Went to see it last night too :D
UGC Dundee had a few Astons and BMWs out the front to try and make it look a bit special :P
Great film though, very different for a Bond flick. I think the whole thing is pretty believable for a change, certainly no invisible Astons this time!

Great film but was dissapointed with the Aston footage :cry: I wont spoil the plot for those who have not seen it but you barely see the DBS in action before you know what.................

Otherwise 9/10

Sean is still the quintissential (sp?)Bond though

Does anyone else reckon that stretch of road with the DBs action looks strangely familiar to that section at Millbrook?! :wink:

If you havent been, look out for when you go, see what you think...

Great film but it was product plugged to death.

Focussed on: Ford, Aston, all electronic devices were Sony, everyone from Bond to the card dealer were wearing Omegas (no bad thing ;) ) and there was even a pisstake out of Rolex.

All chicks were super hot :D
I like how Bond made mistakes and it was very action packed.

I dont think i enjoyed it as much as i hoped i would.....
Wont spoil it for those who havent seen it but i reckon there was several iomportant things missing.
IMHO, I think i also preferred PB to DC. :roll:

I like PB but thought DC seemed more "human".

DBS doesn't exist Deano, so you'll be waiting a while :P As for the omega references, bl00ming cheesy. Sony placement was annoying but doubtless necessary - the Ford placement annoyed me more!

When I came out, it made me think that the last few bond films were utter w@nk in comparison. I wonder if as a result, PB will be condemned to be associated with a sludgy era in Bond history?

Only bit that annoyed me was the defribulator in the glovebox - just as well he ticked that option in the list rather than say, dialasis.

I wasn't all that impressed TBH, it didn't flow very well as if they had a list of Bond cliches to include and must get them all in at any cost. The action sequences were good but I felt that it got too bogged down with plot and tried to develop the charachters too hard. Just get on with it!

Was a distinctly average Bond IMHO. But Daniel Craig is a worthy replacement Bond though, and with a decent script he will do the role justice.

PS: the cars that weren't fords were all Kias, cheapscate b'stards.

It broke down when he tried to use it anyway, should have been a TVR...

Saw it on Sunday and thought it was great. Daniel Craig was excellent (as always) and I thought it was much more of a believable action film than far-fetched special effects nonsense, which we've seen in some of the more recent bond films.

I think you have issues...!
