Bond, James Bond
Whee! Just went out and caught the latest Bond movie. Daniel Craig, surprisingly, comes off as quite a refreshing change to the franchise, although a little too brooding and moody at times. However, this show is a little too “lovey dovey” (as the wife puts it), but I suppose that since this is supposed to be the “pre-quel” that shows 007’s begginings, it’s only normal to show his “sensitive” side just this once….?
Bad Point:
Like, where are the toys, man? Where’s Q? What’s a Bond movie without the fancy gadgets? All we got to see was a tagging chip like we put in dogs, an Aston Martin with some extra drawers (that got smashed up because he was trying to aviod the girl), and a tiny defibrillator. That’s it.
Final Verdict: 3.5 Stars

Hehe, I thought the makers were trying to make Bond more human this time - for once he lets someone in.. Then again, as you say it’s his beginning, so maybe that’s why he never lets anyone in again. And also, he’s less than perfect, as the opening scene shows.. Perhaps trying to get him a human element with some realisticness for once.. =/ And them gadgets can’t trump Gadget Boy’s, so maybe they gave up. =D =D =D
