Enjoyable, Not Entirely Believable Though

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2006)

I loved the movie, except for some of the violence, much of it I thought unnecessary. I felt that Daniel Craig and Eva Green didn't have much chemistry together, and their romance I certainly didn't find believable. Thought the ending could have been better. But I thought most of the dialog was good, the pace of the movie was good. The opening sequence was a bit long, could have been cut in half by editing and would have improved the story overall. And a few other things here and there, like, Eva Green wasn't really using her vocal instrument. In most of her dialog, she spoke with a raspy, throaty voice, almost like she was whispering. She did have some charisma though; she reminded me a little bit of Bette Davis, both in looks and technique. I wonder if she studied Miss Davis's mannerisms? Judy Dench was great as M, perfect for the role. And Daniel Craig is a hottie.
