Saw the movie with a girl I know. She apparently has never seen a Bond film before, and in a full theatre asks...
Quote:
Her: "Who does Bond work for?"
Me (as people around us give us strange looks):
That aside, the film was way too action packed. It lacked the moments of subtlety that even the previous film,
Casino Royale, had. There was never really a chance for the viewer to catch his/her breath, and the plot at times was not explained as well as it could have been.
What was the point of Camille? She seemed about as useful as Mary Goodnight in
The Man With The Golden Gun, only her *** didn't accidentally touch the button that destroyed Scaramanga's island base.
This film DID contain the laziest pickup line I've ever heard Bond use:
Bond: "I can't find the um... the stationary. Do you want to help me look?" I liked the fluidity of the film, however. It never felt like it was stumbling or slowing down, and the references to Ken Adam's work (and especially to
Goldfinger) was incredibly welcome and pleasing to the eyes. I like Craig as Bond, and the new M (Yes, she's still the 'new' M to me
). The introduction of the new SPECTRE-esque group was welcome as well, and I hope to see them return in the future. And as noted above...I loved the opera scene as well.
Classic Bond wit and humor.
Now, to wait for it to come out on Blu-Ray and DVD.
