Wasnt really looking forward to it but starting to get a bit excited....sad I know.

Went to UCI cinema last night to see Borat and when walking out there was an Aston Martin DB9 and a Vanquish and the one from Living Daylights...complete with rocket launcher and skis !!!!!

Was gobsmacked !!! The Vanquish (as some of you know, my dream car) looked incredible in real life !!!!

If you get the chance head down there to have a look, think they are there tonight and tomorrow.

Well saw it last night,

Must admit I had reservations about Daniel Criag being the new James Bond...to me he just didnt have that something that makes a 'Bond' actor.

So the film started and we were greeted to fairly graphic scenes of violence (not complaining....I enjoyed it lol), crazy stunts etc in the pursuit of villains, casino card playing, some fairly attractive (not as nice as previous actresses it must be said) women....text book stuff.

And then the Aston (Vanquish) appeared.......I almost wet myself when I heard the sound of it......just awesome !!! Puts our Jap exhausts to shame !!

I found myself being pleasantly suprised and thought he made a pretty good James Bond, he didnt seem as refined or as sophisticated like Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan but presumably as this was the first film it was designed to be like that.

Only bad pointers is that the film had such a great momentum until the last 30 mins and the ending was predictable and a bit poor in all honesty.

So to give it an out of 10 score it would be an 8, let down only by the ending.

I read somewhere that there's already another film in the pipeline for a couple of years time.

Post your thoughts on here chaps.

Going to go and see it saturday afternoon - it's the first bond movie in ages that i'm rushing to see. I bet it will be the biggest grossing one so far.

I must remember to actually go to one of the premieres !!!

I do work for Eon Productions who make the Bond movies, they always say "Dont forget to ask for a couple of VIP passes for the premiere" but I never seem to time it right !!! :roll: :roll:

I think they have done alot with Bond the last 10 years so Im sure they wont drop the ball now.

Breaking Bond records already, however it is obvious it will take more money today - but if they did a comparison between the cost of making bond in the 60's and what it took I bet it would be pretty equal, plus I doubt it cost
