      I think he's the worst Bond so far. (at least of the ones i've watched)

      this is the real james bond

      AGREED! I know some of the earlier Bonds were great... but Brosnan is still my favorite by far. He was such a well rounded bond. He had the refinement, he was witty, charismatic, did some of the best most emotional Bond acting (ie- when he assassinated Electra King) And man, could he wear a suit! :o

      I was pretty bummed when I heard the Bond series was being put on hold because of MGMs financial troubles... But they plan on beginning filming on 23 next year so that makes me happy again.

      I will be a bit disappointed if Daniel Craig will no longer play James Bond, because, while he is not my favourite, Quantum Of Solace was my favourite Bond film.

      Personally, I am not a fan of the James Bond films, because I think it's rather pathetic that the whole franchise pretty much revolves around generic villains, sex, shooting, gadgets, and even more sex. That is why I enjoyed Quantum Of Solace, because it was a far cry to what people knew about James Bond. It was no longer about sex and gadgets, it had an emotional plot that was about revenge.

      By the way, just to comment on the who's-the-real-Bond debate, I think it's rather stupid. All the people are actors, and each of them added a different element to the Bond franchise. I can say that they're all great actors and they all suck at the same time, because the whole debate is opinion based.
      Personally, I prefer Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan to all the others. But I really do not care what actor plays Bond, because I'm not a fan of the series.

      I agree with what you're saying, but I'd have to add the caveat that Casino Royale followed the same formula and was infinitely better than QoS. No action movie should ever gravitate around saving a third world country's water supply. While that may be an important realistic issue, it doesn't make for a thrilling cinematic experience.

      Hmm...perhaps you have a point. It's been a long time, I need to watch Casino Royal again. I think when it was released it was a bit of a shock to see something so radically different. But thinking back on it, I actually enjoyed Casino Royal a lot, even more than any other Bond film.
      I definitely need to watch it again.

      Ahh man. I loved the gadgets! James Bond just isn't Bond without the gadgets. I was totally devo when Desmond Llewelyn died :( . He was the best Q and one of my absolute favorite characters in the series.

      And I will admit I enjoyed Casino Royale... but its BIG letdown was the total lack of a decent car chase scene. This is one thing that QoS definitely fixed.
