I don't like it. It doesn't even sound like James Bond. If they were going to completely change the character, why not just give him a different name?

One one hand, they needed to do something to spruce up that franchise. On the other, the 're-invention' is usually one of the last steps towards total oblivion.

I'm looking forward to it. But nothing matters until opening night.

People freaked out when Pierce Brosnan took over, but I thought he came through in fine form. I think Craig is going to be an excellent Bond. I had issues with the bond girl at first, she is growing on me.

Who knows. Maybe this is the beginning of the end....maybe it'll be a return to form after all this Pierce Brosnan garbage. Nothing against Pierce Brosnan, I'm sure he could have made a fine Bond if he'd been given the chance.

They did the same thing with the Batman franchise. Worked out okay there. I'm optimistic. I've boycotted the last two Bond flicks, so I'm primed for this one. But cutting down on the ridiculous gadgets/villains is a good start.

Well except that Brosnan's a total weanie, yeah. My problem isn't with the actor, it's with the new bond. No gadgets, etc. It's like they've just invented a new character.
