I think it's only appropriate to build anticipation for the new film.

Well, it's being praised. Big UK opening.

Who's going to see this in theatres? Craig has signed on for the 24th and 25th films.

Re: Bond, James Bond: Thread of 007 Action

I'mma def see it, yo.

Re: Bond, James Bond: Thread of 007 Action

Bond seems to have taken a turn for Jason Bourne style movie action now. Close shots with lots of close cuts. Spies just down kill people, they are suposed to be sneaky too.

Probably 7 smiles out of 5

I was so impressed with this film.

Which is fairly impressive based on my high expectations for it!

Re: Bond, James Bond: Thread of 007 Action

It is a pretty good Bond movie. I wouldn't declare it "best Bond ever" just because I think you need to sit on a movie (or game or book or whatever) before you can really objectively compare to other things.

I will say I definitely enjoyed it more than Quantum of Solace, and I didn't hate Quantum of Solace. Its definitely got more legit Bond moments than the previous two have while still being distinctive. It also does really well at setting up something closer to the "status quo" of the pre-Craig Bonds. It even makes sense, if you want to think about it, how Craig's Bond could now go to something closer to what Connery and Co. portrayed over the years.

I could go into it a little more, but I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
