The big trailer for new 007 film Casino Royale is out and I personally think it looks excellent. However I've been hearing a lot of flack about having a blonde Bond, about it going back to his beginnings etc etc. Just wondering peoples thoughts.

Hello there.

It can only be better than the last Brosnan movie.

I think it looks like a tremendous improvement. The Brosnan movies never struck me as quite serious or stylish enough.

I'll definitely go see this one, after having ignored every Brosnan movie after Goldeneye.

Apart from the last one, I kinda thought all the Brosnan films were a little too serious with the whole betrayal thing in Goldeneye, etc

Hello there.

Timothy Dalton > Pierce Brosnan
Sean Connery > Pierce Brosnan
Roger Moore > Pierce Brosnan

I haven't done a Bond-o-thon recently enough to compare the older Bonds to eachother. Brosnan may be a good actor etc. but he's not Bond enough IMO, I just can't get into those movies like I can a Roger Moore or Sean Connery Bond film. A Bond-o-thon sounds like a good idea though...

Trailer looks neat, but you can't really tell if a movie will be good from a trailer.

Actually, I think the guy who did the single movie about Bonds wife was the best of the lot. However, having only made the single movie its really hard to form an opinion.

My favorites are Moore and Connery. Only because they did so many, and all very well.

YOU'RE ALL FORGETTING GEORGE LAZENBY!

George climbed out from the stinking pit of daytime TV in General Hospital to play a great role as 007.

BTW, I'm gonna watch this new one the first day!

It looks excellent compared to the last ones. Truly looks like one of the classic good old ones. Nice to see them cutting back on all the fancy little special effects and crap.

WAIT A SECOND... if it's going back to his beginnings, why did I see a brand new Aston Martin in the trailer? wouldn't his beginnings be like... 1960's?

It isn't a prequel, it's a reboot, like Batman Begins. The other movies never happened ... and never will.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Like "Matrix Rebooted" or "Blade: Rebooted?"

The Bond movies have never really been continuous anyway. He'd be almost 80 today.

I hate it when they do that with sequels and stuff. Have a new one and pretend the other things never happened.

This reminds me a bit of HL2:Ep1. Obviously in those the previous stuff DID happen...but with the Episode 1 word it makes it seem like the other stuff never happened, and this is the first?

Episode 1 was a bad name choice (why not Aftermath?).

man, I still haven't played episode 1.... I gotta get that.

I think they chose clear communication over 'coolnes', when picking this name. Otherwise, it could potentially be confusing when trying to market and sell a product that is clearly supposed to be played in chronological order.

Yes, it is sort of generic and I guess they could have tacked on a thematic name as starwars did, 'Episode 1: Alyx Gets Nekkid', or something like that.

man, I still haven't played episode 1.... I gotta get that.

I'd wait for the Episode 1/2 bundle. Now that will be a package worth getting.

'Episode 1: Alyx Gets Nekkid', or something like that.

Hahahaha

It certainly doesn't seem to be predominantly special effects, which is good. Less flash, more substance.
