Yuck!

Rating: 1/10 (25 November 2006)

Not even close to Bond. Sorry, to all those Daniel Craig fans, but truly awful. Bond, set today, with no gadgets? Bond, set today, with Judy Dench, as M? Bond with the face of a villain, no sex appeal, no charisma, no yum? As an action flick, minus the "Bond" headline, so-so, but Bond? Not even close. Have seen every Bond movie, more than once, this Bond has the face of a bad guy...this is not Bond, not even close. Set this movie in the 60's, attempt to believe that this guy, as ordinary as he is, may just possibly be the beginning, OK, major stretch of the ability of disbelief, but set now? Not a chance. Waste of money, waste of time, waste of everything. Sorry to have spent the money, sorry to have hoped for a taste of something new, mostly sorry for bad taste in mouth after this awful, awful movie. Mostly sorry to have not waited until it was on TV for free. Bond is an ideal, there is a formula, that is what makes it Bond. Give this guy a shower and the most expensive cologne and still say, no thanks, pass, on the sex appeal. So, my main thought is major ugh!!! Or rather, yuck!!!
