redhotchick Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 See the scene where the girl is on horseback cantering down the beach. That was me in a previous life (when I lived in the Caribbean) OMG. What am I doing now? (saving for the future?) On another note. I'm completely distracted. Can anyone tell me what it's about?

Patricia W Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 You have chickens now - no contest for riding horses on beaches in the Carribean? Maybe... Tell us more about the Carribean.. Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I don't like this film, too violent, for the sake of it. I let my children watch it when it came out on DVD most Bonds being basically ok apart from a bit of saucy stuff, but it was awful especially the scene with the chair The only film I have wished that I had watched first. Sorry to change the tone of the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 It's Ok ChickenCam. I think it was issued as a PG-13. It's difficult to monitor everything your children are exposed to. My 15 year old niece is a voracious reader, whilst on holiday recently she raided the "library" of books left by other holiday makers. My OH mentioned to me that the subject matter of one of the books she had read was very racy. Too late. She had read it then. It's not the most entertaining of Bond films, it doesn't have the dry humour of past films. Not particularly family entertainment, but I loved some of the scenery. Venice for example. Tricia, I lived in Trinidad. OMG, it was the best thing I have ever done. I loved the food, the people, the carnival build up and celebrations, sailing, the latino influences, I learnt to salsa, merengue and cha cha, and I was out dancing all the time! Trinidad is not a very touristy island. Tobago is and the flights were really cheap! I went for many short breaks, horse riding, catamaran sailing, hot tubs under banyan trees. Aaaah..... There was a trade off though! My pay wasn't great and my (quite large) family was far away. It has made me really appreciate the UK. The temperate climate. The relative safety in which we live.

Cinnamon Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I really love this film & I adore Daniel Craig as a more brutal,thuggish Bond I liked him falling in love with Vesper too, & some of the scenery is amazing. Especially love the final set piece with the big beautiful mansion on the peninsula....stunning! Easily one of my most favourite Bond movies, & probably in my all time top ten flims ever Lovely surprise to find it on last night - I stayed up & watched it all,even with the stupid news break in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I don't like this film, too violent, for the sake of it.

Sorry to change the tone of the thread. We watched it on dvd recently and Jake(9) kept asking if he could watch it. I checked with my daughter and we decided that most of his friends ahd already seen it and he would be OK. We watched it together and he was fine - and he was laughing with glee at the 'chair scene' Typical. I enjoyed it and I'm not a Bond fan - I like the newer ones better than the older ones - Pierce Brosnan onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I seem to be the only one in our family to like these new Bond films. I loved Pierce Brosnan as Bond and didn't think I'd ever warm to Daniel Craig but I have done and enjoyed the last couple of films more than the earlier ones. Saying that, the chair scene made me hide behind my hands . Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I'm afraid Roger Moore was my favourite (being a mature lady of 47) - that eyebrow would reduce me to jelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Quite enjoyed it, but must be an old fuddy-duddy as I got bored during the multiple chase and fight scenes and kept thinking that if they had halved the length of them, there would have been more time to explain the plot! I'm still not quite sure what was going on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
