Just another opinion. I remember when Brosnan took the role over. People spoke and so did some of the actors who were involved in the production (a la Desmond Lewyllen (sp) who played "Q" for the folks at home) said that Brosnan is the closest to the way Sean Connery portrayed Bond. Ok here we go again with our new guy.

Everybody brought their own style to the role.

Connery got out because he didn't want to get type-cast.
Lazenby felt the heat from Connery fans and didn't want to do it again.
Moore felt like the role needed some comedy with advice from Spencer Tracy.
Dalton wanted it more serious. (I still remember the Charlie's Angel episode that had Dalton as the villian described of having James Bond type of style)
Brosnan - eh

The feeling I'm getting in my surroundings is that no one is interested. It has me worried, and the fact that this is James Bond's beginning to become a Double-O agent, should make Bond fans disheartened when they see Judi Dench reprising the role as "M"

I don't consider it a true Bond movie for one. Just like I don't count Connery's crappy remake of Thunderball titled Never Say Never Again. And the spoof itself was horrible. I laughed more watching Nothing But Trouble - a horrible movie. How the Broccoli's didn't have the rights to that title at the time is beyond me.

Trying to think what puts me to sleep first.
Casino Royale (1967)
Thunderball
From Russia with Love
or
On Her Majesty's Secret Service

forgot the name of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, she was hot!
Moonraker with Jaws in Space was cool

Good flick, saw it last night ... Daniel Craig does a fine job.

Good film. Craig brings his own style. No Connery's esque. No anyone else. It had a great start, but it dragged the last 30 minutes of the film. Great torture scene. It had all elements to it, including comedy. The movie introduced all Bond characters involved in the movie perfectly, and I mean perfectly including an old friend introduced. Keeping Judi Dench was fine with the way the film worked.

I wish I had never read the reviews. I believe the one I did read was from the USA Today Tuesday or Wed. It gave away too much. Especially 2 things that I waited for during that last antaganizing 30 minutes of the film.

My wife hates James Bond. I think she hates the Bondisms. Said she enjoyed the movie until the first Bondism came out, and that happened about 90 minutes into the film. I actually find that encouraging.
