Lost all the fun of a James Bond

Rating: 1/10 (24 March 2007)

I have been a James Bond fan for ever and I am now 63 years old. I own each film and have seen them dozens of times. The producers have finally done what I really thought was impossible, they made the worst Bond film ever. It had nothing to do with the actors they did a fine job with the material they had to work with. The director had the intense drive of a Bond movie but that was it. No fun, no tricks, no beyond belief escapes, none of the great stuff a Bond film really is. Not one laugh,must have been uttered in the movie house, I'm sorry I saw it at home and didn't get the reaction of a movie crowd.
I've read some of the comments i.e. "Best Ever" "Greatest Bond Film" and I guess these are from the young generation. It reminded me of the movie of the TV series "Miami Vice" and what they did to the characters of Sonny and Tubs. They "Modernized" them! Studios are loosing the baby boomers with this new overly intense moveie and have taken the "FUN" out of all these characters. I should have looked to see if it was the same studio
I'm sorry for the new generation that they my never see a total film
