Very disappointed - Not good enough to be a Bond Movie

Rating: 6/10 (30 November 2006)

Most of what I think has been said by others already by the look of it. The opening credits were really lousy - by ANY standards... and so is that bond song - What on earth were these people thinking when they made this Bond movie???? I think Daniel Craig is the worst bond for a very long time - I really watched the film with an open mind - but have to say they have made a huge mistake in casting him as bond. There is something not right about him at all, and it seems to lose everything that was unique and great about bond. In fact, I really think they should bring back Brosnan(!) The movie being set in the present doesn't work at all either - this is meant to be bond becoming a 00 agent. By setting it after the other bond movies, it is effectively saying the other bond movies never happened.
This bond is not suave, sophisticated, or even polite. He should have been cast as a baddie. He has the personality of a plank of driftwood, and is more like a token henchman than anything else.
There weren't many gadgets either, which isn't a good thing - but that's not my main gripe with this movie.
The movie just doesn't work for me. It most certainly isn't worthy of the Bond title...
As a fan of most of the bond movies, I am extremely disappointed - I will not be adding this to my DVD collection.
