I just wanted to rant because I have been looking forward to this new installment in the Bond franchise and it just so happens that It was a terrible disappointment.
1) Not a bond movie - more akin to a Bourne Identity flick. Too much fast cutting and too much action for Bond. Bond is not an action hero, he is James Bond: womanizer (yes), sneak (he is a secret agent), deft (yes), but not a blood-n-guts, in-your-face, guns-a-blazin Rambo type.
2) No Cool Names for bond girls or cheesy sexual innuendo
3) Crappy plot
I could go on but Im making myself more angry so im going to stop there. If you really want to know how I feel, I think it is summed up by these two articles:
Wesley Morris of the Boston Globe
Rodger Ebert - He actually got it right this time!
