The simple answer to your question is no bj.
But whilst we're having a little Q&A, is there anything about QOS that appeals to you?

Let's see now.....judging from the photos on this page Craig looks worse than ever as Bond :shock: . A henchman named of all things 'Elvis' is a main character :shock: . Craig had to wear lifts in his shoes so as not to be dwarfed by opposing leading ladies in high heels :shock: . This same nonsensical premise that M is 'teaching' Craig's Bond how to become 007 is ridiculous :shock: . A storyline that revolves around world domination, at a local level, of water seems lame :shock: . There are minimal gadgets :shock: . Desolate terrains are to be seen in this film, supposedly relating to Bond's inner empty feelings :shock: . This will be a Bourne-like action fest in the shortest film in the franchise's history :shock: . M strips Bond of his license to kill, ala LTK in 1989, how original :shock: . This 'unoriginal original' film was directed by a novice to the spy genre films who was hell bent on throwing in environmental themes as a subplot :shock: . All in all, yes, there is plenty of appeal for me to enjoy this film :roll: . The ONLY thing about this pile of avant-garde Bond nonsensical film is that it is one film closer to Craig vacating the role and normalcy being restored to the franchise once Sony takes over and buys out Eon. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And if a tool like Cavill was in the role you'd be giddy as a school boy about this flick.

No present OR future Bond film that portays him as a 'novice learning his trade' will be acceptable, I do not care who plays the role. I want this reboot concept scrapped and Craig's films all dismissed as 'experimental art' for the franchise. :cheers:

After the success of CR, I highly doubt EON will treat Craig's tenure the same way they treated OHMSS during the 70s and 80s.

I watched 2 television commercials of TBM with my friends during 2 football games. My friends are average movie goers and they all thought Craig looked like Putin, was too small to portray Bond, and just don't get why he is in the role. I know there are others who think differently but this was a random sample of 10 people here in the USA.

Whenever it gets released, The Topkapi Affair with Brosnan will be more Bond-like than CR or TBM, whereas Craig's copying(ie, MIMICRY) of the Bourne saga, diverges away from traditional Bond consciousness. :mrgreen:

The way I'm treating his movies is like a strike season in sports that have replacement players instead of the real stars.

In yours and your lapdog katied's opinion maybe.
You've got her well trained. :lol:
Don't you get fed up with the bourne mimicry stuff? It's a little tiresome. Just my opinion.

2 out of three aint bad.
The GF ripoff as you call it, will be a tiny part of the overall film. As for the dancing girls. Why is that so bad?
