« Indiana Jones Rides Again Terminator Salvation - Action or Comedy? »
I’ve been looking forward to the new Bond movie a lot more than any previous Bond film I can remember.
Casino Royal was a total change from the old style and I wanted to see if Daniel Craig’s new Bond would continue in the same gritty and more realistic “Borne” style, fortunatly it has!
There’s no unbelievable, unrealistic super weapons, or gadgets, just Bond’s implacable resolution to get the job done, and he sure does take a beating along the way, although nothing quiet so unpleasant as the torture scene in Casino Royal that made me squirm more than a little…
The movie opens with a fast paced car chase and rolls straight in to a Borne style rooftop chase. The action is fast paced, but still believable, at least compared to previous films.
and of course there’s Olga Kurylenko, who I last saw in Hitman (must watch that again), who brings the required “Bond girl” element to the whole affair.
I like the new style, heck, even my kids like it, especially after some of the silliness in the Brosnan Bond movies.
There’s no unexpected plot twists or real surprises, but there’s plenty of plot threads left for the next movie to follow on, so bring it on!
