Marc Forster please go back to directing drama!

Rating: 4/10 (15 November 2008)

Daniel Craig is still one of my favorite Bonds. This is where the good ends. On a more sour note, Marc Forester has stripped everything from the movie that made it a Bond film, and turned it into some generic piece of action crap. Furthermore, any of the fight scenes or sweet car chases that may have added good action to the film where destroyed by Forester's horrible editing direction; I could not tell what the hell was going on! I have a possible theory for this. Perhaps, being that it was his action debut, Forster turned to the guidance of the recently celebrated Bourne trilogy. The last two films of the trilogy, supremacy and ultimatum, are directed by Paul Greengrass. These two films are noted for their very rough and fast cut action sequences, and in fact, won several awards for their sound and editing, including three Oscars. Maybe Forester though he would be trendy and try his hand at this style. The difference here of course, is that Greengrass is brilliant at this and Forster totally sucks at it. Marc Forster, please don't sully the good thing that Casino Royale began with any more of your bad directing. Give us back Martin Cambell.
