Went to see this last night. It was a much better film than we have come to expect from the franchise. A few set pieces of course, but quite a few laughs (taking the mick out of the Bond myth stuff). And a better plot. Craig looking convincingly knackered in the early section. Dench on form. Cameos by Rrralf Ffeinneesss and Albert FFFinnney.
OMG the adverts though were half an hour of torment. Lots of loud Bond themed ones. Missed NZ where they do not inflict more than one or two.
My tip, if you have to go in the evening, is to go early (so you don't have to sit at the front) and nab your seats. Then persuade a companion to sit tight while you go for a coffee or something. Or take a sound proofed bag to put your head in.

Just back from the cinema. I thought it was brilliant. One of the best Bonds ever.

Grannylin I think Monty did something similar recently or maybe it was the lovely Carol Klein?

Loved it! I even agreed with most of the critics reviews which makes a change.

DH and I saw it tonight and loved it, It has the best and most chilling baddy in it played by Javier Bardez, he makes the film. One of the all time great Bond films.

We finally got to the film yesterday and I also thought it was one of the best Bond film ever, I love Dame Judy and its also the first time I've seen Daniel Craig in anything , I thought everyone was excellent I'd happily sit through it again... OH loved it too and he usually falls asleep at the flicks..

I have just watched the new Bond film Skyfall and I am not sure but I think the house that gets blown to smithereens is the same as the house used in The Woman In Black. What do you think?
