8.0 is totally overrated

Rating: 5/10 (30 November 2006)

I'm not a big Bond fan and i didn't expect much of this movie, but its an OK popcorn action movie. I'm expecting a good story, cool action, new ideas and many surprises of a 8.x movie. This film doesn't justify such a rating.
If you are a Bondfan you'll most likely love or hate this movie. Its a completely other Bond than Brosnan was and many people will say this isn't a Bond but its not a new Bond, its just a completely other Bond than Brosnan was. Personally i like this Bondtype much more than the Brosnan type of Bond. But in the end this in only a composition of old Bond movies. No new ideas in this movie. Bond showing emotions? Already seen in "licence to kill". Bond getting tortured ? already seen in "die another day".
The action scenes are pretty good but not better than in any other A class Actionmovie and especially nothing amazing in times of Mission Impossible 3.
The story is OK but its getting weird from time to time. If you watch the movie carefully you'll even find some logical flaws.
There were also parts in the movie when i felt like at the end of "Lord of the ring 3". You sit in the cinema and ask yourself when its going to end and it goes on and on and on.
If you are a bond-fan go watch it. If you like action-movies, go watch it. If you like popcorn movies without much thinking, go watch it.
If you want anything else, don't wast your time.
I don't think anyone would talk much about this film if it didn't have the "Bond" in the name.
