My thoughts on the new Bond film

Posted by Sam on 03 Dec 2008 | Tagged as: Media

The good:

  • Complex plot
  • Great action
  • Very up to date bad guys – not an evil organisation as such but a shadowy group of corporate types.
  • Pervasive gadgets (realistic futurism)
  • Subtle eco theme
  • No torture this time
  • No invisible cars

The bad:

  • Didn’t flow quite as well as Casino Royale
  • Some plot stupidities – like when M wanted to bring Bond in she sent a single female agent wearing a raincoat and not a lot else.  Clever.
  • Rubbish theme song
  • Bond does not drink Gordon’s gin and like it.  Worst gin (and product placement) ever.
