Dreadful

Rating: 7/10 (3 January 2009)

A Bond movie without witty humor, without gadget and without class is just another action flick.
And when that action flick feature poorly shot action sequences, and look like it was edited by a five year old on Window Movie maker, it's a bad action flick.
I'm all for bending the rules a little for a certain look and to be experimental and arty, but this goes way beyond that. Bad camera work and bad editing is just that....bad. Maybe it was there to cover up the lack of proper choreography in fight scene, and maybe the budget wasn't all there to film proper car chase. Still, can't argue with the result, and the result is bad.
Too bad, I thought Daniel Craig made a fine James Bond, but he clearly wasn't helped by the poor script, shoddy camera work, vulgar editing and talentless, unimaginative director. Even the music lacked the flair and taste of previous Bond film.
