourned" this up like they reckon, I'll be first in line.
-
What does Eva Green say to Bond??? "I will be keeping an eye on our government's money...and off perfectly formed WHAT??!! Owls? What???
It's that damned accent. Someone please tell me what she says... grr. -
Looks like the first Bond movie to get excited about since Goldeneye. This is how they should have used Brosnan all along, but hindsight is 20/20.
-
spent a lot of time explaining baccarat, didn't it? Maybe this was mentionted in this TB already but i'd imagine they changed it to poker so they wouldn't have to spend 30 minutes telling the audience how baccarat works.
I think CR will be good. Craigs no Connery but he's gotta be better then Moore. -
Seriously. He doesn't look like Bond either. Imagine that trailer with a suave/tough good looking actor. Craig just isn't the whole package.
-
I can't stand the guy. Soundgarden and and Temple of the Dog were styaples on rock radio when Audioslave hit. Add in the new stuff being in constant rotation, and you end up with a Cornell song being played every other minute (or at least it seemed that way). I got sick of his voice, plain and simple. Outside of Spoonman, I just can't tolerate the guy. If only they could get U2 to actually do the theme. Which one did Bono write? Was it Tina Turner's Goldeneye, or was it Sheryl Crow's Tomorrow Never Dies? Too bad Paul McCartney and Duran Duran couldn't team up for one. Outside of Carly Simon and Gladys Night, they had the best bond themes.
-
Bono and Edge wrote Goldeneye, and in a weird way I thought it was class, if a bit limp. themes have to sneak in the Bond motif in the verse. Eager to hear the Cornell...
-
I just don't see him and his voice doing a good Bond theme. Of course, I thought Garbage would be garbage (pardon the pun) but that actually turned out well. Of course they had a chick lead siger. Hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised but I don't count on it.
-
...Sheena Easton's For Your Eyes Only. I like Duran Duran's View to a Kill Theme, even if it does date itself with its synths. But I'd say yeah, Nobody Does it Better by Carly Simon and Sheena's Easton's themes are best. They should have Glenn friggin Danzig sing an operatic theme.
-
now thats what you call a bond movie.
-
I mean, seriously awesome. No lasers, no death rays, no Pierce Brosnan. And anyone, ANYONE who is worried about Craig hasn't seen Layer Cake. There was no part of that trailer that didn't make me excited... cept maybe the chick possibly dying in the elevator. And if you see that trailer as just a good trailer you weren't paying attention. There are multiple locations, and many many things going on in that movie. I can't wait.
-

They should have brought back Shirley Bassey to sing
by excaliburffolkes
the theme song for the new Bond. It would have fit the re-boot tone perfectly, as Bassey's themes for "Goldfinger", "Diamonds are Forever", and "Moonraker" were the most vintage sounding of the songs they ever used in the series. They were the most Bond-ish sounding songs, as well.
-
shit sniffing gonad wart of a cunt. He played Baccarat in the book you goat fucking fuck face. Replacing that with poker is simply trying to cash in on the fact that every dumbass (such as yourself) with a pair of sunglasses thinks he's Kenny Rogers The Gambler. Seeing as how you actually went through the trouble to make a name for a guy that nearly drowned his costars with spit from his lisp I really don't expect much more from you. You were probably enthralled by that idiotic microwave plot device weren't you? Yeah you're as stupid as you are fugly I'm sure. When you get done face fucking yourself you ignorant shit stain perhaps you should take the rold up book you use to put gerbils in your ass and read it you worthelss pussy of a man. I bet you're the type of guy that get's slapped in the back of the head by his father because he cries himself to sleep at night for spawning such a cunt. In closing, fuck you very much you ass eating red neck.
-
Craig has wrinkles in his face that are deeper than my fucking ass crack.
-
sideshow Dalton Bond being advertised? It looks like a bloated Albert Finney.
