Not Bond

Rating: 4/10 (19 November 2008)

I feel that this film missed the mark. Bond had none of the larger then life breaks and stunts which is what sets Bond apart from a run of the mill spy action flick. It also lacked the class and sophistication of the previous Bond films. It appeared to try to do these things but there was either too much action, or not the right kind of directing, which made it seem to me like a television movie soon forgotten. However the previous film did get it, so I don't know if it was the directing or actors. You need to really understand the Bond character to make a Bond film work, no amount of impressive stunts or explosions will make up for it.
