I can freely admit that it is my favourite James Bond movie to date. They nailed it so well when they referred to him as a "Blunt Instrument" in the movie, he doesn't go around something, he goes through it, property damage be damned, he has a job to do. I can say I greatly enjoyed the grittier, more down to Earth and noticably more brutal tone they took with the movie.

No Bond outrunning the giant space laser in the rocket car until it cuts off a chunk of the glacier he is on forcing him to outsurf the ice choked tidal wave on a piece of metal and a parachute here.

Also, next time I see someone cutting the seat out of a chair I am chewing off my own arms and throwing myself out the nearest window. Screw a window, I will throw myself through the damn WALL if need be.

That was physically painful to watch

Naimah had this to say about Optimus Prime:
There was no car chase. This can not be forgiven.

It was short but I feel it was worth it considering how it ended. That was cool.

It was great. The whole fucking movie was great. Five manbabies.

I agree. Even without a Q this movie beat the shit out of the last few Bond movies.

EDIT: The only problem I had is that they didn't do the classic James Bond music sting once in the whole movie. I guess there wasn't really any appropriate spot for it.

They did finally play the theme at the end, which is close enough, I suppose.

.... my desire to see this movie has fallen. It would have to be a badass film in other respects to make up for the lack of Q. He had some of the best lines in the Bond series.

He actually out-lived the Bond franchise, up until this revival.

Greenlit wrote this then went back to looking for porn:
You do know he died seven years ago, right?

John Cleese was Q in Die Another Day. I meant the lack of a Q character in general.

See, Artt knows.

Desmond Llewelyn will always be Q to a lot of people, but I hope they don't plan on 'retiring' the character completely...

I just got back from the movie and I couldn't watch that... and I'm female!

That scar-faced bomber at the beginning was a freaking monkey, no racial slurs ment. He was jumping around like he didn't give a crap about the laws of gravity.

I concur, that man was INSANE.

Azymyth's account was hax0red to write:
I liked it a lot. The beginning chase scene was a bit borderline Jackie Chan-ish but that's alright. I just wish the last part of the movie hadn't been in Venice. Dear god, it felt like my bladder was going to explode.

I havent seen the movie yet but the opening scene was performed by a realy famous freerunner so i doubt they used special effects or anything. Watch jump london to see some completly insane freerunning, tis one if my favourite disciplines and the one ive been devoting the most time to recently

I agree so hard, and yet..."I've got an itch, can you scratch it...little more to the right..." is, well, damn.

That said - the chase scene near the beginning was AMAZING. I loved when he threw the gun at Bond, who caught it, then beaned him in the head

Also? Everything else about the movie.

But what I don't get is who sent that text message near the end that told Bond about White?

It was my understanding that Vesper left it (on her phone, wasn't it?) before she went to steal the bling. Near the end, Bond or M said that they knew Vesper would know that Bond would check the phone eventually, leading him to White.

*Ring* *Ring*

"Hello?"

"Mr. White?"

"Yes. Who is this?"

*BAM*

I guess Vesper's the only one who would really know both that James had the phone and that White was the big baddie, but I think the line you're talking about was referring to the fact that she left her phone behind in the hotel room with the message "meet me by the bank" or whatever.