-
Merrick I recall you reviewing a draft of the script a few months back. I know this is merely a trailer, but do the clips we saw in it accurately reflect bits you read in the script, or are there bits of new dialogue and/or scenes that weren't there?
-
Ok. Connery was a thug in the earlier movies. He snuck around killing people and screwing chicks while making lewd comments at them. You think he was classy cause he dressed well and was intelligent, but half of his lines would merit an R for content today. That train fight with Robert Shaw proves what a thug he is. Brosnan and his slick kung fu would've gotten smeared. That fight was dirty and thuggish and thats why we love Connery. The reason people don't like Moore and Brosnan as much is because they still have the "suave" bits, but don't have serious/thugness to balance it out. and B: Craig is FUGLY?! congrats you talkbackers aren't gay and dont find men attractive. My girlfriend and most women I know wouldn't pause for a second to hop in bed with Daniel Craig. Have you seen the list of women he's been with in real life? He's fared as well or better than Connery. I can't wait for Craig and his line in this about not caring about the people he killed was killer (pardon the pun).
-
...so I have no preconceived notion of his acting ability or his prettiness/ugliness. My opinion of Bond movies is that their the Harlequin Romances of action films: change the girl, change the setting, occasionally change the Bond, and they're the same story and boring as hell. I own one Bond film, and THAT'S only because of the villain.
This looks like a real departure from the hackneyed series. I really do think I'll go see this one. -
Best Bonds: Dr. No, For Your Eyes Only (love that Greek chick), OHMSS, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, The Spy Who Loved Me/ Worst Bonds: The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Tomorrow Never Dies, Goldeneye, A View to a Kill (one of the best songs though)
-
O RLY?
-
him in trunks.
-
People are not giving this guy a chance as Bond. At first I was in that crowd, but after seeing the teaser, and now the trailer, I can't wait to see it. The director who did this movie also did Goldeneye, which is one of my favs (and Bronsons only good bond movie). Bond is back baby!
-
A few thoughts on the whole Casino Royale thing. First off, my one complaint about Daniel Craig (and it's a minor one) is that he seems a bit old. If this is essentially "007 Begins", he should be about 5 or 6 years younger. Connery was 32 when he first played Bond. My choice would have been Christian Bale, but being cast as Batman effectivly killed that. Yes, Daniel Craig is not classically handsome, but he has a kind of Steve McQueen cool that I like. Pierce Brosnan "played" cool. Daniel Craig has cool, like Connery. He seems like a guy who'd have a licence to kill. Brosnan always seemed needy, like he needed to be liked. (In fact, he seemed a bit whiney about not doing another Bond) Craig seems like he doesn't give a shit. (In fact, I think he'd be a great choice to play General Zod, if the character is revived) I have hopes for the film. I only wish the producers had the balls to make it R rated. One of my other complaints is casting Judi Dench. Great actress, no doubt about it. But, if we're going back to the beginning, I'd rather have the crusty ol' admiral back as M. You could get Michael Gambon or Brian Cox, just to name two. I think it's better to have Bond play against a paternal figure rather than a maternal one. As for the "damsel-in-distress" moment, it's actually a critical moment in the original novel and I'm glad to see they put it in the movie. And to answer an earlier posters question, I think the scene he was wondering about, where Bond was looking at an issue of Playboy, holding it up to look at the centerfold was from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" when Bond was waiting for a gadget to open a safe for him.
