Bond...James Bond


A new James Bond film, “Quantum of Solace” has recently opened in theaters. The latest installment in the movie series is getting excellent reviews. Over the years there have been over 20 Bond movies with 6 different actors portraying the legendary 007. It is reported that Bond even cries in this new movie!


Movie goers seem to have a huge appetite for Bond movies as they feature dashing secret agents, beautiful women, fancy cars, neat gadgets and evil villains. These films have earned over 11 billion dollars since the first Bond movie in 1962. Have you seen any Bond movies? What do you think of them? So you think it is difficult to keep the character up to date? Is it funny how he never seems to get older?

Watch the video. What do you think of Bond films? Will you go see this movie? Do you have a favorite movie? My favorite is the original “Casino Royale.” Remember your paragraph must be at least five sentences and proofread it!

I've never seen any James Bond movies myself, but I have played the video game. It was fun. I did not know that there were so many Bond movies. They must really be something to look at. After looking at the trailer, I still have no desire to see a James Bond movie.

In the past, I think I’ve heard more about James Bond than I’ve seen. Although the movie looks good, I don’t know if I’ll be seeing it. Reason being, I don’t like sitting in the movie theatre for long periods of time, and these movies have been known to be long in the past. The James Bond movies are known to be really good from what I hear, so I don’t think this one will be much different. And no, I don’t have a favorite James Bond movie.

I honestly have not seen all of the James Bond movies but I have seen parts. I would like to follow all of them and see what happens at the end. The parts that I have seen definitely keep you wondering what is going to happen next. If you don’t follow the movie from the beginning you will be so lost in it. You have to be able to know what is going on then it will make since. From the parts I have watched I think I would like to see them.

Bond-James Bond is a one of the coolest people ever. I've seen quite a few James Bond movies but not a lot. So far my favorite James Bond movie is the Casino Royale. That is a really good movie in my opinion. It has the action, suspense, and a whole lot of other stuff to.

I, personally, have never seen a "James Bond" movie. I don't like to sit and watch people act out fake events. To me, it is a waste of time. Some people see it as an escape from reality, but I just think I could be doing something better. Everyone has something they enjoy doing, and watching movies just isn't something I like to do.

I have seen 2 of the James Bond movies and I plan on seeing this one. I do not have a favorite James Bond movie. They are pretty cool movies, though. I think that it could be pretty hard to find a new James Bond every time. I also think that it’s pretty funny how he never ages.

James Bond movies are some of the best action movies made. There were 6 different Bonds, but the best was Sean Connery he made James Bond famous. The newest Bond isn’t bad; the movies are still full of action but Sean was a better actor. In Casino Royale, Daniel Craig did a good job by doing his own stunt work. If you happen to watch the trailer it will show you the stunts he was able to do himself and some were hard to, but the big one he had a stunt double. I plan on go to see Quantum of Solace in theaters as soon as I can.

I love to watch James Bond movies. I would go see this movie because it seems like a great action movie. It’s amazing how his movies never get old. Not only is his movies awesome but so is the game. I remember playing the game when with my brothers and I had a great time. The video game inspires me to go watch one of James Bond’s movies. From the preview of his new movie I feel like I would be happy to see it. I feel like that if I go to see it that I would not be wasting my money.

I have not yet seen any James Bond movies; I’m not a big fan of action-adventure films. I believe that there are many Bond fans out in the world but I am not yet one of them. After watching the short film of the new James Bond movie; I have decided that I may try to watch one of the films. After all, there is nothing wrong with trying something new. I feel that if you have never tried something don’t oppose it right away.

Well I’m not a fan of James Bonds movies. I’ve watched a little bit of different kinds of James Bond movies. Every time I see the movie I always see women in it. The movie is an adventure movie. He goes all over the world and meets new people. He is able to get the bad guys. One of the 2000’s James Bond movie has a beautiful actress name Halle Berry. I probably wouldn’t go to see this movie. I like comedy movies like Alvin and the Chipmunks, Meet the Browns, Johnsons Family Vacation, Tyler’s Perry Family Reunion and many more.

I have not seen any Bond movies. I think that, from the commercials I have seen, the movies look very interesting. I may see this movie when it is available to rent. I am not big on going to watch movies in a movie theatre. I like to watch movies at home where I can watch it in bed and am comfortable. I don’t really have one favorite movie. I like, The Pacifier, Cheaper by the Dozen (1 & 2), The Little Rascals, Fools Gold, and National Treasure (1 & 2), just to name a few. So, really, I just like a lot of movies.

