Good and Bad

Rating: 4/10 (21 December 2006)

As i'm sure everyone did, i was greatly looking forward to the release of the new Bond. i have seen it a few times now, and am still not entirely impressed. Daniel Craig and the rest of the cast were fantastic, and i believe Craig will become a great Bond, so long as Bond 22 has more of a story line! Now i know it is the fist Bond, so 007 does not have all the perfected qualities (in fact its great to see Bond cant do everything that is thrown at him!). But... There is still much missing. I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to films like these. Call me a shallow man, but where were the naked women in the opening credits? Where was the action packed car chase? where was the plot??? it seems the film was meant to be 30mins long, but they filled it with pointless fight scenes and shots of half naked Daniel Craig that is somewhat reminiscent of Dr. No.
So to conclude, Daneil Craig was great, and will be better if for Bond 22, they think of a story line. But as far as Casino Royale - This film has lost the Mojo of previous Bond films. It almost seems it's trying to be a action / chick flick and that doesn't work!
