And this is supposed to be James Bond?

Rating: 5/10 (12 January 2009)

This is the first Bond movie I just couldn't watch to the end without pressing FF (fast forward) button. I mean, what happened with all those great Bonds we had chance to watch in the previous century? This one is nothing compared to them.
First of all, there is no intelligent script. I mean, there practically is no plot. The whole movie is about Bond jumping around, beating and killing everyone who gets in his way. I don't know, maybe Forster, Haggis, Craig and others met one day at lunch and one of them said: " Hey guys, I don't have anything smart to do next 2 or 3 weeks. What about you? We could make another Bond movie, shall we? " And they did it.
When I saw Casino Royale I wasn't very impressed, but it was one very good Bond because it had almost everything this one doesn't. Above all, Craig proved he was very good choice for Bond. In this sequel he is good too. But everything else isn't. It's just another unoriginal big budget action movie with some great action scenes. Even Craig can't do anything to make this mess looks better. And I really don't understand how can this movie be so highly rated. Is today a few good action scenes really enough to make a good movie? Hell, looks like it really is.
So, if you are looking for some good action movie, I strongly suggest you watch something else ( I believe Taken would be a great choice). After this, I will strongly consider watching the next Bond movie.
