Rich in Action, Poor in plot.

Rating: 6/10 (1 April 2009)

This is one of the most brainless Bond films in a series full of Brainlessness movies. Unfortunately that is saying a lot, as Pierce's last film as Bond was pretty absurd, but in a good way. These films w/Craig seem to be taking themselves more seriously so they in turn they need a little more plot & less fluff. Like others said this is a darker film & it shows. Some say Craig's Bond is just bubbling w/anger, but I saw it as a plain ol' thinly written. Now everyone rages about "Casino Royale" but I never saw it more than a good film & definitely not the best Bond film. This is a decent film & the action sequences are absolutely superb. Unfortunately that doesn't make up for the lack of a story. For those that haven't seen "Royale" or even seen it recently, it would really help seeing that before this. It would help you enjoy this film a lot more. For the die hard Bond fan's this will please you to a certain extent, & for those that don't know the series very well well you will be pleased w/the action to say the least.
