    The 007 trailer, aside from The Watchmen, is the only trailer that sends a chill up my spine every time I watch it. It happens right after the action builds up and the music drops out and you see the 007 fit into the title...gets me every time.

    I really like the videos, however I felt that in the first one, the line "Don't treat me like I'm...stupid" sounded terrible. Hopefully that'll sound differently in theaters.

    Daniel Craig is gangsta-no word of a lie...but Bond? WTF!? Why are people so willing to accept him as Bond? Especially a BLOND BOND?!?!?!?! At least they should of made dude dye his hair. Let him get down and gritty and come w/a spy or gangster franchise around him like Layer Cake-but from the moment they selected him to replace Pierce????!!!!! That made and still makes no bloody sense at all! So yeah, the new Bong girl ain't Halle or the fyne ass chick from Octopussy but she's still hot-but c'mon....we really have to sit through watching this dude painfully try to play a role he was never made for?....C'MON!!!! Have some Pepsi Max & "WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!" You'll quicker fit a square block in a star-shaped hole. Casino Royale was one of the most boring Bond movies ever and I'm sure w/DC as Bond still, this one will lag too.

    Big Word have you ever read the original Novels. In the early books Bond was nothing like the film versions after Sean Connery left the series. He was a gritty every man who was not a pretty boy but hard and cynical due to the life he had led to that point. Craig has that look and demeanor which in my opnion gives him more plausability than actors like Brosnan.

    On another note my one tech nerd complaint is why is Bond using a surpressed H&K MP5 when there are much better weapon systems on the market? Even the H&K G36 is a better weapon for what he is using the MP5 for.

    There were James Bond books? Man, I've got to read those. I have seen every bond movie, including the old ones. I'm possibly going to see this one. Maybe Casino Royale was boring because it had too many special effects and not enough story or interaction between characters.