-
Since they're remaking Casino Royale, I wish the Bond producers would just go ahead and start remaking the other Fleming novels. I'd love to see some A or even B list directors getting a crack at Bond. John Woo doing Doctor No with Chow Yun Fat in the title role. The Oldboy director (his name escapes me) doing "You Only Live Twice" Brian dePalma or Ridley Scott doing "From Russia,With Love" (with Jason Statham as Red Grant). Spike lee or John Singleton doing "Live And Lat Die" Danny Boyle doing "Diamonds Are Forever". John McTiernan doing "Thunderball"
Along the same lines, I wish they'd end the movie with the ol' "James Bond will return in..." I miss those. And bring abck S.P.E.C.T.R.E. -
Who cares if he's blonde? Who cares if he's not Sean Connery? Who cares if they all got shot at the end of Blakes 7? Oh hang on, lost my thread there for a second...You know, I love my bond films and I'm willing to give his interpretation of Bond a chance off of the back of that. I can't see how anyone can slag his performance before even seeing the film, talk about judging a book by it's cover. I like the idea of a gritty and dark Bond. He was a total c**t in the original novels!
-
Bond has ALWAYS had brown hair. Why didn't they just dye his? It's not like I'm going to boycott the film, because the trailer looks pretty good, but I don't think "Hey, look! It's James Bond!" when I look at Craig, especially with the blond locks. Maybe he'll grow on me. He's certainly got talent, but I'll miss Brosnan.
-
everyone on sites like this, and in the rest of the world would've given them more shit for a Bond, who dyes his hair. You know, for the record, neither Christian Bale, or Michael Keaton look much like the Bruce Wayne of the comics and they did just fine.
-
..got 'it'. He is one sexy MFer and a really bad boy to boot. I'm loving it....
-
as attractive if they look like comic book characters. And anchorite... DAniel Craig is cool as hell.
-
"Crank transports Bond to a new generation." - Joel Siegel
-
...and this trailer has nothing that would make me want to see it.
-
Can't wait!
-
but why isnt this brosnans swan song? wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-
wow pretty harsh you fucker. who the fuck cares if there playing poker and not bacarat. so it was in the book, woop-de-freakin-doo. its 2006 buddy, more people can relate to poker than that shit. not everything from books translates well to movies ya know. its fruckin Bond, would ya cry if he was playing craps or roulette. probably cause your a winey little bitch. i can tell just from your screen name. quite original ya fag.
-
Only now after seeing the total badass that is Daniel Craig as Bond do I realize how distracting Pierce Brosnan's looks were. He was too much of a pussy for Bond. Craig is fucking awesome, and to those who haven't seen him act, watch "Road to Perdition" or "Layer Cake." He's quite good. And with Cornell singing the theme song "You Know My Name," I will be in heaven. And FUCK, "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny" comes out the same day!!!!
-
K U got me on the Baccarat thing but not letting your stupid ass get off that easy! To think the movie will suck because they changed the game to poker is just an internet geek trying to come up with stupid reasons the movie will suck. The very fact that you think Batman talked with a lisp in begins and that it sucked points to your naivity and flat out hate. Begins is the best comic book movie by far, why dont you do us all a favor and stop talking since all you can seem to do is spew shit about films youd never beable to aproximate in your lifetime. For the record im a filmmaker, im black, and im not fugly.... like you.
-
serious business.
They're playing cards...who cares.
As for Craig not being young enough, wasn't it rumored that he's playing a different 007 and that the name 'bond' was just a codename? Perhaps someone thats read the script can chime in on that one -
They didn't darken his hair because he looks like a seventy year old man with a toupee when he has black hair. He looks miles too old for a reboot and that voice...zzzzzzz...
-
...he wishes I was.
-
Oops... damn Enter button.. OK... I can't tell anyone to like or not like what they see. If you dont like it then you don
-
He was actually pushing for a grittier, more violence and less camp Bond all the while. It's not ihs fault they got increasingly goofier.
-
Daniel Craig is the weak point. Seriously picture that same trailer with a younger guy. PLaying a fresh MI6 agent falling for the girl and getting burned. They were close to perfect I guess but he really isn't right for Bond in the incarnation they have set up there.
-
36 or 37 isn't "Too Old" if you look ok, but Craig looks like he's in his 40's easy.
-
So why don't you?
