Tripe

Rating: 1/10 (31 May 2009)

I have to be honest, I held off on this because I never saw Craig as a Bond figure. Clive Owen would have been my pick. Having just watched it, I have to say this is the most un-Bond movie I have ever seen. No car chases, very few explosions, no gadgets, nothing.
It went on far too long, had too little back story for the baddies and too little action by far. It starts Bond at the beginning of his career, yet talks about 9/11 as a past event. There is no continuity to the rest of the series.
That said, I am now convinced that Craig could do the job as Bond if given a proper Bond role instead of this toned down stuff.
As a stand-alone movie I would give it 7 out of 10, but as a part of the Bond franchise it scores 0.
