# Haha.
I also couldn't help notice the constant sponsorship.

# oh yes, and a crackin' film it is too
roll on 2008 for the next one.
sadly, product placement is par for the course for films like this, die another day had shitloads of it.
At least CR was a much better film

# hello fellow...
I went to watch it last night but couldn't.... Very long story, but my nine year old cousin tells me there is a lot of product placement :o)

# 'ning fella
If you get the opp. go and see it, well worth it, and if they follow
on the story in the next film, they have a GOLDEN opportunity to bring someone back

# I'll go on Thursday...
Instead of driving from Brum to Burton and back four times (which is what I did instead :o( )

# I couldn't stand Die Another Day.
It was a load of adolescent single entendres and ridiculous superhero gadgets and took itself far too seriously. And yet these are exactly the things I liked about all the other Bond films* so it was astonishing feat to make them conspicuously awful. The "post 9-11" apology at the intro was rubbish too.

I expect Casony Royale will have no problem following it.

* On Her Majesty's Secret Service isn't a Bond film, just a sort of romantic thriller where the hero happens to be a spy called James Bond.

# i hate ohmss.
i know i am in the minority, but i think it's a pile of badly-acted, atrociously costumed, poorly-scripted bobbins.

# the only bit of product placement i didn't like
was the car... not even integrated into the film, just swooshing around like a car advert.

# Alfa Romeo, or Aston Martin?
(I helped save b3ta! M3Essential and The Essentials. LIVE!, Mon 20 Nov 2006, 19:17, archived)
# the ford.
bond is supposed to drive an aston martin, so that was fine.
in a way, a film going out of its way not to feature brand names is more noticeable/annoying than if brand names we see every day are featured incidentally in shot.

# it only features in a very short montage.
otherwise the product placement is largely unnoticeable.

# I know this, but even so, it was a little obvious to keep it in
considering some of the liverties they took with the overall story.
I'm wondering if they'll continue the story in 2008?

I mean I love a '69 Mustang as much as the next guy, but not for Bond.

Best "Sponsorship" was the Ford car - yeah, it was a hire car but they are milking it on the ford radio Ads - its not quite an Aston is it, eh ?