-
I am there. I had this feeling with the teaser, but this works for me. As for Craig as Bond, I think Moore was the farthest of Bond. Come on, all this Craig-baiting before we've seen the complete performance... They want a rougher and harder Bond and they got it with Dan Craig. My personal choice, as is everyone's else choice, would be Clive Owen or Eric Bana, but I think Craig is a solid choice. Action looks good, Bond is bad-ass and the women are smoking hot. What more do you want from a Bond movie?
-
What do they want in a Bond film? Obviously they want some foppish fart trading zingers with Grace Jones on the Space Shuttle while putting his hand down Barbara Bach's Union Jack panties. In short they want the MAD Magazine version of a James Bond movie.
-
Is this the new FLAMES ON OPTIMUS???
-
Blackshuck, that's EXACTLY what I want.
-
Over in Austin Power-land. Bond had some good funny lines in the good movies, but they weren't supposed to be known for their sense of humor. Bond isn't supposed to be a winking smirking superspy shooting around in ridiculous contraptions. Thats just what happened. I'm so glad they didn't end this trailer with some goofy catchphrase or clever line.
-
OK, Bond is a creature of the era he was created in, as such the British class system of that time is very important. Bond is a living embodiment of it, he covers all the bases, he is a projection of the ideal of both the working and upper class. Hence he is comfortable at a royal banquet yet easily fits in at some eastend criminal hangout of a boozer. He could probably discuss a game of footie as well as he could a game of polo. He can kill you with a rapier or with his bare knuckles. He is also a hardened misogynist. This is why Roger Moore was so badly cast. He never had the yin to the yang, the working class to the upper. Craig looks like he may be able to pull it off, and it is a great trailer, but the proof is in the pudding...

you're a silly cunt. That's all. Oh and so is anyone who thinks that bald twat Statham or Owen would be any good in this, or anyone who misses the pathetic humor and camp, or anything the shite films have given us since Connery/Lazenby. Read the fucking books for what Bond really is you uneducated cunts. Wander off and die while I enjoy what looks to be a real serious Bond.
-
The Bond series has never been an accurate depiction of the novels, even during the Connery years. All of that smirky stuff came from him and the filmmakers, not Fleming's work. In fact, one of the few Bond movies faithful to its source was one of the best - On Her Majesty's Secret Service. As for CR, I heard it follows the book closely. What this means is that finally, after the abomination of the Brosnan era, we will get Bond as he was meant to be.

"Moonraker" was entirely faithful to Fleming's novel of the same name.
-
Anyone who says different is a insane. That trailer was better than the last 4 Bond movies combined. And as for the Daniel Craig aint Bond brigade, man, they can suck Lazenby's cock and gag on his cream. Pussies. This movie will own you. Forever.

Hm. He certainly isn't classically handsome, and neither, apparently, is his Bond Girl this time round - she's sort of watery-looking, isn't she? Very product-of-incest European, and totally unlike, say, Famke Janssen, or even Michelle Yeoh. Don't know how I feel about this. On one hand, I think it's ballsy of the producers to eschew the suave, debonair-yet-still-macho Bonds of old, but on the other I don't know if a lower-middle-class Bond is who I really want to see. Daniel Craig is a strange actor, and I know they chose him because of his turn in "Layer Cake," but even after watching this trailer, I don't know if he and Bond are a good fit.
-
I'm sure they changed it to Poker because they thought taking the time to explain Bacarrat to the audience would be too difficult, even though it's not really not all that complicated. If you know the rules to Blackjack you can probably figure out Bacarrat in two minutes. I get why they did it, but still, switching Bacarrat for Texas Hold-Em is like switching "Vodka Martini, very dry, shaken not stirred" for "Budweiser"
-
The expense account snob with the black comma of hair, dashing and handsome. I love the books and I hate the casting of Craig. You can be handsome and tough. To get a tougher Bond you don't have to cast some weird looking bruiser who looks like he should be selling The Big Issue on a street corner.
