Review of the film

Rating: 3/10 (31 October 2008)

Don't be shocked about the low score, I will explain.
The start opens with a great car chase as you would expect from a Bond film. But that's were it lost us. The cinema was packed with confused faces at the intro theme music and starting credits, it just wasn't Bond.
Later in the film, while wondering why you paid £7.50 to get in, your thrown into a scene with great stunts, but... you cant see it. Even though there are 16+ cameras filming, they are flying all over the place so much its hard for your eyes to focus on what's happening, and find yourself looking away.
The storyline was weak, and you could tell this from the acting of Daniel Craig and Judi Dench. The storyline was so bad you could tell they struggled to hold it together. But full credit to them, without them it would have fallen apart.
If you loved Casino Royale don't go and see this film, it will shatter your bond film dreams.
Even the 'bad' guy wasn't great... all he did was do wide eyed looks at the camera.
All in all this was the worst Bond film for a long time, and I think its partly to blame on the storyline and direction of the film. To think this film was directed by the same person who made the borne movies you will see why this film was an obvious stunt to show how much he didn't want to create something better.
I love Bond films and I hope this isn't the death nail for such a great character.
