Very speedy-entertaining action movie, not necessary a genuine Bond movie

Rating: 1/10 (25 April 2007)

Lots of non-Bond features on this one, also many missing gadgets so fans will probably be disappointed somehow but still enjoyable despite some stupid acting scenes. The most important lack of this Bond is the classy-relaxed style which Daniel Craig doesn't have it, probably this was done on purpose to create a new unexplored side of what killer-secret agents should be inside MI6. Overall, I found it more entertaining than the previous Pierce Brosnan era, probably because from action movie one expects more action and less smart talk. We have a flood of this type of movies lately, they try to pass as intelligent but so easily fail. We all agree that James Bond is an intelligent guy and maybe the script could have been improved to show it to us, from time to time Bond looks more like Hulk rather than a subtle agent doing what he knows best. Anyway, don't expect too much, just relax and enjoy, especially check out Bond hunting the black guy at the beginning, it is a thrill. Also special effects are quite good even they never happen in real life and this is neither sci-fi nor Mission Impossible typo where any unthinkable stunt is possible.
