About 20 minutes too long. Suffered from inadequate editing. OK otherwise, but “Goldfinger” it isn’t

Saw it. For a Bond movie it was one of the better ones. Good roller coaster ride, good (and funny) references to old Bond flicks. Decent story. Beautiful... well you know.

4 out of 5 stars.

wow. sorry you guys are still having to deal with that.

after a morning like that, are you sure the movie was that totally awesome, or were you just so happy to finally be at the movies that it could have been The Smurfs Go To Rainbowland and you would have been just as awed?

j/k hope gas gets easier to get for you soon.

I saw Casino Royale this afternoon and liked it a bit better than the first time. Still not great but at least it was one of the very few to have any connection to the book.

The only 007 I like is Sean Connery. Daniel Craig is probably OK. Goldfinger was the best Bond movie IMO. Never say Never again was 2nd best.

North by Northwest (Hitchcock’s best) was the precursor to the Bond movies and is my all time favorite besides Day of the Jackal.

Please stop supporting and glorifying Hollywood and the ideals it espouses.

Thank you.

We just saw it tonight. My first Daniel Craig Bond movie and I loved him. Others in the group liked Casino Royale better. Daniel Craig completely pulls off the role even though he isn't as suave and debonair as Connery. The twists often caught me by surprise and I liked the psychological drama thrown in this time. I watched a lot of it peeking through my fingers covering my eyes. If you like Bond movies, you'll love this one.

Save your money.

The movie comes to an early climax as new Bond villain Adele crushes metrosexual Daniel Craig by jumping on him.

Prince Harry is tasked by M with killing Adele. Unfortunately he gets drunk and forgets his mission.

Saw it with my wife and daughter today. All three of us wanted to stay and watch it a second time.

Excellent.

Hahaha...some of the comments here remind me of that old saying by Mencken about Puritanism being the haunting fear that someone, somewhere is happy.

I saw the movie, it was fun. Not rocket science, but hey, who goes to see a Bond movie expecting it to adhere to the laws of nature and physics?

And the evil guy was sufficiently creepy to merit laughter from both my wife and I.

True to the basic Bond formula. After seeing the first 22 installments, I still get excited. Daniel Craig is good, Sean Connery was the best. Wow, having I been watching Bond movies for 50 years?

I saw it on IMAX- you get spoiled with IMAX and it is hard to watch movies in regular theaters. The humongous screen really reveals that Daniel Craig’s face has a lot of potmarks in closeups and let’s not even talk about M’s wrinkles!

That said, the movie was excellent- just suspend your beliefs in parts and tell yourself it is Hollywood- and enjoy the escapism, which after the storm (I’m in coastal Jersey) and the election can only benefit your mental health for a couple of hours.

Saw it in Europe on a Monday - (small) theater was full. Good film - yes! Bond film - no! 20 minutes too long - probably.

I would be spending money better useful in another direction, like another case or two of drinking water. Or more camping fuel, or propane for the trailer should I have a disater and I need to live in it.

Hubby and I saw it in The Texas Theater last night.....and thought it was the best Bond ever.....really liked the references to old school Bond...so it was neat to see it in an old theater.....red velvet chairs and no cup holders or Lee Harvey Oswald either.....
