Great Film!!! but I Got Strange After taste ......

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2008)

I had a such a opportunity to see this film on Advanced screening presented by Sony last night. There have been very controversial and negative gossips and publicities about this upcoming film ever since Sony pictures announced Daniel Craig for new James Bond. After the screening ended I felt very strange. Well, movie was great. It has great physical actions, less explosions and CGI, and focusing on characters great plots, great lines with surprisingly great delivery. It clearly portraits where James Bond was coming from. So as sake of the criticism of the film, it was darn good film. The movie was darker and more realistic than previous James Bond sequels, besides On her Majesty Secret Service (which is also great film) but those elements made this film great. My cons on this film would be: Daniel Craig's bodybuilders body. I always except old-fashioned hero as James Bond with natural athlete's body. Like Once Sean Connery possessed. And he does not have cookie cutter elegance and charm of Bond. It does not make him a terrible Bond just to be fair. I just didn't like to see James Bond is transforming into something different. Just because of movie got realistic and darker, it lost it's corniness and fantasy aspects of film which is the charm of the franchise, but I think it was inevitable to make this good film. For the best or worst, this franchise has evolved something different, and we all are gonna be judge of this updated Bond franchise..........
