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.

"You know what they call a quarter pounder in France? A royale with cheese! It's all because of the metric system."

"And what do they a Big Mac?"

"Big Mac's still a Big Mac but they call it 'LE Big Mac' "



Signature goes here!

From what i've seen they're trying to rip off Die Hard/Pulp fiction more then they are Bond.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah great car chase in Casino Royale. He drives for about 10 seconds and then flips his car. Real exciting. I'll admit Quantam had a decent car chase; but nothing like the great Pierce Brosnan chases like Tomorrow Never Dies where he drives his car from his cell phone in that parking garage or Goldeneye's tank scene, etc.

I don't consider 2 hours of poker, and 20 minutes of action a great bond film.

I doubt that, apart from the title the movie is mirrored after Bond. I mean, really, you believe that they intentionally go for a James Bond vibe? I have only seen the trailer and from the looks of it, it looks more like a Jacky Chan movie then a James Bond movie. I doubt people will relate this to "From Russia with love".


John Travolta isn't Jackie Chan either.  Jackie does all of his own stunts.  Travolta needs 50 people to do his hair.  He doesn't even do that.

Anybody that's ever heard the title From Russia, With Love will know that this movie is ripping off it's title.

lol the best part about that statement is Travolta is bald in that move... And I agree this will be crap...



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

How does he manage to flip it anyway? My works van has better handling than that car.

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!!!   

Completely agree.

Disagree:
Travolta is not only a great actor (at least, if he wants - he seems lazy to me), he also was in 4 very good post-Pulp Fiction movies imo:
Get Shorty
Face/Off
The Thin Red Line
Primary Colors
(plus maybe Mad City, which was not nearly as good as I had expected though)

I've never heard about From Paris With Love before. A quick research revealed that it was written/produced by Luc Besson. In my opinion Besson wrote/directed one great. one very good and two good movies in the 80s and 90s, but I didn't like any of his post-1997 works I watched.