Unknown said...

Yes, I have seen a couple of James Bond movies. The James Bond movies that I have seen are 007 Golden Eye and 007 World is Not Enough. I think the movies were very exciting to watch. No, I don't think it is difficult to keep the character up to date. And I also don't think it is funny that he never seems to get older. No, I will not go see the new James Bond movie because I don’t really like James Bond movies anymore. My favorite James Bond movie is 007 Golden Eye.

Who doesn't like James Bond? He is a great main character in every James Bond movie. He makes you sit on the edge of your seat the whole time. James Bond movies are action packed and adventurous. There are many aspects to the movies to make them great. I would love to see the new James Bond movie. They are all very interesting to watch. The suspenseful music goes along with the suspenseful dialog. I love James Bond movies.

Unknown said...

I have only ever seen one of the James Bond movies. I am pretty sure it was Dr. No, although, I am not sure that is the one I watched. It was not my favorite movie. The new one, however, looks like it will be better than the one a saw. I still don’t think I will go see the new one though. I guess you could say I am not really interested in the action type movies.

Throughout my life, I have heard a lot about James Bond. I have yet to actually see a James Bond movie, but I'm sure they are good. I did not know that there were so many movies about him. After watching the trailer, I really want to see some of the movies because it looks like something that I would like. I love action movies that have fast cars and lots of explosions and fighting. Hopefully the new movie can live up to its expectations and be excellent because I would like to see it as soon as it comes out.

I personally do not recall watching many James Bond movies. In some clips that I have seen from various movies I have noticed that Bond never ages. I like James Bond films because they are very suspenseful. They tend to keep you on the edge of your seat and you can't stop watching it because you want to see the outcome. I would probably not go see this movie in theatres because when I go to the movies I don't usually watch the action films. If this movie was on at my house though, I would most likely flip to it because I would be a little familiar with it from the clip we viewed in class. James Bond movies are very popular and they should continue to be made.

I don’t think I have ever seen a James Bond movie. However, my uncle is a huge fan of the James Bond films. He has a whole wall filled with posters and pictures signed by some of the actors. I would probably like to go see this movie. I do like action films and it has been a long time since I saw a good action movie. I love going to the movies and this movie looks like it would be worth while.

I have never seen any James Bond movies. After seeing the preview we saw today in class, it looks like a kind of action- packed movie. I personally was never fascinated to watch any James Bond movies, but this one looks interesting to me. I like movies that are interesting with excitement and adventure and this movie looks like it has all these things. I might just change my mind and watch this movie to see for myself how good it is.

I have seen many of James Bond movies before. His movies are very entertaining, and fun to watch. The best thing about his movies is that they never gets old, od boring. Now that I seen a preview of his movie, I would like to go to the theaters again and see a movie of his very soon. My favorite James Bond movie is 007 Golden Eye.

Unknown said...

The preview was good. I might go see it and I might not, the economy is so bad that a movie is not my choice of a basic need... I have seen a lot of previews but this one is by far the best. My favorite movie is not out the James bond collection. My favorite movie is enough. I like that movie because it shows no matter how far down you are you can always get back up.

I have only seen one of the James Bond movies. I didn’t really like it. I do not like thriller movies. I like funny movies, such as the movie that was created for children called “Bolt”. It is about a dog named Bolt and a hamster. It looks like a wonderfully funny movie, unlike James Bond. James Bond is a type of movie that would scare me.

I thnk that after seeing that video, I am going to see the newest release. My parents have seen almost ever James Bond movie ever made. It is a selection of movies that my whole family enjoys to watch. My favorite movie is Rush Hour because it is full of humor and action. James Bond has some of the best movies ever made and I think that everyone should see them.

Dee Dee said...

I have never seen any James Bond movies. But from watching the trailer his movies do seem interesting to watch. I have never heard of him or any of his movies and thats because I am not really into action and adventure movies. But now I will be sure to go out and buy some and watch them with my family. And hope fully I will like them.

I really haven’t watched that many Bond movies, but I do play the games. So far the movies that I have seen were great. No, I will not go see the new Bond movie when it comes out because I really don’t have that much time to do that. When it comes out on DVD I will get it. I really don’t have a favorite Bond movie but if I did I think that it would be the new one.
