What Happened to James Bond?

Ok so it was Christmas here in Hong Kong yesterday so what better way to celebrate than to catch a movie right? So I've heard some good things about the new James Bond so we went to catch the show.

Well, just to let you know this movie is supposed to take place at a time when James first becomes a "Double O" status agent. So this means he is a bit gruff and a rookie.

The movie itself was ok but lemme tell you: it wasn't a James Bond movie.

The flick was violent, loud, and brutal. It was a real shame too because the production values were high, the acting was alright, the visuals were goegeous, and Daniel Craig kinda looked like a James Bond. But the important element was missing: Style.

This Bond was all about punching people but lacked charm and humour. No sophistication. Holy crap! At one point in the movie I spotted him driving a Ford! A Ford! JAMES BOND DOES NOT DRIVE A FORD!

I also spotted him catching cabs and taking change I think. Not surprising since the British Secret Service was broke ass in this movie and needed a loan from the CIA.

I hope the next movie is better. I'll give Craig another chance to go from Jimmy to James.
