    I loved CR on first viewing, and still do -{ only my opinion, but for me it's up there with
    OHMSS as my favourite Bond film. :) ( Then LTK )

    Still my favorite Craig film. Skyfall is close. But I like CR smaller feel to it. Was great. Still great.

    how does it feel dated though?

    Some of the set design, heavy use of cell-phones, cars (Ford Mondeo), product-placement (Blu-ray, Sony, Virgin), fashion - especially Craig's ill-fitting suits funny sunglasses, usage of then popular Texas Hold-em, dialogue (it's Gilmore Girls-ish) etc.

    I am reminded of what Lewis Gilbert said to Barbara Bach in TSWLM when she said some of the fashion choices were too muted "some things won't look good in ten-years, they can't be too current now" (paraphrasing). It comes across to me in CR that this wasn't followed...

    The fashions in CR aren't so bad. Craig's wide-legged suit trousers are really the only problem, but the dinner suit still looks great, especially since it has different trousers than the other Brioni suits. I feel strange trying to back up my least-favourite Bond film.

    Nothing wrong with the Persols either!!

    I would say Skyfall has much worse product placement. That Omega shot in the digger is crazy long / blatant

    I thought the mobile usage got daft in QoS especially at the opera

    excellent points made thanks Mr. Drax, and Matt i'm also not a fan of the Brioni Suits in CR besides the Bahamas arrival suit as they look stuck in the 90s to my eye, leftovers from the Brosnan era. But then again I don't know where fashion was in 2005-2006. Also Craig's bellbottom pants he wears in the Bahamas with the Sunspel Polo didn't look good in 2006.

    I think the engine on that digger sounded a little rough, and think Bond was looking at his
    Watch ( the long insert ) to time how long he could keep the revs up. ;)
