How Un-Bond can you get?

Rating: 5/10 (27 October 2008)

First I have to say: I LOVED what they did to the franchise - Daniel Craig was the best thing that could've happened to Bond. And "Casino Royale" was a masterpiece.
Well, QoS is not. Saw it today (Pre-Screening), and, as an old Bond-Fan, I'm really disappointed. Not only because everything is missing (from the lines, etc.), but because there's something wrong with the BALANCE here.
A good bond movie is always about keeping the balance (at least I think so) - between action and non-action, and between seriousness and humour.
QoS is far too heavy on the action - and it takes itself far too serious.
As almost everyone else has already mentioned, this is more Jason Bourne than James Bond - not a good thing either.
BUT - it's a damn good action movie. Sadly, not such a good Bond-movie (I don't want to see him drink six drinks and be a wreck, either - but that's another topic altogether).
Anyway: For the great locations, stunts etc. - 6 stars. not more.
