    The only Bond film i like is Casino Royale, i went to see it for the second time today and i still love it, i went to see it for the first time last friday and was really pleased with it. As i've never seen any of the others and not liking them i was a little surprised i liked this one, but it looked so good in the trailer. And plus i think the reason i don't like the other bond films is mainly because of the actors who play him, i'm just not a fan of any of them except for Daniel Craig, he's gorgeous and he has the most amazing blues eyes. I'm so pleased that there's going to be another bond film with Daniel Craig, in my opinion he's the best one, i know there will be some people who will disagree with me there, but he pulled it off.

    I totally agree with you that Daniel Craig was able to pull it off. Also, you maybe be happy that he's set to star in two more Bond films but he can always do more :).

    I can't wait to see them, i'm glad he's going to be staring in two more. Look forward to them both.

    I'm not a big Bond fan, but I did see Casino Royale and thought it was very good. They are already set to start filming the next one, call Bond 22, with the setting taking place right after Casino Royale

    Well, I finally purchased the novel version of Casino Royale just a couple of days ago. Despite the big different from the one on the big screen(I'm only on page 38) it's quite a good read. Ian Fleming is a very good authour. I'm just trying to restrict myself from reading the whole thing in one day :lol:.

    Hey, does anybody know when the film version will arrive on DVD. I'm dying to see it again & again & again.

    I believe it's to be released in April 2007. The next Bondmovie will be based on Fleimg's story "Risico" from the novel "For Your Eyes Only".

    I think Thunderball is a good movie too, but the underwater scenes at the end were to long IMO.

    ^^ I agree, Denise Richards was by far the worst Bond girl to date. I figure they only brought her in because she was so famous. Seriously, the actress who played Elektra had 100x more chemistry with Pierce then Denise. I didn't like what happened to Elektra despite what she did :(.

    Ooh I cannot wait till April 2007. That's like, 4 months away right? I am *so* planning to buy it the day it's released :D.

    I agree, the underwater scenes in Thunderball were *way* to long. It didn't really flow too well with the rest of the film & also, they could've cut the scenes to make the film shorter. Despite those scenes it was one of the best Bond films.

    Recently I purchased the novel versions of Goldfinger & From Russia With Love. The differene between the novels & films just amaze me. Like, in Goldfinger Pussy Galore was of a different orientation yet Bond managed to turn her straight in the end. I found that odd but then again Bond is the man :lol:.

    Oh, and I plan to purchase the James Bond Ultimate Edition: Vol. 3 on DVD tomorrow. It contains Goldeney, Live and Let Die, For Your Eyes Only, From Russia With Love & On Her Majesty's Secret Service. One of the special features on For Your Eyes Only they show Bond in Greece & I can't wait to see footage of my ancestors country :D.

    Favourite Theme Song?

    'You Know My Name' has really grown on me although at first I was wary of it.

    'A View To A Kill','Live And Let Die', 'All Time High' and 'The Living Daylights' are also faves.

    'Die Another Day' - seriously????!!

    Yeah, 'Die Another Day' must be the worst theme.
    I love:
    A View to a Kill
    You Know My Name
    Goldfinger
    Diamonds Are Forever
    Live and Let Die
    GoldenEye

    I love most of them, but those have to be my favourites.

    I agree. I mean, I love Madonna but that song she sang was awful. It's not even really suited for a Bond film. My favourites are...

    You Know My Name
    Goldfinger
    Diamonds Are Forever
    Live and Let Die

    Speaking of "You Know My Name", I saw Casino Royale for the second time yesterday & I must say I loved it. It gets better everytime & Daniel Craig gets sexier everytime too :devil:.

    Yeah I've seen 'Casino Royale' twice too. It does get even better the more times you see it!!!