-
Are you seriously trying to say that Octopussy and Moonraker are better than Licence To Kill?
-
There is no question that Bond today (and his creator Ian Fleming) would relish No Limit Hold 'Em, which, contrary to a previous post, is not Budweiser to baccarat's vodka martini. First of all, baccarat is largely a game of luck, and requires no where near the skill, the guts, the psychology or ego needed to win at NL Hold 'Em. Poker is one of the few games where the best hand doesn't always win. These are all reasons enough to make the switch to poker that much more compelling drama. I don't think the writers were afraid of explaining bacarrat (it's played in Dr. No, Thunderball, OHMSS and FYEO, to name four Bond films) The writers knew what makes good storytelling. The outcome will depend on how well Bond plays, not purely on the turn of the cards.

I'm there, plus, it'll have the new 2nd SPIDER-MAN 3 trailer...so I'll have a hell of time! You know this to be true.
-
Your all fucking idiots if you disagree. Fantastic actor, gonna shut everybody up. Im British which means I'm qualified to say this.
-
"...and requires no where near the skill, the guts, the psychology or ego needed to win at NL Hold 'Em. "
Bull. Ever heard of counting cards? Not to mention the fact that one of the characters in the book (Chemin De Fer) is named after a type of Baccarat.
In any case, I don't have much confidence that they're sticking to the novel. -
Looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.
-
I'm not understanding the criticism that Craig doesn't come off as "suave" enough. That "considerably" line wasn't suave? It made me think of Connery's first "Bond, James Bond" in Dr. No. And lets be honest - what Connery did that no one else has managed to do is play Bond as a true mysogynist - which you could do in 1960 and still be a likeable character. The game's a little different now. Hell, Connery's Bond had no problem with smacking the hell out of a woman to get her in line. Try putting that scene in a modern Bond movie. Every take on the character after Connery had him genuinely falling in love with the girl, which Connery never did. He fucked the girl - that's all. I'm hopeful that the little taste of "Bond in Love" that the trailer sets up is the (POSSIBLE SPOILERS) beginning of Bond's mysogyny. It's supposed to be based on the fact that he was responsible for the death of his one true love. That part of him is lost forever and that's why he can use women the way he does. If that's what we're going to see in CR, then maybe the subsequent Craig movies will have Bond as the hardcore woman hater we all loved in Connery so much. I'm looking forward to this. Oh, and the Texas Hold-Em switch is absolutely the right thing. This movie is set in modern times - no one plays Bacarat for high stakes anymore, and wasting screen time explaining it would be, well, a waste.
-
I'm psyched. And Eva Green is positively made out of breasts. HOT.

Sure, Poker is more skill oriented than Baccarat, and from a writing standpoint it was probably easier to do a dramatic poker game, but Baccarat (like Blackjack) is hardly a game devoid of skill. and while Baccarat was played in those other Bond Movies, you didn't really need to know the rules of the game to follow the stories of those films. If you've read Casino Royale you know that the Baccarat game is a major part of the story and following it is much more difficult if you don't know the rules. Also, I still contend that at least part of the reason for the change was because they don't think the audience is smart enough, after all these are the people that changed the title of the second Dalton movie from "License Revoked" to "License to Kill" because they thought not enough Americans knew what the word revoked means

Sometimes the "haters" are what makes this place so...tiresome. Be disappointed, fine, but really. As for this Bond junkie's opinion, I'm in agreement with Quint: that trailer rocked. Not only does Craig have an icily impressive presence as 007; not only does it look like they might really keep the "spine" of Fleming's plotline for the Vesper relationship intact (with some duly needed "opening up" of the novel), giving Bond fans subtle hope for an OHMSS-style ending; not only does Gianinni look primed to give us a great supporting perf in the Armendariz/Topol mold; not only do the fights and stunts look towards the messy, old-school style of the best Bonds; not only is Eva Green--sorry to be so base about it--SMOKIN' hot; not only does Mikkelsen appear to be channeling the accent of Louis Jourdan and Peter Lorre at the same time (and how much fun is that?)...but the trailer itself was cut together with the kind of pacing, intensity, and excitement that nobody does better than Bond. OK, maybe that's too much geeking for the trailer...but this Bond fan loved it.
