GOOD MOVIE NOT BETTER THAN GOLDFINGER
I like the menu system a lot, although I had hoped the menus from the ultimate editions might have made it over, as they seemed to have been modelled a little on Casino Royale and would have suited the film well. In all honesty, that was more of a hope than an expectation, and these new menus are jolly nice.
Awesome. Great to see it confirmed the R3 is getting an exclusive DTS track. My copy from CD WOW shipped the other day.
I really like this movie and may pick it up, but the small amount of bonus material is really unacceptable. I was hoping for an audio commentary by Martin Campbell, myself. And no deleted scenes? Sony is bound to have a better edition of this title available in six months' time...
And what's with those menus? I don't understand the black-and-white theme, when 90% of the movie is in color. They're nicely designed though -- the special features disc I suspect is the same for all regions. (Has anyone noticed that when Sony releases a 2-disc set, all the features on the 2nd disc are subtitled in Spanish, Chinese, Korean and Thai -- how come they don't have English subtitles?)

Will they screw us like in The Departed with 'bonus' special features in Best Buy and Target that aren't really on the pack?
those menus rock!
Killer b/w menus but I am going to wait for the inevitable double dip.
Great menus.
Very slick and classy menus, I dig 'em.
Considering my campus is playing this free tonight and tomorrow night...I'm gonna try to hold out for a Special Edition.
I love this movie. The menus look cool, but I'll know for sure come the 13th of March. I do have to say that I disagree with the quote on the back, and say Connery was better than Craig. But that's just me.
Awesome retro looking menus, still getting it even with it's lack of extra's

Why is Lighter African American when he's been White in every other Bond film that he's appeared in? Why did Connery not recognise him when he met Lighter in Dr. No if he'd met him years earlier in Casino Royale.
The name was Felix Leiter.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!IS IT OVER YET?
In no way, shape, or form does this count as a Bond film. It doesn't even come close to Roger Moore or Tim Dalton, the c**ppiest of the Bonds. James Bond is not supposed to be blonde. This guy's too model-ish to be bond. Bond is supposed to be rugged, not effeminate.
This BOND was great. A very nice change of pace, seeing as the last few were getting cartoonish but at the same time they were taking themselves far too seriously as well.
Too bad they screwed up the bond ultimate editions by just randomly grouping the movies together. I wish they would have done them in order and then waited to release new box sets, or grouped by actor perhaps. (i suppose i do understand their reasoning tho... make as much money off of the dvd market right now... then release everything again for every new movie... also an extra bonus is new realses to bluray and HD formats) B*****DS!!!

loved the film and can't wait for the release, on dvd, either way it's a film i will watch over and over again.

You're kidding right? Craig is the most rugged Bond since Connery. Moore and Brosnam, now that's effete, lol!
