This is not good!

Rating: 3/10 (28 August 2009)

Craig is too plain. He's acting with the same face expression through the whole movie. What we got here is one long explosion of fast cuts. Even the dialogue is cut like it was a car chase. Where is the story? It is so thin that you can see right through it right away. The action scenes are generally okay, even if the cutting pace would have benefited on being slower and the camera shots wider so the viewer could grasp everything that's happening. What's the point of cool action if you can't see what's happening?
Olga Kurylenko is a good bond chick, good looking with an exotic touch. But where's John Cleese and his gadgets.? I miss the bickering with Moneypenny and the humor. A lot of the magic is gone and Bond has just become an ordinary action guy. I can understand that the writers wanted to modernize Bond, but this is gruesome.
