Good but Not a Bond film

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2006)

-possible spoilers- I went in expecting a continuation from the last few Bonds just with a new James Bond. The film was great, acting above par for an action film, action sequences perfect but it lacked the James Bond edge and not to the fault of Daniel Craig either who stepped in perfectly. It was in the script rather that they messed with the three key elements that create a Bond film: Bond willing to give up his job, no action sequences covered by the Bond Theme, and it's left open to continuation unlike the others. So definitely worth the ticket and your time if you're a fan of the past films in the franchise don't expect the same Bondesque qualities
