A well designed Video Game!!!

Rating: 6/10 (22 November 2008)

Bond movies are all about Style, Sex, Jaw Dropping Stunts & lastly a captivating Storyline. The makers seem to have underestimated the necessity of a good clean screenplay. The scenes rush past you and at times it was very difficult to determine what was happening. The movie uses scale and technical grandeur to compensate for the fractured script. The director attempts to salvage the movie by packing in some scintillating but confusing action sequences. The edit points were just too close; would have been better if the scenes were shot with a wider angle.
Non-stop action backed by a decent plot at times makes for an entertaining viewing, but in this case it almost seemed as if I was sitting at my console playing a well designed game  multiple levels, with different villains who are killed off by Bond & Finally leading up to the "Big Villain" at the end.
The characters are all underdeveloped - having no layers, no edge whatsoever. You rarely find yourself sympathizing with any of the characters.
This one just Disappointed........wasted Opportunity!!!
