This isn't Casino Royale. The original with Niven, Sellers, Allen, et al was on cable the other night. Now that's an great Bond flick.

Me too :(

Craig fits the exact description of Bond by Ian Flemming. As much as I like Owen, I don't think he would have been a good Bond.

I think Craig looks like he belongs on a surf board the whole movie. He couldn't deliver the lines, blond hair, blue eyes? Not Bond.

Ha, it will be a cold day in hell before I go see a movie just because it has a good rating on one of the worse movie rating websites on the Internet.

I actually find rotten tomatoes to be the best rating website

I want to get back into the Bond films, but everything after Goldeneye was so awful. Way too much product placement and I think I got tired of the Bond formula. This could be a good resurrection of the franchise, but I can't get past how much of a big pussy Craig is in real life. The fight scene clip on the RT page is dull. I don't feel anything from it and the music seems force.

Convince me otherwise! I want to believe!!

I applaud this reinvention of the Bond franchise, however I don't think that this new ultra-dark modern action movie thriller Bond is quite what Fleming had in mind. Sean Connery IS James Bond. OHMSS is the best Bond movie, IMO the closest adaptation to the novel.

I watched it tonight. I think it's the best bond movie I've ever seen. Very very good.

What you said confuses me... but I can't help but agree.
