The series is just awesome and destroys anything else in the same genre. You can tell that the bond series did respond to this in the last couple of films.

I really wish they would make more and it's perfect to do it as a prequel when he was under orders and in their control. It has to be the same director and cast though, I can see a new director making a hash of it.

edit:- The first one with the chase is a great test for your cinema setup, crank the sound and it's awesome

Despite the whole [silly voice]Madd Dayyyymannn[/silly voice] lark, I think he is quite an accomplished and diverse actor

All three are in my top 10 films. I've loved Matt Damon as an actor since I saw Good Will Hunting, also in my top 10

I loved Casino Royale, it was very good and is the closest in quality to the Bourne franchise, but I've never been able to finish Quantum of Solace, I've tried on 3 occassions and never gotten past the first shoot out in Italy because of the godawful direction, notably the directors inability to hold a shot for any longer than a nanosecond before changing camera. I've never seen anything like it in my life (to that degree) and, if I'm being honest, I hope I never do again, if this were the future of direction I would never watch another new movie again, it offended me that badly.

I've never made it through that film either Nokkon. A massive disappointment given how good Casino Royale was.

Green zone out at the cinemas http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0947810/

Is directed by the same people and star Matt Damon and looks liek it should be as good as the trilogy.
