Best "Bond" in years...worst Bond script/story in years.

Rating: 1/10 (14 December 2006)

I've been a Bond fan ever since I was a kid...I've seen them all from Sean Connery on...but let's be honest, the last few installments have been pretty hit or miss, so I was thrilled to hear so many good reviews of this new Bond film.
While the new guy is clearly the best Bond in years...decades even, the story and the script were simply terrible. Yes, there were some great action scenes, but they weren't enough to carry the obtuse, poorly written story and that is truly a shame. Had someone bothered to realize that it takes more than simply putting a new face on Bond and losing the more cartoonish elements of previous Bond films to make a decent picture, this could have possibly been the best Bond film in the history of the series. Unfortunately for the cinema going public, this is not the case. Truly tragic.
Oh...and the new Bond villain is a pants wetting uber wuss. Trut so pure.
This and the new Rocky film will probably be icing on the crap cake that has been the 2006 movie season...which, aside from a few good documentaries and a couple of decent offerings, was one of the worst years in film history.
