Well, I'm sure that we have all seen are fair share of James Bond movies at one time or another. I myself am not really a big fan of the franchise, as its movies are really either hit or miss for me (and I haven't ever read any of the novels), but I have found some of its movies to be really good, and even downright classic. Anyways, as you probably remember, we were treated to a new 007, a couple of years ago, played by Daniel Craig, in Casino Royale. I personally thought that the movie was pretty good, and it was the best James Bond movie that I had seen in quite a while. One thing that I liked about this one, is how its more emotional than more of its predecessors, with a bit more heart to its story line and characters, but at the same time, it has the 007 feel to it, and Daniel Craig also turns out to be a surprisingly bad-ass version of our favorite British agent .

So, even though its old news now, Quantum of Solace has been announced to be releasing this November, and a trailer for it also came out a while ago. I thought that the trailer looked pretty good, and overall, I'm pretty excited about this movie. I hope that it turns out to be at least as good as the previous movie, Casino Royale, and for those of you who have not yet seen the trailer, check it out, here.

Anyways, for those of you who actually give a sh!t about anything 007 related, what are your thoughts on this upcoming film?

I'll probably go see it when it comes out since I liked Casino Royale too. I guess it's an aquired taste because most of my friends didn't like Royale so much

Well, from what I've seen, people had some pretty mixed opinions about Casino Royale. I personally find it to be one of the best Bond movies out to date (although, I'll admit, I haven't seen all of the 007 movies, so there could be some other great ones that I'm missing out on).

Well, I've only seen Casino Royale. But, it was good.

The only Bond movie I've seen in its entirety was Casino Royal, which was pretty entertaining. Though, I'm personally not that big on spy/action movies, my dad has been following the Bond movies since the very beginning. He didn't exactly enjoy the last one for its emotional impact, but more for what the movies in general are known for - the action and the sex. I guess my dad can be a typical dude when he wants to be

Well, Bond movies might not be that appealing to you, but some of them are actually pretty classic. And the good thing is that, so far, they have all been stand-alone films, in a sense. Its sort of like an episodic TV series, where you can jump into any episode, not needing any knowledge from any of the previous ones. A lot of 007 movies have been pretty average in my book, but that's only because they pale in comparison to the cream of the crop in that franchise. I'd suggest at least trying to check out some of the much earlier ones, featuring James Bond's original actor, Sean Connery

I never really liked the fact that they change actors so frequently...

I find that most of the time, if it's based off one of the original books, the Bond Movie comes out good. There are exceptions (Like Goldeneye

), but that seems to be the trend so this should turn out good.
