Glad you brought the subject up.
I haven't and will not ever in my life watch a James Bond film - I HATE JAMES BOND.
I don't like smug 'humour',crap chat up lines and women with fake tans,false breasts and shaved...wahtever.
I don't like martinis or flash cars or anything glamourising the 'secret service'.
I think its total bollocks and I can't understand why anyone likes it.
Its bullshit hype.
On Her Majesty's Secret Bollocks more like!
Thank You.
Whatever.

Quite a synopsis considering you have never seen one of the Bond films. I haven't and will not ever in my life watch a James Bond film - I HATE JAMES BOND.

A very successful film franchise for over 45 years, it seems many people disagree with you. Each to their own.

OK - so I said that wrong.
I've seen Dr.No,Goldfinger,Live and let Die and Man with the Golden Gun.
I saw them all when I was a kid and I remember being disappointed with them after all the hype surrounding them.
A very successful film franchise does not mean a very good film.
I don't care if people agree with me or not. :o)

Yes well,I've just got a bit sick of it all.
There's even a Heineken advert for a competition for The James Bond experience in Jamaica.
And its mostly crap beer as well.
Diamonds,tuxedos,fast cars,champagne,luxury mansions,martinis,glamourous looking women,sophisticated this and that,huge explosions,villians with strange accents,secret devices to do horrible things to people....
Am I meant to be impressed ?
FFS !!!!
OK Sorry - I'll shut up about it now. :o)

)I concur...though I did like the cars in which Sean Connery performed...((no Roger Moore or other fakes for me!))
A lot of the gripes mentioned for Bond are actually missing in the "re-imaged" Daniel Craig version.
Personally, I love "Danger Man" with Patrick McGoohan .....

I've seen it.
Probably not the best movie, but I do enjoy punches, explosions, very expensive cars exploding into pieces, and Bolivians (NOT).
Hey, but James Bond also speaks spanish...quite great (if you're hanging out in the 3rd World, and fighting dangerous gangsters--or similar).
I would say this movie is worth the download.
