All of the action in the film wasn't big as I thought it would be. There should have been more as well. I don't mean more fighting.

I prefer films like "The man from Earth" to be honest.... but bond is usually entertaining enough

I have heard a few snippetts of footage on our local radio station and it sounds great. I am a big bond fan myself and think Daniel craigs character really adds an edge.

Right up there with Connery IMHO

The Dark Knight looks very good, the trailers have been out for a while, I must say I will be going to see it, without doubt!

I went to see 'I am legend' in Imax and saw the trailer for Batman - The Dark Knight' there. I must say if there's an Imax cinema near you and the film is being shown in Imax I would really recommend it. It's like you are actually in the film!!

I watched Die Another Day over the weekend for the first time since watching Casino Royale. How dissapointing is Die Another Day when you look back? Its full of some great action sequences, but not enough gritty dialogue, the storyline is dross and the cheesy lines every five minutes are jaw crunching! I almost can't believe how far the two films are apart!

believe it or not, some diehard bond fans are disappointed in CR as it isn't cheesy enough for them - they reckon thats part of the draw!!

Well as far as I am concerned, they aren't die hard bond fans, they are misinformed. One or two cheesy lines per movie, max! Watching Die Another Day the other night was just ludicrous, if I wasn't watching it with somebody else at the time that hadn't seen it before it would have been ejected.

The guy I feel most sorry for is Pierce, I think he was the best since Sean but got sold out on some awful scripts and budget directing by Lee Tamahori and co.

YUP - according to his deceased wife, he was born to be Bond and she was right god bless her.

Im not a bond fan for the same reason I am not a Rocky fan. You can predict the out come before you have watched the movie.
