Is anyone else really looking forward to this film. After seeing Die Another Day (which had a fantastic opening thinking you was going to see a totally different Bond film) I vowed not to watch another Bond film again, but through gradual hype has got me really interested.
So what does everyone think? You interested? What do you hope to see? Will the bad guy foolishly leave his glamorous assistant alone with Bond?

I might see it, but for the wrong reasons lol. I wanna see the casino tournament parts, now that I'm a croupier lol, gotta see how the professionals do it :-p. Plus my croupier teacher helped in the movie lol.

I've heard nothing but praise for this movie and some are saying that DC is up there amongst the best Bond's ever. Still, I'll probably wait for the DVD though.

I watched Lara Croft (with Daniel Craig) last night and both my friend who was here and I decided he just doesn't look right for Bond - luckily Pierce Brosnan was on the other channel in Tomorrow Never Dies - SWOOOOOON

I cant wait to see it as I think he was an excellent choice for Bond. He was just amazing in Layer Cake...If any of you lot havent seen Layer Cake, deff rent it out, tis totally amazin Basketball

He was excellent in that! On the radio today someone said he was good, but lacked emotion in the romantic scenes. Also they were disappointed with the lack of gadgets. Lisa x

;ayer cake has to me in my top 10 films of all times. I just LOVE it!! Oh and he was totally hot in that film! I heard him on radio one quickly today and he seemed like a really nice bloke, but still these films just don't do it for me.

The fact they've cut away from the gadgets pleases me, seems like recent bond film have been an excuse to be an advert for BMW's and mobile phones. Plus that means nothing nothing stupid like an invisible car.

I love the gadgets, so hope there are a few decent ones in this. Lisa x

Think they have made a deliberate effort to take it back closer to the original books, where Bond was a gritty, hard bastard... I'm looking forward to it, I think some of the recent films have been farcical.

Yep I think the 'back to basics' is what is appealing to me.
