I want Brosnan back... :(

Rating: 1/10 (15 December 2008)

Reading thru all the comments about this movie, I find myself nodding and saying things like "Yes!" and "Xactly!" out loud, agreeing to every single (negative) post.
I, too, have to admit that a resemblance to the Bourne-Series can not be overlooked here. I, too, think that the directing of this movie is not the worst I've ever seen, but certainly within the top worst 10 of mine.
U guys r right about the loss of character, smartness, humor, storyline, feel, look, acting, "real" villain, M, Q!, gadgets, SOUNDTRACK!!!, opening sequence, one liners, cars ... oh god, I can go on for ever.
There is action, indeed, -loads! But what kind of action??? Certainly it is not Bond-Action we r used to - it is Bourne-Action: fast, deadly and killer-like. Where is the superhuman-like easiness of fighting? The clever and funny comments and one-liners (after "seemingly accidentally" killing someone)? And above all, where is the character?
Sean Connery, Brosnan, even Moore were "real" Bonds - with that special treat of character, smartness, fun and most important, depth, to them - that is ENTIRELY gone now.
Oh...and what ever happened to the skiing we r used to in Bond movies anyway? Didn't it used to be on land, on the water, under water, in snow, in space? Whats happening???
During the opening scene I actually thought I got the wrong movie playing in front of me. I got so annoyed with the music, I honestly considered walking out (-compare that to Golden Eye or Die Another Day).
Cute but shallow, boring women, a villain that seems to simply be bored most of the time and thinks up things to do...where did the earth- and country destroying people go?
It seemed as if they brought back characters from Casino Royale only as hole fillers that extend the running time of the movie (think of the airplane scene of the villain/Cia-guys).
I used to LOVE Bond movies! Even Casino Royale I liked (yes, only liked) after watching it and Craig actually gave us a decent Bond there - but this is by far the worst, lamest, terrible Bond ever made and not worth watching.
I will wait for the next Bond to make it on to the big screen - if it is as bad as this one (or worse) I will seriously cry about the loss. Until then I'll be watching the preceding movies I guess...
