I hate the way they made Javier Bardem look. Blonde doesn't work on him at all. Just because James Bond has blonde hair now his nemesis does too? :p

Will definitely see it. Casino Royale was an all time great movie. Quantam of Solace obviously not near as good, but not bad either.

Is going to be awesome. That is all.

UK release - 26th October
US release - 9th November

there's Heineken beer product placement in this movie.
it cheapens the Bond franchise, IMO.

but i understand since MGM is cash strapped.

ps- anyone know a site that has all the Bond theme song videos?
youtube is awful since everyone puts 'Official' in their uploads :mad:

Product placement cheapens every movie. It's always so obvious, makes you feel like you're watching a commercial in the middle of your movie and takes you out of it. Hopefully the product placement is very minimal :X

nope. bond orders 2 heinekins at the bar. both bottles are prodominatingly displayed as the bartender puts it on the bar and bond grabs them w/his hands as if you just watched a 15sec commercial :(

Damn. It's been 4 years since the last 007?

I had a gf at the time to attend showing of last ones with me. I'll probably wait until this is released to video/streaming though... :(

Skyrim + Daggerfall = Skyfall. Obviously this is going to be a Bethesda RPG-based James Bond movie.

Hope Heineken paid well. It's getting way more than enough press before the movie's even out.

I don't have high hopes, his last Bond movie wasn't that good. Plus I never liked his version of Bond.

I'm excited for this movie. Daniel Craig is my favorite Bond so far. Most of it is probably the less cartoonish feel to the movies that they have now.

Advanced screeners/reviewers have all said this movie will be amazing, I can't wait.

Daniel Craig may be my favorite Bond. Eat your heart out Timothy Dalton.

There's a reason.

I hate how its blatent in TV now also, mainly cars ("we can search using the Sync system..."). Ugh, awful. I think a show made fun of this by having a character state how it sounded like a commercial...

Its bad enough I pay through my nose for cables, AND there are a ton of commercials, but now commercials during the show is getting ridiculous.

Anyway, back to Bond - totally want to see this movie.

Product placement has been in all the Bond movies (usually the cars Austin martin or BMW) but now it's getting stupid. The last bond movie basically started with a ford advert and had a couple of Sony laptop adverts in the middle on top of the usual Aston Martin advert. I don't mind the Aston Martin one, because it usually involves something exciting like a car chase... or it's just nice to look at an Aston Martin. But the Sony, Ford and now Heineken adverts are ruining the films for me. I do like the films overall it's just very annoying.

It's been a while since I've seen any Bond movies, but beyond the cars, I didn't think that the product placement was too obnoxious. That's just me, though.

Maybe it's me just being over sensitive to it... it just annoys me.
