Long Live James Bond, The King is Dead

Rating: 1/10 (8 April 2009)

I suppose that some posters don't know that Ian Fleming put his own exploits into his novels which were bought to the screen, TV and later introduced Sean Connery who at once became the epitome of James Bond, 007. Well, as we know that was some time ago and now the James Bond series is the most profitable in screen history. Once upon a time we looked at Bond as being the cooliest man to grace the screen. He was handsome, smart, intelligent, was authorized to carry a gun and the women simply dropped their knickers when he looked their way or just said his name. O K, now we come to this latest Bond outing Quantum of Solace a film that was not thought out and was completely messed up by the director and his second team. The plot was just too hard to follow and make matters worse, you didn't even care. All we saw was countless chase sequences that were too violent to be real, Judy Dench looking her age and saying stupid things and Daniel Craig looking like a hunk that you took home on Saturday night and certainly not like James Bond. All in all, I was very disappointed in this outing and hope and pray that the producers go back to the drawing board and give us a worthy Bond movie. This one stunk!
