Movie........Bad Movie.

Rating: 2/10 (2 December 2006)

So, this was to be my first ever Bond film I would watch in full length. My dad and I go (my dad is a Bond fan) but we come out totally disappointed.
So there we are, in the cinema and at the beginning I'm thinking "Whoa! This is definitely a movie to buy on DVD' and when the famous barrel gun scene starts I get an adrenaline rush.
After that comes the fight scene on which Bond and a bomb maker are fighting. I wasn't keen on this scene simply because just as the bomb-maker has Bond at gun point there's no bullets in his gun. Typical! Seen it all before, give us a new way to get out of a situation already!
And the bad guy (Le Chaffe, I think) kept reminding me of Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands but I did like how his eye would bleed.
Also, the poker scene. I know how to play poker, I play poker yet I found this scene incredibly boring and felt sorry for the poor souls who had no idea how to play poker. Yes I realise this was a very important part of the film/book but please! Would it have hurt to have it a bit More interesting?
Then later on comes the torture scene, or as I like to call it "Bond gets an itchy testicle scene". This, apart from the beginning, was the most entertaining part of the film.
Then just as I thought the movie was finishing another fight scene happens! So, here we are watching a house taking half an hour to fall down.
Then we have the end - I was happy.
And my dad didn't like the fact there was no gadgets (even though I warned him it was the first Bond novel and were going to be no gadgets).
High points about the movie: First scene Tortue scene Theme song (You know my name)
Low points of the movie: Everything else.
