Too Politically Corrected

Rating: 5/10 (4 December 2006)

This is the first Bond move I've seen without naked female silhouettes in the opening credits. The leading lady is a complete feminist with a huge chip on her shoulder. The torture scene was a feminist dream come true. No man would ever conceive of whacking a (hunky, nude, attractive to women and gay men) guy's nuts.
They made this movie to appeal to women. I don't go to a James Bond movie to see a chick flick. I could have done without any of the standard chick flick elements... the mental battle of "who's more perceptive", the sappy lines, the male bashing, the discovery of tenderness under a macho male shell. I should have known something was up when they put a Matthew McConaghey preview ahead of it. Did anyone else notice that Barbara Broccoli, not Albert, produced this thing?
