Where did James Bond go?

Rating: 3/10 (21 March 2007)

I am a huge fan of James Bond but this film made me ashamed to be a fan. What happened to the days of Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan when James Bond was a good character with many different levels, not a shoot now, ask questions later attitude.
Daniel Craig acted the role poorly and I think he was wrong for the role. He has neither the look or feel of Bond and the portrayal was poor. I am no fan of Roger Moore but I would watch his version of Bond happily in comparison to this film.
There was no storyline to the film and fifty minutes in I was still begging the question, where is this film going? The characters of M was also poor and completely out of character.
The film took unrealistic to a whole new level. No man can undergo what he underwent in this film and come out barely worse for wear. Also, no man can have his privates whipped numerous times and laugh about it.
In my opinion, this was a poor film and not worth the money I spent on it. I would much rather return to the days of Connery and Brosnan where we got stellar performances, a good story and a deep longing for more Bond.
This film is better suited to the shoot em ups the yanks enjoy and not the subtle espionage films we British like.
