Time to stop emoting all over the place. Time to start killing people again.

For everyone who wants a step back and more realistic Bond film, you've already seen Brosnan's. It was called The Thomas Crown Affair.

Thats as realistic as Bond is going to get now days. Were past the Connery era FRWL because Moore took things well beyond it as his 007.

I would love to see CR as a film, and have it structured to look like TCA. It would have to have more action, but Brosnan screams class, style, wit and brains in it and the characters are well developed and it does move along at a feaviourish pace considering there are NO major action sequences in it. That, i feel is what pulls down some of the recent films they rely on lengthy action scenes too often.

TNDs 2nd hour is really just action, no plot. I hate that, TWINE was much better, but "flatter" in places.

If they ever aim for a more realistic Bond a TCA styled Casino Royale would be perfect, and much cheaper than the 120+ million they are currently paying for DAD.

I agree, especially with John McTiernan directing Brosnan for the third time.
