Oh what a skyfalling off there was, Horatio

Rating: 4/10 (11 November 2013)

The first Craig/Bond movies were a breathtaking, wonderful departure from the cartoon history which preceded them, where the bad guys were deliberately unbelievable. Suddenly, with Casino Royale, we begin to pull back the veil of a global organization which actually, undeniably exists (google Bilderber Group, the Trilateral Commission). The next movie carried the investigation further, exposing the determination to control the world's water supply. One has only to pick up documentaries such as Blue Gold and Water to realize the truth of these dangers. Then, suddenly, weare back to comic figures--a totally unbelievable character, an embittered ex-agent, who has somehow amassed the money necessary to finance his incredible obsession for revenge against M. What bilge. Give us back the Bond with the courage to engage in real world challenges--not more Batman. The movie world is full to brimming with action packed make-believe cop stories--give us something with credibility in it--or has the Bond franchise been taken over by the organization it was exposing?
