American Hero Bond!!

Rating: 6/10 (10 November 2008)

"Stop getting Bond wrong" cried Steve Coogan in his Alan Partridge days. After watching Quantum of Solace a good deal of us were in agreement with the former Norich radio presenter. Firstly and utmost importance James Bond drinks Vodka Martinis, shaken not stirred, how much did old Gordon give the Bond set? And do all British agents fly Virgin Airways? If so and your wanting a quick revenge, then the stage is set. And gadgets? Where were the gadgets? Austin Martins have been Bonds car well before Daniel Craig was born, why now does he flounce through the desert in a family Ford? The film itself is good, an adventure fight along that travels very fast. But for me, Bond is cheese, pure British Cheddar, giving him an American Hero role loses that touch. And if I'm to finish as our Quantum hero does, I too wont get the girl.
