just another plain and boring action movie

Rating: 4/10 (8 November 2008)

After Casino Royal, which was a quite nice movie in my opinion, I didn't expect much of this movie. However, I still managed to get disappointed. I wanted to see a bond movie, but what I got was a plain boring action movie.
The movie starts with a car chase and already at that point I had a bad feeling. The editing was "agressive" and you saw the thing from many random angels changing all the time.
Mr. Bond's charm is all gone, the character is so lifeless unlike many other bond movies. He doesn't have any cool gadgets like a watch that can control a car or anything, so that aspect of the movie is gone too. It almost seems like the director wanted the film to be too realistic. Also the plot is something that concerns us now a day, which might not be the best idea ever.
And now to the villain. Man he is boring! He is not special in any way, there is nothing to remember about him. He doesn't have a golden gun or sharp iron teeth. I don't even remember a single quote from him.
The always present sex scene is gone. You do see that he is about to do it with Mrs. Fields (which is completely useless for the plot), but the scene is not there. They even cut mr. Bonds most famous quote out "my name is Bond, James Bond" whats up with that!?
So if you want to see a James Bond movie. Don't see this one, because this is just a plain and boring action movie seen 100 times before.
