Here's my condensed review for the ADD society we have become.
What's good about it:.
1. New Q.
2. Ralph Fienes as future new M.
3. Old Aston Martin cameo.
4. Shanghai and Macau scenes photography.
5. Scenic photography of Scotland.
6. Nice London tube scenes and stunts.
7. Honest portrayal of UK weather.
8. Half decent motorbike chase at beginning.
9. Good music.
What's bad about it:.
1. Ridiculous Villain (acting, makeup, you name it).
2. Too serious, not enough fun.
3. Nothing we haven't seen before happens.
4. No decent cars or gadgets.
5. This Bond is looking too old already, never liked him anyway.
6. Bond girls were super average.
7. Villain had no decent evil plan.
Overall pretty unsatisfying, which has pretty much been the case since Craig took over the role.
I'm sure it'll still make baskets of money though.
Mission Impossible 4 was a way better "Bond movie" in every way.
For the next one how about:.
1. Clive Owen as 007 (which he has always wanted).
2. Mark Strong as the evil villain.
3. Spielberg to direct (which he wanted in the past).
4. Aaron Sorkin for the screenplay.
5. Emily Browning (tarted up like Sucker Punch) as the bond girl.
Now that's something I would pay to see. :-)
