Casino Royale
Basically, I'm thinking of going to see the new Bond film with the missus. But is it worth splashing £20 odd on?

I live out in the sticks, and the nearest cinema is 12 miles away, so £13 odd for entry, few quid for fuel, and sweets for the missus. ~ £20.

what the dang. you guys pay that much for movies over there?
im in canada, i paid the equivilant of £3 to see it last week.
but yeh, great movie. Daniel Craig did an excellent job of playing Bond. i thought he would screw up the character, but he was awesome.
and they did a good job keeping a good balance of the classic bond elements. Craig was alot more like Connery, than Brosnan.

Not sure
As said before, "Bond but not as you know it".
Great start slow middle and a bit more gritty.
No "Q", but i suppose this is the first book, and it represents Bond first big outing. so im sure the old Bond will return when the next
film comes out.
Worth watching but not a patch on "The Bourne Identity" or Supremacy"

Best Bond film so far.

Si, made me smile that you add up the fuel costs when taking your missus to the flicks. . I remember doing that when I was your age Go into
town, cinema, chips, bus home and still have change out of 10 bob. How times have changed.....
As for the film - I took my wife who thought it was great and she HATES James Bond with a passion, so that is a good endorsement! The kids thought it
was good too, and I think it is the best Bond to date - less cheesy lines and no bombs being de-fused with 1 second left on the timer (again). Some
will say that ruins part of the Bond "charm", but I think they have improved it.
Cheers

Go and see it. Take a Notepad and pen, and try and spot as many product placements as you can
Seriously though, I thought it was quite good. Definately worth the ticket!
Cheers

Definately worth a watch. The product placements werent as bad as the last few, except for the bit with the mondeo he gets from the Airport in the
Bahamas. Was like a Ford advert!
I just wrote loads on why had a slight empty feeling at the end of the film, then realised I had just spoiled the whole plot of the film! That was
close!

Cheers for that! Plot spoilers would be a bit rubbish really!

How can you spoil a Bond plot?
I haven't seen this one yet but I bet he get a shag, gets beat up and finally gets the baddie.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I Think Daniel Craig was great, one moment he's looks cold hearted then the next moment he smiles and you see the human side.
I really enjoyed it too, i found the last few quite cartoonish, but this imho is the best bond ive seen yet.
