The end of an era - Bond is dead, "short live" whoever this guy is

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2007)

This movie is truly about the feminization and sensitizing of Bond. I know most of us have waited all our lives for the day Bond will get in touch with his inner woman and proclaim his love for a woman while M will get all choked up and say "She counted on you being you" (Sob!) It sure does bring tears to my eyes. Of course these tears are tears of anguish. Is there nothing that will not be feminized? The Bond genre has always been simple. Bond has lots of fun gadgets, hot women & smart lines. He drops all of them all over the place because he's always got more. He never falls in love with any of them. He hardly ever makes mistakes and he never bleeds.
This movie goes against the grain of everything Bond is. It is a good movie but it is not a James Bond film. So if you feel like watching a fun flick about a touchy-feely British secret service guy playing poker watch this film. If you were waiting to watch "the next Bond movie" like me you will need to continue to wait.
And wait you will, perhaps for a very long time until these producers/studios lose enough money to realize that this is not what their audience wants....
