Cool agent - boring plot

Rating: 6/10 (25 November 2006)

Daniel Craig was an excellent choice for the character. A very good actor and with a cool brutal look. He fits the role perfectly, although a bit more sophistication would be beneficial.
But the plot - which is to stop some African war lords from getting USD 100 million of their own money back - is too simple, too ordinary and too boring for a Bond movie. The villain's plot should be Earth encompassing and psychotic like in the older movies. And even though it was nice with so little (no?) CGA, a Bond movie must have more gadgets and crazy situations - like M having an office in an Egyptian temple or a wrecked cruise ship - and car, boat or ski chases. Although it shouldn't get so stupid as in Die Another Day a bit more imagination in the next one would be nice!!
