Forums - General Discussion - John Travolta is not James Bond!!!

I agree. The ripoff title and average looking story/acting/action makes me not want to watch it.

And Semi-Off Topic: I don't consider the Daniel Craig "Bond" movies to be real James Bond movies. Where is the class? Where is Q? Where are the gadgets (kind of the same as where is Q)? Where are the great car chases? All we have is a disgruntled, angry, ugly white guy pretending to be Bond.

Daniel Craig is Bond (besides the hair). He is super classy. Q didn't appear in the Casino Royale story so they didnt put him in the movie or the sequel. Casino Royale had a cool car chase and Quantum opened with one.

OT: I hated the title when I heard about it a year ago. Worst of all is Travolta's character is obsessed with Royales with Cheese. Really! Just a cliche fucking reference to one of the best movies ever. FUCK YOU whoever made this movie.

Dreadful.

What about class? Did you not notice the martinis and the suits and beaches? As for Q, he really wasn't that great. You'd make a better case arguing for the return of Moneypenny (who was totally awesome). Q and his ridiculous gadgets nearly ruined the series with the Brosnan films. A cool gadget here and there is good (I'm sure most people remember Bond's awesome car from Goldfinger or his well-armed plane from You Only Live Twice). However, Q just overdid it. Invisible car? Enough said. Great car chases...there are great car chases. Like the opening scene of Quantum of Solace.

Today is a horrible day in the history of cinema.  Today is the U.S. debut of From Paris With Love.  It features a fat, foul mouthed, potato headed, hoop earring wearing, and goateed John Travolta running around with an uzi in each hand pretending that he's an action hero.  Well, I guess it's better than him pretending that he's an actor.  A bunch of explosions look to hide the fact that he hasn't appeared in anything worth mentioning since Pulp Fiction.  

The worst thing of all about this movie though is that it rips off one of the greatest titles of all time.  That title is From Russia, With Love.  For those of you who don't know; From Russia, With Love is the name of the fantastic Ian Fleming novel featuring James Bond and also happens to be the name of one of the top Bond movies ever made.  Mr. Fleming must be rolling in his grave.

I repeat- John Travolta is not James Bond!!!   

It's mistakenly referred to as a goatee but it's much closer to the Van Dyke.  I call it a prison pussy.

I've never even heard of it (From Paris in Love)

It seems that that's a good thing.

While I don't think that the latest Bond movies are on the same level as the early ones, I do think that Daniel Craig is a good Bond.  I also believe that he's a pretty classy guy.  Concerning Q; I have to admit that I did like the many of the gadgets in the movies.  For example, the Attache case in FRWL is about as cool as it gets, but the gadgets in the Brosnan films like the already mentioned invisible car were ridiculous.  In other words, I would like Q to return, but would rather him not come back if the gadgets return to being as outlandish as the one's in say, Die Another Day.  The opening car chase in Quantm of Solace was pretty exciting.  Yes, Craig's Bond is disgruntled but they all were to some degree.  About him being ugly, ask any random girl on the street and I bet that her opinion probably differs from yours.

This is the first that I have heard about Travolta's character being obsessed with Royale's with cheese.  I wouldn't be surpised if you also told me that he was into Big Kahuna Burger.

The worst apart about this is that I expect someone to make a thread in response to this one after From Paris With Love makes more money at the box office than From Russia with Love, completely ignoring the fact that they were released almost fifty years apart and that there's such a thing as inflation.

I love you Amp, and this thread too. From Russia With Love is amazing (the novel was one of the best things I've ever read).


I can't wait to see it...

You can't wait to see what?  From Russia, With Love?

Go rent it.  It's a tremendous film.
