I saw it las thursday and even though is an entertaining film, I didn't like it more than Casino Royale, this is a lot more acrobatic Bond than a full of gadgets and technology one. Nothing to say about the watch, he just wore it. Lame.

you won't get bored in the movie though.

A guy at work saw it a week or 2 ago and said he wasn't impressed... nowhere near as good as Casino Royale was his verdict... and the reviewers here, they say it's trying to be too much like Ludlum's Bourne.

I'll still go see it, probably tonight :tu:

I was hoping to see it at iMax, but couldn't find it on their listings... I saw Batman there (the 2nd time) and it was good on that screen. They still have Batman on for anyone in London.

I saw it last night.

Decent Bond movie... but not as good as the last one. Felt me wanting more... they kept alluding to an organisation but even when the bad guy gives it up they don't reveal who... I kept thinking this was just half the movie... next one will probably expand on it. I'm guessing SMERSH or SPECTRE [or Cobra ;)] or whoever it was in the old movies.

It just felt unfinished in the way Pirates of the Caribbean did... otherwise it was a decent enough chase movie.

with all this sean connery talk, i thought i'd post a picture that i took a couple of years ago. this was at his annual party here in the bahamas. i have blown up his watch ... looks like a panerai 190. enjoy!

Very cool pic. I not in a rush to see QOS but I'm sure I'll see it sometime over the next couple of weeks. I may fire up Casino Royale on Blu-Ray tonight and watch it again.

Watched it tonight. I liked the action, was fun in that aspect but I think the plot could have been better. Still a pretty good film overall, but I'm more of a fan of the older Bond movies, Connery being my favourite Bond.

There was quite a lot of watches flashed on there. Apart from the obvious PO, I did happen to notice that Greene's henchman was wearing what looks very similar to a Rado Sintra in black ceramic :) An unusual watch choice for a Bond movie I think, but made me happy nevertheless being a Rado fan.

Saw it this morning ... first showing of course ... :D

Would agree with those who thought it good, but not a good as Casino Royale. Definitely heading down the 'Bourne' path, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Stunt work was great ... plot a little thin though. The interactions with the Bond girls seemed to have been either added as an afterthought, or essential parts ended up on the cutting room floor.

And that poor Aston Martin .... :cry:

Anyone catch what Felix Leiter was wearing? Was it a Hamilton X-Wind?

I was wondering what it was as well.

M was wearing what looked like a Muller Conquistador or Master Square of some form...

I thought it was a decent movie. It's more of a moody flick, showing the more complex side of Bond. The stuff with the Bond woman was all about him being bitter from being betrayed by Vesper in Casino Royale given the movie as a sequel is supposed to continue 20 minutes from where Casino Royale ends...so not wanting a "relationship"...but a quickie on the other hand...who wouldn't? ;)

I read an article today about how Roger Moore is dissapointed with the modern Bond movies. He complains of too much violence and how that has not been a part of the traditional Bond image. Poor old Roger, 81 years old, doesnt understand that times change.

Roger Moore was the worst Bond ever. I still can't believe they wasted so much of my time with him as Bond. He was the Bond du jour during my prime time for watching Bond films and I couldn't WAIT for him to be replaced.
