Bond movie? Really?

Rating: 4/10 (6 November 2008)

OK, so here's the deal: The truth is that the plots of Bond movies are not as they used to be! There were always weird evil plans to destroy or conquer the earth!James Bond had funny gadgets, never got to get extremely tired or beaten, he had sense of humor all the time and he always got the girl(s). That was the "thing" about 007 movies. Now things aren't like that. They became action movies. There are too many of those already to make Bond movies look just an average action movie. The man is not supposed to be John McClane (the guy from die hard for those who don't know). The movie starts with a way to fast to follow car chase, and it quickly shifts to the theme song (sucks BTW) without the typical frame where you see the barrel of a gun following 007 and he shoots the guy and then the song starts. There's some kind of bad guy who's plan is to steel the water from a poor country only to exploit them later. This isn't actually a bad idea. But it's just not written right. It's a story without a storyline. It's terrible. James Bond doesn't even drink martinis (shaken, not stirred) anymore for God sake! He drinks something made out of 3 parts of Gin, 1 of vodka and a long thin band of peeled lemon!! THAT'S JUST NOT JAMES BOND!! What are you thinking Mark Forster, Paul Hagis and Neil Purvis? Are you seriously trying to kill the 007 franchise? It's not Daniel Craig's fault. He acts what he reads, and what he reads isn't good enough. But as much as I like him, he looks more like a bouncer than a gentleman/secret agent... Sorry Daniel... But still, I don't think that it's his fault because he's told to act like that, no smiles, no jokes, no nothing. Sad...
