Not bad, but more Mission Impossible than Bond

Rating: 6/10 (10 January 2007)

This movie is a good entertaining action film.
The drawbacks i found were that it in trying to revert back to old school and move away from the CGI stuff they have gone to the other extreme and made Bond resemble more Tom Cruise in the MI movies or any other nondescript spy agent - what makes Bond Bond, is gone in this film. Also the basic storyline which i think is quite clever, is not taken advantage of as many of the supporting characters especially the bad guys are not explained properly and you only get a superficial sense of them - no reason as to why they are there or why they are doing what they are doing.
Otherwise this is a fun movie and worth going if you have time (as it is long) to spend and love non-stop action. Daniel Craig is a good actor and does this part fairly well, but just as Timothy Dalton does not encapsulate the character of Bond.
