This is not a James Bond movie

Rating: 2/10 (28 June 2007)

Now, with Daniel Craig as Bond, James Bond, we are able to see how he fights with a terrorist banker. This time, Bond is more violent as usual (Brosnan refinement is dead) and it has lost all his charisma. Craig (at least in this film) is not Bond, he reminds more the anonymous character of "Transporter" rather than Bond. In addition, Bond, must be a man of action, I can understand spending one hour in a poker match (well, it is well told) but, a Bond movie must end with lots of fireworks, not with about one hour of nothing. I think Daniel Craig can be more brutal way of seeing Bond, but the script of the film was not well done. There is no charismatic villain, it is much longer that it should be, as the ending is never-ending. In addition, there's no feminine erotic views, only Craig in shorts (what is Bond without bond-girls?) in order to make girls happier... It is not that it is an awful movie (it could be much better if shorter, but is viewable), it's the fact that it is not a Bond's movie, just an action one. If you're a purist, probably you'll hate it, if not, it is just a bad movie.
