Watched it friday night. Epically good. If you aren't a tard and can follow plots and know some of the history behind bond then its a really good bond movie. Even if you are a tard you can still enjoy it because its also a gun action movie in its own right. Opening sequence is pretty fucking good. Also, it runs on from Casino Royale very smoothly.

Did anyone notice how Mum got shot in the first scene but then was completely fine later? Or did my eyes trick me.

Reasonably sure she didn't actually get shot.
I enjoyed the movie overall. Would of made F-all sense without Casino Royale though.
Would have to say the action scenes were actually pretty average. Very messy, too much close-up, hard to follow at times.
Some of the characterisation was pretty silly and over the top too. Agent Fields looked like a hooker in that trenchcoat. Why did they dress her like a cheap hooker?? And then of course Bond fucked her.
Daniel Craig is defo the best Bond out though. Hard, cool, suave as fuck.

Weird, probably just me but a few of my mates saw it too.

For the movie - it was confusing at times since Bond mumbles, but other than that the action scenes were enjoyable.

Casino Royale was alot better I thought.

M didn't get shot. Bond pulled her down to prevent Mitchell from killing her.

Anyone else notice how Craig Mitchell's name is half Daniel Craig and half Sasuki Mitchell (his partner)? Or how Agent Fields's first name is Strawberry?

watched this last friday when we had a ppl free day
was pretty good, action scenes were plentiful unlike casino royale, only negative is that it couldve been more 'sexier'
otherall, QoS>Casino Royale imo

apparently marc forster is a shithouse action director and the action scenes in this are shithouse
you better believe it
so disappointed with this movie
the first few action sequences are incoherent
there's 5 cuts per second and the framing is woeful, you're never quite sure what is exactly happening or where

marc forster wins worst director of 08

Not as good as i expected. Actually, i didnt like.

Favourite bit of the movie was the scene with that massive touch-screen table-screen.

And that bit where something explodes and u see these 3 (or 4) glass panels shatter one by one in slo-mo.
