007 action now limited to Sony cell phones, GPS, and text messaging

Rating: 5/10 (18 November 2006)

007's opening scenes are always something to look forward to, but I must have blinked with this flick. Where was the spectacular scenery and huge action breath-taker? It just wasn't there.
007 is supposed to be solving global threats. In CR, Bond must win a stinking long POKER GAME? Why didn't he just shoot the wimpy villain in his bleeding eye and just get the thing over with?
The threat is not portrayed. I suppose the terrorists were really bad guys. You'd just have to use your imagination.
The most excitement in Casino Royale is watching people send and receive text messages.
Sony cell phones, Sony laptops. If Sony made autos, Bond would have been driving that instead of that little Ford. What was that? A prequel Pinto? CR's a rolling Sony advertisement by a body-building Bond.
But the reason why there's not much sizzle to the love scenes is that this Bond is surely gay! Really, since his divorce in '94, I'll wager his romances are with the same sex.
