The Producers Should Read These Reviews

Rating: 2/10 (17 January 2009)

This just was not a Bond film. It was about, as another reviewer wrote, a thug cold-bloodily killing anyone and everyone. Gone is the essence of Bond. Craig does not have the charisma of a Bond. So OK, Casino Royale had the makings of Bond but this movie has abandoned its essential core. I am sure many viewers will lose interest and their loyalty to this series if the producers continue with this awful theme. Surely in this time of greedy multinationals someone could come up with a story about a cabal intending to steal space rights, or asteroid mining deals. I saw many references to the Bourne franchise, which seems to have gotten it right, although the movies bear no relation to the books. Now if they would insist the writers read the actual Bond books maybe we could return to what works.
