McLennan - Quantum of Solace better than Casino Royale?

You've lost your mind.

QoS was mind-numbingly dull. And that Ukranian woman trying to pull off Bolivian or some bloody thing - spectacularly terrible casting

Which is the one where he gets hit in the knackers?

That's the best one.

Make Ms. Terrorist swoon by sauntering out of the sea in your undercrackers will you Craig?

Take that. THERWHACK!

Its my opinion I guess, but Daniel Craig is surely battling with Timothy Dalton as the worst ever Bond?

He is not a bad actor, in fact, he is a very good one, but the Bond films he has been in have NOT been Bond films - They have been very poor rip-offs of the Bourne series.

Yes, some might say that Craig follows the Bond character from the books, but the fact is the FILMS have been based on a character steeped in intelligence, a killer instinct AND humour, something which the Craig version of Bond just doesn't have, and the films suffer massively as a result.

If I wanted a steel-eyed assasin with little personality, I'll stick with Matt Damon and the excellent Bourne films.

When I was a kid my Dad promised to take me to see Jaws if I got my hair cut. What I got was some bloke with metal teeth in Moonraker.

Bond and complete let down have walked hand in hand ever since.

....Moonraker was part of the Bond era when Roger Moore was on take-the-p*** cruise control.....Add Octopussy, For Your eyes Only and View To A Kill....All an absolute shambles, which was a shame, because in his first few outings as Bond, Moore did a decent job and the films were also good story-wise.

Never really done it for me either.
I'd be struggling to say I've ever sat through a full movie.

Now Quint, in Jaws, that's more like it.

It is pretty poor.
