SERIOUSLY nice body - the movie wasn't bad either...

I would have preferred they played European baccarat like the original book instead of Texas Hold 'em (the baccarat played in American casinos is actually a variation called chemin de fer, sometimes grossly simplified as 'mini-baccarat'), but it is said producer Michael G. Wilson (Barbara Broccoli's stepbrother) is a very good poker player; also consider it's the hot casino game today. But I don't mind playing Texas Hold 'em - you'll find more Hold 'em tables than baccarat.

I'm going to see it Monday. The only thing I'm leary on was that this new guy doesn't look like a James Bond. James Bond is supposed to look smooth, this new guy looks a little rough.

Even the literary James Bond had that world-weary look to him... scar down his right cheek, among other places. Ignoring that Daniel Craig is blonde, rather than dark-haired, as previous cinema Bonds were, I think he'll do well as 007.

I liked it. My fav parts were the opening and closing scenes. Waaaaay better than those cheesy trailers in the theater a year ago made it look.

He was a good Bond. Entertaining. He has a nice body but an ugly face.

I saw it as well, and enjoyed it. Totally entertaining escapist fun.

He does have that um, rugged look about his face. Looks dang good without his shirt on though.
