Saw it yesterday. Halle berry looked like a cardboard cutout and downright sucked. Rosemund pike(sp?) was wayyyyyyyyy much hotter and was probably the best bond girl ever. Also there were not many one liners in the movie as some say. Goldeneye is still the best. The tank scene and Famke jensen(sp?) make it the best bond movie yet.

heh yea the cg in the title sequence was pretty good:) slow closeups show they aren't worried u'll see how fake their fx are:)

only gripe was madonna, i just don't like her. then she shows up for her cameo .. not as bad as i thought it would be, but still rubbed me wrong.

Sums it up perfectly.

good practice for his villian role i guess;)


agent frost ownz halle berry.

Agreed about frost. But I loved those cars, and nearly cried when they <tear> threw them out of the plane </tear>. I did like the dog fight with the cars, and I thought it was cheesy to give Madonna a cameo as the fencing instructor. I will see it again (hopefully next weekend [4 days off from school, woot]). About the too loud comment, in the theatre I went to, I thought that the volume was too low, so I guess it depends where you go.

i enjoyed. first bond flick i've seen in theatres. the theatre i went to had the volume way loud. it became annoying quickly. the plot was good, but there were too many twists IMO.

I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Much better than the last one!

I loved the car fight between Bond's Vanquish and the loaded Jag. I cried when those other gorgeous cars fell out of the plane though :(


And yeah...Agent Frost was hot, Halle Barry is not. She didn't look that bad in this show, but that's just cause she kept her shirt on with push up bras probably. Her boobies were sad in Swordfish.

Agent Frost owns me and owns halle barry.

I just got back from it, here's what I thought:

Pros: Good plot, good fighting scenes.

Cons: SORRY ASS graphics in teh Iceland area, that was freakin HOMO. I was like, OMG I COULD EDIT BETTER IN PHOTOCHOP. :|

All in all, a pretty good Bond movie. For some reason, I've been disappointed with the past Bond movie but this one has gotten a lot better. :)

Yeah, I was like WTF during the iceland surfing scene. The CGI was piss poor...must have been last minute processing. And did anyone notice the film stutter and jerk when the little ice-rocket thing that Bond was riding in went over the side of the iceberg and then slammed into the ice while being held by it's anchor? I was like damn, that is some crappy shiznit! :D

Otherwise, good movie :D

I saw it Friday night at 7:00 and thought it was quite good but unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the full effect. Allow me to explain.

My g/f bought tickets at 2:30 without a hitch. We got to the theater at 6:30 for the 7:00 show (I live right across the street so it wasn't far), skipped the ticket line and my g/f got popcorn. We then proceeded to the theater where there were a whole bunch of bags of popcorn and cups of pop at the entrance (obviously not for me). When we got in at the top, there was a girl standing next to a whole bunch of clear tape blocking off the best seats in the entire place. She proceeded to tell us that those seats were reserved and we had to find different ones. Looking around, the only place we found that we could sit was in the SECOND ROW! One minute before the show started, the Purdue football team waltzed in and took the seats at the top. I couldn't believe it. There was never any mention when the tickets were purchased about reserved seats and the fact that no matter how soon we got there, we wouldn't be able to get good seats. This theater can't focus a picture if they had to, so I had to deal with Brosnan's face stretched by fuzz about six inches in each direction. The theater also decided that if you're sitting in the front seats, you're probably also deaf, but just in case you weren't yet, you would be when you left. There was an extreme amount of distortion throughout the dialogue (from the speakers being driven too hard) and a couple of the jets just about made my ears bleed. Then, during the best scene of the movie (the car chase), somebody called my cell (I turned off the ringer so it was just on vibrate and i didn't answer it), then they called again, then another person called. So I was looking at my phone throughout most of that (granted, it's my own fault).

Anyway, was my personal viewing experience worth $8.25? No, it wasn't worth $0.25. Will I see it again? Absolutely, I don't know what happened throughout because I could only see about an eighth of the screen at any given time. I think I'll watch it over Thanksgiving break where I don't have to worry about football players. From the parts I saw, I would definitely say it was very good except for the current trend in filmmaking which involves slowing everything down for a couple of seconds and then flying through the next couple of seconds to catch up. I hate it when they do that. Thanks for listening. :)

edit: I forgot to mention that I flinched when Bond blew up the 911 and sobbed when the Lamborghini and the Ferrari were shoved out of the plane.

just came back from seeing it. A good picture overall, but I find that increasingly Bond flicks are just going through the motions. I can't really blame the writers though, it's tough to come up with completely new and fresh ideas after 20 installments.

quote by jellomancer: "she is disgusting, she is the epitome of plain, with some ugly thrown in; whatever happenedto the days when actresses were hot?; for every halle berry there is a... anonymous ugly woman; bond can do so much better than some ugly evil chick"

Their North Korean dialects could be better. I got kinda annoyed when the villains spoke Korean. And I was very doubtful that an old North Korean general could speak English that well.

The guy who played the N. Korean general is Kenneth Tsang (or 'Tsang Kwong', his Chinese name.) He's a well experienced Hong Kong TV series/movie actor. He was also in a few Hollywood movies (Replacement Killer?) Kinda strange to find a Chinese actor to play the N. Korean army general. Would have been more authentic if they had a Korean actor to play that role.

I would say the hottest 'chick' in the entire movie is the Aston Martin ;)

Edit: thanks for the typo correction ;)
