the mindless action is not enough

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 2008)

I was not fond of either TWINE, DAD or Casino Royale so I went to see QOS with some trepidation.
I had some slight hope that we might get something with a Fleming feel as Craig apparently " became" Bond at the end of CR. No such luck, QOS is a generic action movie with nothing memorable about it.
There is a great deal of action but its all somewhat derivative of Bourne.I didn't feel there was any originality in the action or the script.
There is surprising little romance either, although for those females that find Craig deeply unattractive ( like me) that is perhaps not so surprising.
Olga Kurenyo is competent but not very distinctive and Gemma Arterton steals the movie..unfortunately she isn't around for long.
Dame Judi Dench is very good. Title song is excruciating and the score is mixed..at times good at others too high tech and tinny.
Villain is pretty weak and scarcely a formidable enough opponent for 007.
not impressed
