Overall... a disappointment.

Rating: 6/10 (24 February 2007)

I was not one of the Bond fans who went into the movie with a poor attitude just because they switched actors. I was reserving judgment on Craig and actually had high hopes for the film. It started off pretty well and I was into it but by the second half I couldn't wait to get out of the theater; the plot just became really screwed up (Who the hell is Mr. White working for and what were his stakes?) and the girl became a bitch. In the end, it never really felt like a Bond movie. I know they were trying to reinvent him, but they should have taken out the bad and left the good instead of the opposite. Bond just isn't as slick as he used to be (except when he put the bomb on that guy, causing him to blow himself up). Also, where is the old Bond music? This new stuff is not noticeable and doesn't add anything to the movie. It wasn't Craig's performance that killed the movie, but a lack familiarity which we can always associate with James Bond.
