To Recruiter,

I'm a pastor and I saw the movie on Sunday evening. While the example of Christ is not found in the film the film does depict the powers and principalities of this world and even glorifies them. These are things we as Christians and pastors need to know and understand. We also need to know what our parishioners and children are watching so we can provide a Christian perspective and corrective.

By the way, I like Q of S alright but I think Casino Royale was better. I also like the new Bond.

Peace in Christ

Hate to tell everyone but people, even Christians, do not go see Bond because of his Christ-likeness. I am not saying it is right but the longed after 15-45 male demo goes to see cool gear, stuff go boom, gun fights and girls.

*sighs* I don't understand the male fascination with James Bond. From what I've seen (and that's not much, thank heavens) Bond takes women for granted, breaks the rules, and is, essentially, worldy in every respect. The kind of character Christians should probably avoid at all costs, or if they watch at all, it's going to be one of the safer Bonds.

In this case, it sounds like Daniel Craig might be helping the Bond franchise turn a corner, just a little bit. Timothy Dalton's Bond did the same thing in "The Living Daylights." All that aside, however, we need to be cautious, like the previous poster mentioned. There should be limits to what we, as followers of Christ, allow into our thoughts.

What might be safe for you may not be good for someone else. Remembering that simple truth in your reviews may be a good place to start. Don't always encourage something just because you loved it; please take all aspects of the film and others' possible reactions to it into consideration.

I am shocked that this movie is featured on a Christian website.

The scriptures tell us not to allow the world to CONFORM us (Rom. 12:2). And the scripture tells us of GOD'S characteristics and how we must display them in our walk (Gala.5:22 & Colo.3:12). If God IS INDEED Love lets also have the qualities in 1 Corin. 13:4-7 (1 John 4:8).

How would you feel if you PASTOR went out to see this? Would you invite JESUS to see this movie with you? Tell me what is so great about James Bond? What characteristics does he display which reflect Jesus? What's next? Scarface?

I bought Casino Royale and threw it away as God asked me what kind of example I'm setting. Casino Royale, a VIOLENT role model for kids, gave people the interest to GAMBLE, sex outof wedlock. "Be Holy like I am Holy"

Count the cost of being a Christian like Paul did (Phili. 3:7-8). When in doubt, ask what would Jesus do? Meditate on this. & *sigh* yes, I am familiar with the story of David... but how about JESUS?

Bond is back in action as the director says the title may be odd, but the plot is familiar. Yet again I am surprised with the action and technology used by the movie Quantum of Solace .One was Bond's cell phone camera capabilities, it is very much related to the current political frame I think http://www.80millionmoviesfree.com Is where I saw and remarkable movie it will be
