Disjointed Bond

Rating: 4/10 (22 March 2007)

I have just watched this, the latest James Bond and it's disjointed. The plot is meant to show James Bond starting out on his career as a double 0 agent! Yet it's set in the present with the odd throw back to earlier Bond films.
Daniel Craig does not look like a James Bond, he looks like a small time thug in a dinner suit, in which he also looks out of place.
Eva Green is not a Bond Girl, she looks like the girl next door. She scrubs up well but she is not a Bond Girl.
The plot is something and nothing. In previous Bond films there has been a real threat to the world. In this we have someone who acts as a banker to terrorists, who gambles with their money and looses! We have a short chase in the Aston Martin and a pipe roll, no real excitement. To much chat and not enough action, it looks as if the producers and director have lost their way.
When I watch a film I want to be drawn into the action, to be immersed, to come out at the end feeling drained.
During this offering I continually found the plot holes jarred and were very annoying, there is no hook to draw you in, to get you involved. Shoot outs, explosions, and a naff bit of CG of a building falling down do not make a good Bond film.
