I can't wait to see the next one. Casino Royale was about 5x better than the previous few put together.

It's actually titled "Quantum of Solace". As for spacey, the word quantum refers to a specific amount of something, and the word solace refers to comfort... so effectively it means a certain amount of comfort. I think it's intended to be about his recovering from the death of the girl in Casino Royale.

Well, it's no Octopussy but I guess it'll do.

I went with my brother and my dad to see it (all long time Bond fans) and we all walked out saying "THAT IS HOW BOND SHOULD BE DONE!".

Exactly the opposite for me

I didn't want to BE Bond at the end. He's supposed to be a male fantasy

Gadgets, Q, pointless double enterdres, and for god's sake the theme music when something cool happens, they all need to be back.

Courtesy of IGN:

"But why that title? Well, it comes from a short story by Bond author Ian Fleming that appeared in the 'For Your Eyes Only' collection of short stories about the English secret agent.

It revolves around a boring dinner party attended by 007 where he strikes up conversation with the elderly governor of the Bahamas. He tells Bond a story about a tragic relationship between a former civil servant and an air hostess that ends in bitter divorce. Apparently the story gets Bond thinking about his own life - and makes him realise his own adventures often do not compare to the real drama of everyday human life.

As well as the title, we also heard some more about the plot. Apparently it will pick up from when Casino Royale left off, and begin with Bond and M interrogating suspects who reveal the shadowy organization who blackmailed Vesper.

An MI6 traitor leads Bond to Haiti, where he meets Bond girls Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko, who introduce him to ruthless business man, and the villain of the piece, Maurice Green (played by The Diving Bell And The Butterfly star Mathieu Amalric.)

Bond's mission takes him across Austria, Italy and into South America, where he uncovers Green's plan's to take control of one of the world's major natural resources.

But how does the titular short story go with the plot? We're not sure, but it does seem to indicate the screenwriters have continued where Casino Royal left off in introducing more character-driven and grown-up elements to the series.

But we still don't think the film will become an introspective art movie, as producer Andrew Wilson also told us: "It will have much more action compared to the last film, probably twice as much."

We also heard that Bond girl Gemma Arterton will "get to kiss bond", that Vesper "will certainly be on Bond's mind" - but Eve Green won't appear in flashbacks - and that the film will continue to explore the relationship between 007 and M, played by Dame Judi Dench, and include some typically fractious banter between the two."

+1. Although I have grown into this new Bond, and I dont mind Casino Royale as much anymore, I enjoy watching it.

[Guinness7]

I am sure the new Bond won't disapoint on the blu-ray side of thing and I will look for a good release when it is ready to come out.

The movies hit a point where they weren't really satisfying old or new Bond fans.
The gadgets were the thing that made the previous few before Casino Royale so ridiculous. They were so overplayed that it almost wasn't about Bond being physically strong anymore.

I loved Casino Royale because there were very few gadgets in the movie, yet all of them served an important purpose.

Check out the second post here for some nice pics of the new Bond Girl

[davidPS3]

In my opinion that the last movie did what it was suppose to do, reboot the seriers and that it did!

It was intended to start over at the beginning so you have to have the time to introduce "gadget's" and "Q" down the road. Slowly rebuild is where I think they are at in their thinking.

I for one am looking forward to the next one.

Let me show you where I stand

Worst Bond- Roger Moore, followed by Connery (Lazenby doesn't count)

Best Bond, Dalton, followed by Brosnan(who took Connery's good parts, and mixed in a bunch of Dalton's)

Note we're not talking quality of scripts, we're talking quality of the performance as the character of Bond.

Bond is supposed to be ludicrous, fantasy material. To make anything else is betraying the concept. If I wanted to watch Bourne, I'd go watch Bourne.

[savage1984]

I can't wait. The last Bond was so well written and well acted... unlike the last few brosnan bond films, I really am looking forward to this one. I really like the fact that it picks up right after the last one left off. It makes it more episodic and awesome like this

I read somewhere a while back that they were influenced by Bourne when they made Casino.

BTW, I, too, always liked Dalton's Bond and those two Bond films. And I certainly agree with you on Moore.
