Rrrrrreally? And you're saying this despite not having seen it? You're actually disagreeing with people who have seen the film, even thought you haven't, and not just any random people, but people who critique movies for a living? ks.

I can tell from the adverts it won't be as good. They're making them too realistic, losing the fun from them. I'll pick up a copy on DVD when I'm in Malaysia next week and report back what I think. Sometimes you really deserve the ribbing you get George!
Plus it's only like me not liking any new Ferrari despite not having driven them

See you at the 'premiere' next week - the excitement is building with so many great reviews appearing in the press!
You've got tickets to the premiere of Skyfall Molly? How did you manage that?!I think the reviews that say its the best Bond ever are b
ks. Haven't seen it yet but there's no way it can live up to the early ones in terms of entertainment value imo.There's always going to be massive hype going on around a new film but the reviews certainly seem to be very good this time. Not much point in comparing it to earlier Bond films (classic or otherwise) because most people have their favourites but often they have more to do with childhood memories that you can't expect to improve on!
Would now be a good time to mention that my cousin was a Bond girl in 'View to a Kill'? Not in the key role admittedly but one of the classic silhouette figures in the opening credits and a small role in the film. Not one of the best films I'm afraid but still will be a nice thing to tell her grandchildren one day!
Is this where I announce that I was in a Bond film???
As you are aware the 1997 'Tomorrow never dies' featured a number of Royal Navy warships. The fictitious HMS Chester, Devonshire and Bedford. The ships used were the real life Tyre 23 frigates HMS Somerset and Westminster for the exterior shots with the interior 'Operations Room' clips filmed in the simulators at HMS Dryad near Southwick village outside Portsmouth. The scenes were shot in early 1996 when I was a employed as an Instructor in the simulators so I made an excuse to be in the 'operations Room' when the filming took place. Although a fleeting glimpse I can tell it was me (Although my wife disputes it).
The best thing about the filming were the 'Crew Wagons' that provided the best mobile lunches you could ask for.....

It was sounding quite impressive 'til you told us your wife disputes it! As you are aware the 1997 'Tomorrow never dies' featured a number of Royal Navy warships.
