James Bond is escapism. It's not a Telenovela where you go "aaaaaawww, he just wants to live a happy life!" 

 

Yes, and the honeymoon scenes of Bond quitting in Casino Royale were the worst part. He should have learned his lesson!

Casino Royale really is a mixed bag ... sure the action is A1, Eva Green is lovely and there are thankfully still splashes of humour. But there are pacing problems and where Bond's sometime petulance and hot-headedness would've made sense with the twentysomething Cavill, they seem kinda weird with the late-thirties Craig.

She is not lovely, nor can she act her way out of a soaking wet paper bag.

Justin, you're looking at this both out of context, and chronology.

This is the problem with reboots: they mess with the established time line.

Oh come on, those tits! Those tits!

 

She looks like she'd give great head too.

The picture you posted was a good riposte to what Richard said, but this works pretty well too :lol: .

Looking through my poster book of all the Bond films up to Casino Royale, it's difficult to see in today's aesthetic of modern, sleek, cropped graphic design, how the poster could look any different. I think this latest poster says all you need to know about the film - it's Bond, surprise surprise - I can imagine these posters appearing on bus stops, station walls etc. The perception of Bond has shifted from the glamorous lifestyle enjoyed by the earlier incarnations to this gritty, modern aesthetic and the marketing choices simply reflect that.

Don't be idiots. Licence to Kill is awesome. 

The film is, but the poster campaign was not.

License to Kill had some strange posters. Some of them looked like Photoshop before Photoshop was invented.

Agreed. If they'd gone with the Bob Peak artwork, it would have been much better represented - and we would have had two Peak posters, for the Summer of '89 :)

The poster is the exact opposite of gritty. It's overpolished, minimalistic, vapid shite.

Have you seen something that you haven't seen in a Bond movie before?

 

I wish you were joking, but you also said MacGyver was a bad TV show, so... 

 

OH NO A 60 YEAR OLD FRANCHISE HAS ESTABLISHED BELOVED TRADEMARKS!! 

 

But it looks exactly as drab and pretentious as the previous flicks, yeah.

Looks like another film built around action set pieces; instead of the action being determined by the story and script.

The Only good Bond films are ones that aren't wall to wall action but have a back story: like GOLDENEYE and SKYFALL.