-
This movie looks beyond awesome and Craig looks like he's gonna kick all SORTS of ass as Bond. Those morons who run that anti-Craig-for-Bond site must feel pretty stupid right about now.
-
Of course the books had an arch sense of humor as well, but it was tempered by the refined brutality of Bond himself. I mean, Oddjob, Pussy Galore and a flame haired nut named Auric Goldfinger were all in the book. That's why the Connery Bonds were so great - they captured the spirit of the books while expanding on the mythos. I really like the first two Roger Moore entries (yeah a bit campy) and I also agree that For Your Eyes Only was surprisingly good late era Moore. Lazenby a footnote, Dalton a missed opportunity (they talked of rebooting then but he was pretty stiff), and Brosnan -well he's actually a good actor and he may have been lobbying for a more 'realistic' Bond, but I think he came off pretty smarmy. Give Craig a chance (I must say though-why didn't they darken his hair? The technology does exist)
-
This will be the best Bond movie in years. You all know it.
will there be an invisable car? hahahaha Fuck Brosnan. -
the franchise has sunk to Bond imitating other movies. Hmm. Dark? Edgy? The agent relying on his wits instead of cool gadgets? No whimsy or playfulness? I've just described the Bourne movies. I mean, yes, the Moore Bond movies had the cringe-worthy scenes, like where a hobo glances at his wino bottle after witnessing an over-the-top car stunt, as if the sight were merely a hallucination, but instead of spending money on Casino Royale, I can just pop in one of the Bourne movies.
-
Actually, Dr. No was one of the first action films to start the whole "one-liner" business- a point addressed in the dvd's Making Of. But that's what it really comes down to: book vs. film. It seems that most people here aren't big fans of all the Bond movies, or else they only think the few serious entries are worthwhile. But the films (and their outlandish elements such as gadgets, etc.) are still what made James Bond such a cultural icon.
-
between the excess and bombast of Die Another Day, and the seemingly mid-budget, ordinary-looking flick that Casino Royale seems to be. Yeah, that trailer is awesome, . . . for a regular action movie. But this is supposed to be James Bond! Oh, and the hate for Tomorrow Never Dies is bewildering. That was a great Bond movie. Brosnan's best. And on the subject, Moore's best was The Spy Who Loved Me, and Connery's was Goldfinger.
-
Do any of you whiners know anything about Baccarat? I learned before rereading CR recently, so those chapters wouldn't be as boring. It's all luck and show. No skill at all. None. Uno requires more skill, no exaggeration.
-
Craig looks and acts more like Fleming's Bond than any actor to date. I credit Connery for defining the movie role, but he ranks below Craig, Dalton, and Brosnan as far as capturing what I get from Fleming's books.
-
For copyright reasons. Look up the novel of Thunderball on Wikipedia (no link for you).

I fell out of love with Bond many moons ago, finding the movies increasingly tiresome, repetitive and juvenile...For me they failed to move with the times, choosing instead to remain in the same tyre-track and continually exist on the explosive set-piece, the crazy (I
-
Bond knocks unconcious and shoots an unarmed womanin those film, respectivley. I'm all for making Bond grittier and more like the novels but they should have done it when Brosnan asked him to, instead of canning him.
-
i'm wathing the trailer, and the more than usual tropical setting shown (which btw in the novel it went nowhere near a tropical setting, in fact it was a f'n CASINO) that they're trying to replicate Connery's films a LITTLE too much considering Dr. No was in Jamaica? I mean think of some originality shit. I bet the next film will be all dark and take place at night a lot in some european area with an evil anti-Bond assassin goes after Craig.
