Not sure if it really sounded like that Adam...they always overdub to make it sound better..Good though.

Octo not the best as Adam said but can not help watching any bond file...except that new chap....just can not warm to him with all his muscle...Just not James Bond in my eyes.

Oh dear, I fear I'm in a small minority here as I think Craig is the best of the bunch and, along with the grittier style and direction of the new films, is exactly right for the 21st Century. Puts Bond up alongside Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer and Frank Martin (Jason Statham) from the Transporter films, etc. I'm glad to be rid of the old ooh-er missus slap-schtick Bonds.

Right, I'll get me coat.. :)

...I think perhaps as Connery did if for soooooo long...plus the times in which his films were made....they represented something else.......now there are 3/4/5/6 similar types of cool, killers on the block.....back in the 60s/70s....there was only one Bond.......:)

Exactly right Frank i feel it really all depends on what era your from, and at what age you saw it for the first time, Not surprising Myles and Adam have a different view they are from a different generation spose WE old farts are too predictable

Haha, that's very kind of you to put me in the same age category as Adam Loz, but I'm 47! I grew up watching Connery (who I rate highly) and Moore (who I don't). Connery was undoubtedly great in his day and suited the style of film making perfectly so I have fond memories, but in spite of that I do think Craig has re-vitalized the franchise. Just my opinion though. :)

Sorry Miles didn't exactly put you in the SAME catergory as Adam but rather as an alternative to mine and Frank, never suspected you were Late 40's either more the 30 somethings , but it is quite obvious your not welded to the 70's and 80's unlike me or Frank and even Urby , tho i suspect Urby is from the Victorian era


You notice Miles how Urby has been online best part of this morning and not bitten once oh well

But for me...and I know we are all different...thats Bond.....and I don't see Bond as a 21st century type of chap to be honest....
