Not a real Bond film

Rating: 1/10 (23 February 2008)

I just watched this movie again, this time with my 14 year old son who is a James Bond nut, he likes them better than I do. He was lost, he could not understand how it could be modern day and Bond just got to be a 00. I told him this was supposed to be like the very first book, but then he read the book and said that the time is wrong, the date he meant, it is supposed to be 1958 or 57 and that for it to be the start it should have a male "M" a completely different game to play and there are no such things as computers like that in 1957, he stopped watching about half way through and told me the new die hard film was better, went to film collection we have and got "Thunderball", put it in and said, now here is a real James Bond movie. I have to say that film has action, but as far as a "Official James Bond film from EON" I would have to say the 1967 unofficial David Niven and Peter Sellers film was much better. Sorry Cubby Broccoli, they ruined your franchise. I guess that we might have to wait another ten years for a good Bond film again. And to see that the new film, Bond 22, is going to be just another action flick like this one tells me that there are no real Bond fans anymore. Too bad.
