    I've read reviews that said it was more Jason Bourne than James Bond. What'cha think?

    Daniel Craig and this direction with the Bond movies was the best thing that they could've done...I love it!

    and the DBS he drove was pretty sweet, it also get's a thumbs up from me!

    it may be missing some traditional Bond elements, as did Casino Royale, but these two Bond films are very will done.

    Quantum was great, love the pace and attitude of the movie.

    I liked it

    The action scenes seemed chopped up. I found myself concentrating harder on the screen to better see what was going on. This is really the only Bourne type moment I had during the movie. Craig is just a badass......

    Just got back from seeing this and think it is a great action flick..I do see what the reviewers were talking about though..the old Bond couldn't be bothered with all this running and jumping around bullshit..he'd rather drink a martini and bang some chicks..And didn't he used to have cool gadgets and shit? Anyway, very entertaining..

    The removal of all the gadgets is excellent.

    I just bought Casino Royale on Blu-ray. Hadn't seen it for a while and was once again amazed how good that Bond movie was.
    Can't wait to see the new one!

    I saw it on friday night. I thought it was good, but a little corny in some places. It is still a good flick though....

    I agree, but it still doesn't feel like a Bond flick..for what it is, I much prefer Jason Bourne....I just think Bond is too cool for all this nonsense..he'd do and fight as little as possible..

    Great movie, I agree though that Casino Royale's story was a little better but both are great. I like the direction these two have gone compared to the other Bond movies, especially the one with Brosnan, where he is driving around the ice hotel or whatever it was. They were getting a lil too fake for me.

    I thought Casino Royale was better in every respect. Much better story, much more aesthetically pleasing action/chase scenes.

    I found this Bond to be very disappointing. I thought there was so much more that could have been done with the plot, and I just thought it pulled too much on the last one and didn't really develop a very compelling story on its own.

    Craig is signed for 2 more films and trust me the gadgets will return. I do like the direction of the last Bond film. I must try my best to see it tomorrow.
