This is a new James Bond. This is not what being James Bond stood for. But I welcome the change.

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2010)

Previous James Bond films we saw:- 1. Over the top villains, having no sane logic or reason as to why they are the villains( recollect Tomorrow never dies) 2. Good Action sequences, particularly in DAD, but most seem unrealistic.(recall The boat on road scene from the beginning of World Is not enough) 3. Bad Story in ALL. No bond film had a good story even casino royale, i may be being just a little bit biased. 4. All Bonds seemed pushovers, one punch could kill them.
This bond movie:- 1. An understandable and hateful villain, that wants money and power and does not have enough already. 2. Realistic plot, a great single twist in the story. 3. Intense action scenes, although some still unrealistic at points. 4. Hard Core fight scenes, Bond seems no pushover, punches feel real, blood feels real, deaths look real. 5. For the first time, the first girl Bond sees in the movie, he doesn't start f#####g her at that very instant.
The last part was the most important change as for me. I am a hardcore action fan, action with some important plot, and i was not able to watch any of the bond films due to the reason stated. Thats why i welcomed the change. Bond girls got a new meaning with this movie. Personally, i thought that bond films were not worth the money. Many people watched Bond Films, many no.......most people watched bond films because of the presence of bond girls, and his scenes with them. Thats why bond was called so great, every girl in the script just fell for him, "look how great he is, he gets all the girls". Goddam it, if you want to watch sex scenes, go to a porno house.
But this movie changes all, and everything Bond has ever stood for. The bond girl, both major and minor ones, have something to do in this movie. The story is great, and compared to past films, the rating goes off the chart. Its the first time such a plot is seen in a bond film, a plot that could be called real, involving lots and lots of bureaucrats, army leaders and black gold. Its not exactly jaw dropping, but highly unexpected.
Action scenes are awesome, realistic and awesome again.... Its a great action film, at par with die hard 4. The beginning action scene is one of the best i have ever seen. And its not another mindless action film, and keeps the action restricted and where its required, in other words, keeps you wanting more but satisfies you..
Bond girls......Like i said they have something to do in the movie. Not just another sex toy for the script. They are an integral part of the action and the story...... and no sex scene........ i think that was a spoiler........ Imagine a bond movie with no s scene, thats exactly what this is.
But this movie wont be able to satisfy most of the hardcore previous bond fans because they would remain sex starved, thats why this movie is so negatively rated. But its not bad, its a great movie, superior to Casino Royale in every way. To the action fans: Its a must watch, its a must own, watch it, enjoy it. A great action thriller 9/10. To the bond fan: Watch it if you can, but will be a waste of time for you.........
