As it's half term, why wouldn't you get tickets for the opening night?

Looking forward to it, with no expectations of a decent plot or great acting, just...Bond.

Yup - it's gotta be worth a watch as a mindless bit of fun.

Agreed.

There are no submarines in this film.

Apart from that, it's pretty much got every Bond cliché you can imagine.

It is absolutely packed with action and exotic locations and a splendid super-baddie.

If you want Bond turned up to 11, fill your boots!

Cool - that's what Bond is about

I agree that it was packed with clichés, but for me that was a negative point. In fact, the whole thing was one big Bond cliché. It was utterly tedious from start to finish and had almost no story-line. Couldn't wait for it to end.

I think that's the point Brian

Don't start getting all molto serioso with us now....

Think we might be having a sexagenerian/octogenarian outing to see it at the weekend

Any of our German colleagues able to tell me whether the DE version is subtitled or dubbed?

It premieres in Europe on the 5th of November.

Some cinema's have the original but most have it dubbed.

Ta! I'm back on the 7th so might not get a chance.

Best of luck, then, Simon!

I couldn't wait to get out. My companion likewise.

From what I have seen from the various trailers, it seems to be full of overdone special effects.

Simpler stuff is sometimes more effective!

Think I'll wait a year or two for it to appear on free-to-view tv.

Very wise!

Alright, E, you've made your feelings abundantly clear, it wasn't for you. Sheesh!

In other news, new Star Wars film features spaceships and light sabres...

God - not more spaceships and light sabres...

Well, we both enjoyed it

Great action, fantastic locations and a story line to dream of.

Hmm, well.......

Saw it yesterday with my two lads (Wifey politely declined...)

Decent storyline, some jaw-dropping effects, fast cars, (very) pretty girls, a small scattering of genuinely funny Bond one-liners, some nice links to previous Bond movies and a really good ending

Also, while it probably doesn't matter too much for a film like this, some of the cinematography was epic - huge vistas and stunning locations - very pleasing to the eye

PS - if you go to watch it expecting it to be anything other than a Bond film, you're (rather predictably) going to be a bit disappointed

but then why would someone do that.....

I have it on good authority that Brian is very bitter after they turned him down for the next Bond role!

I can see him now, clinging on to the Snowdon mountain railway for dear life while under attack from assailants that don't know who he is

Probably going to see this tonight - one of our friends is an extra in it so will be trying to spot her.

If she's in the opening scene you'll be dead lucky.

Not seen it to know exactly be she play a chinese official in some sort of meeting ?

Could she be a baddie...?

IDK. Shes not said too much - no spoilers.

Sorry to disappoint, Simon; I've been far too busy repairing Offa's Dyke to get over to Snowdon.

Euphemism-tastic!

Arf arf!

I'm here all week. All month. For all time...
