New Bond film cuts catch phrases

By taking out the trademark phrases they ruin the esssence of the classic bond, and i think alot of bond fans are going to be mad and dissapointed that the classic bond that they know and love is not going to be in the new film; and if Ian Flemming knew of this he would turn in his grave. Personally I'm angry at the producers for not seeing the bigger picture.Wake up hollywood.

After Die another day that Bond died!!! I mean i can understand the way that they decided to change the characture a slight bit to refresh the films, but i mean once they cut the gadgets was bad enough and now 'THE LINES?!' I mean they really are killing the characture off and Bonds becoming a 'High Fueled action junkie'...And if what they claim 'This is Bond starting from fresh' when ever will they bring him back to his neutral self?

All you guys are forgetting, that Q, Moneypenny, his introductions and one liners hardly featured at all in Flemming's novels. So much for "the manners of Sir Jan Fleming, of those spies with an Eaton education and the Empire in the blood." They'd probably be shot if they used the same introduction to any possible adversary.

No Bond James Bond is bull! That line has been in every Bond movie except 2. It is a tradition. No MoneyPenny, no Gadgets no Q! Lets not turn Bond into Bourne!

Well it does say they shot the lines, so hopefully I can get my bond either shaken or stirred. This is the future after all!

Craig Daniels version is more of the real Bond morphed into into our modern world. The old Caddish camp versions Connery and Roger Moore, and overly toy focused Brosnan arent true to the real essense of Flemmings Bond. Hes supposed to have an edge , be slightly cruel and wrestle with his demons, all the while covereed in well known elite brands , just as Fleming did. Hes English remember they aint that nicer race of people. And to those that criticise the new M , get out of the 50's dude, its 08 and the real Ms already been a chick. At least the female characters in the last film had some character depth and could hold their own rather than the 1 dimensional shag and leave relics of earlier films. Mate if you want pussy galore look up porn on the net or visit our DVD store. Im looking forward to the next one......bond on a vengance run is going to be great. And to those whom are critcal and talk about the worl financial markets ....who cares.we all remember IT Bubble, Savings and Loans, Enron and Co ....this is just the latest drama .think about it :lets lend to bad credit people at discounted rates and repayments..common sense and corperate bonuses are obviously mutually exclusive.

While I like Daniel Craig as Bond the franchise has changed so much that I don't recognize it as the Bond I grew up with. Since Timothy Dalton the franchise has moved into a more violent, action packed movie series that is no different than any other action packed movie. The series has lost its charm, sophistication, and spy quality. Not uttering my name is "Bond, James Bond" only emphasizes the removal of any recognizable aspects of the original franchise. Bond is a spy and I think these aspects of the film need to be reintroduced. It is alright to do away with the silly aspects of the franchise but Bond needs to be sneaky, sly, and less violent or he becomes another Hollywood action hero. The dark, vengeful Bond is getting old. The producers need to be more creative. I always felt Brosnan's best Bond was his non-Bond film The Thomas Crown Affair. However,I think taking way the Bond line is appropriate since the new Bond is nothing like the old one. I'm all for change as long as it works. So far, I'm not too sure it is working.

You obviously don't understand what part the last Bond film played in the Bond storyline or why there was emotion in that particular film.

No. That was stupid of them to cut it.

I believe one of Albert "Cubby" broccoli's last words of advice before he passed away was "not to f**k things up" (with regards to the Bond movies), and not to mess with the formula. He knew that the formula worked, and has worked for decades. To quote the old adage "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" If Mr. Broccoli was still alive he'd have a fit.

First they got rid of the silouhette girls in the opening credits, then they got rid of Q (or whoever John Kleese was going to be), during the last Bond film. Now they want to get rid of his signature phrase and drink? Too old fashioned? gimme a break. This is Bond, not the new Mission Impossible. It's classic, and anything classic will contain traditional (i.e. "old fashioned") elements in it. Once you take those out, it is no longer classic. It's something new. Are these people on crack?

They (the producers and director) are not being open-minded, they are being lazy and foolish. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to make a simple phrase such as "bond.James bond" work on screen. I think success and lethargy has dulled their senses.
