My name is Bourne, Jason Bourne!

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2008)

Reasons why I hated this new Bond movie:
1. Fast-paced editing and shaky cam ruined the elaborate action scenes. Today's cinematography is getting worst. Cut it out please!
2. Alicia Keys and Jack White's "Another Way to Die" is one of the worst and dullest opening theme song ever made for a Bond movie joining the roster of Madonna's "Die Another Day" and Cornell's "You know my Name". Such rubbish!
3. Icons related to Bond were deliberately strip off like the iconic catchphrase "My name is Bond, James Bond". Perhaps the producers were aware that there's an impostor that inhabits this movie. His name is Bourne, Jason Bourne!
5. Director Marc Forster is no good in directing a Bond movie. He just copied the directorial elements of the Bourne franchise. Poor Bond, once a hallmark of a great Hollywood movie now a pure copycat of Bourne. That is show business!
6. With all the violence and gritty realism, I'm aware that this is not a Bond movie. Bond is pure fantasy and the producers should realize that (Remember Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice!). I'm an avid fan of Bond since i was a kid. It allows me to embark into pure fantasies providing an escape hatch from harsh bitter reality we are all living. We all need to escape from today's dismal society where terrorism and world-wide economic instability may ruin our sanity. We all want to be a hero and save the day. But if Bond is living in this kind of gritty realism, do you still want to be Bond?
