You know there's something wrong when Judi Dench is the hottest girl in a movie...
Only gets three stars! The story never quite developed. Too much action not enough plot. Felt like I was watching the Bourne series not Bond. It is a let down from Casino Royale.
I have a "measure of sympathy" for those who go to watch this with a measure of expectation to see a legitimate bond story plot. The plot is there, the audience just can't completely understand it because they are left with so many unanswered questions and assumptions and inferences needing to be made. From the point of view of the franchise, this needs to happen because otherwise the secret "Quantum" society would become S.P.E.C.T.R.E., and James Bond would grow up too quickly, and become smoothe, suave, still rogue Sean Connery in the first movie Goldfinger and Pearce would need to be hired back. In the line of ranking of fine Bond performances under Connery and Brosnan, Craig does fine- s
Good action .... the rest was dissapointing. the old lady has got to go.
Suneagle's Review; 3*stars...Thier's alot of mixed reviews about this movie but I'll lay it on the table for you. This movie needed an experienced action director not one that did mostly drama's.. What they wanted was better acting an a plot but what they got instead was Jerky can't tell music video shot action scenes that were so shaky at times I just stoped watching so I would'nt throw up!. The acting in the end was still 2-5 stars & they rushed all the potential scenes..ALSO NOT ENOUGH HAND TO HAND FIGHTING?!?! Sadly this movie lost it's luster & thier is no "Unforgetable Scenes" that will bring you back to watch it again..:( Lots of action but at what cost u can't tell what's going on. B
Is it just me or are the bond movies ripping off the Bourne movies? It's like they watched the Bourne films and pasted the fight scenes into the last 2 Bond flicks. Either way good movie but Bourne is better and has a better storyline.
The action was ok way to copie gave me a headache the main story was pretty good but he forgot about some bad guys during the movie Casino Royal was alot better... i hope because of the end there is another 007 movie
it was agreat movie lots of action, chases, fights but it was too short
okay, but there was really no big plot like T The Dark Knight
weird 007 movie, but well worth seeing.
What happened to James Bond? Barely any car chases, no sweet gadgets... This movie has gone to the toilets.
No gadgets...no Q...bonds boss taking a bath...choppy action...no plot...give me Goldeneye anytime
i love the movie....
I liked this movie for a few reasons. One, its my first bond movie. I could not stand the old ones. Why should there be a man who is the terrestrial Captain Kirk, with woman who are vapid dominatricies? And what is with the oil all over Connery? The acting was solid, the plot existed, there was action for the 4year old men in 40 year old bodies. Basically, if you've watched Indiana Jones, X-files, and so many other films this summer, the bar had been set so low that the only way to go from there was up. Yes, it may have been setting up another sequel. So what? As long as they can do better than the Pirates of the Carribean franchise, they'll definately get my 10 bucks.
Not since Timothy Dalton played Bond, has there been a 007 film this poor. The action is scatter shot, the story is piss-poor, and the villian is just pathetic. Here's hoping the next 007 film gets back to telling a story!
Casino Royale was much better, the intro music was average, no Q and gadgets, no fancy cars, no poker, villian was avg with no noticable traits like bleeding from the eyes/bullet lodged in head, bond never was in danger and just didn't deliver what I come to expect after watching casino royale. Hope the next one will have a nuclear threat, some fancy gadgets, better plot and villians. They could have done so much more with this one, instead of a follow up to Casino Royale, a higher stake plot and chance to develop this version of bond more. Also very dissapointed there was no star trek full trailer as promised attached, 2/5
Great movie, aother for collection. What I didn't like was what other mentioned, 24/7 killing, not a lot of talking, bond is constantly covered in blood, he's not smooth as his predecessors, actions are shot too fast maiking it hard to figure out who does what. But still worth watching, u learn on mistakes.
I'm a fan of 007 but this 1 is a piece of garbage
I enjoyed the movie just for Craig and Dench, however, I do agree with many of the previous comments about the action sequences being edited very "tight" and not sure who did what to whom. It is good fune however and if you are a Bond fan go see it. 3 stars.
Daniel Craig is the best James Bond since Sean Connery. Great movie and lots of action.
Usually there's a bit of dialog in bond film, this one not so much.
Must see for Bond fans! Non-stop action! If you can, re-watch Casino Royale - it's a continuation. Daniel Craig portrayal is excellent.
I didnt like 2 things about this. for one this is not what bond is supposed to be. Daniel Craig is not smooth, he is not suave, he has no class and he doesn't seem to be intelligent like a James Bond should be. not saying this is the fault of the actor himself but perhaps the director. also this one had no plot. In my opinion it's more fun to have a plot that is unrealistic but interesting and engaging than one that could be real but is lame and boring. this is not what bond should be. the next one really needs to be better in both those catagories.
A solid 3.5 stars, had fantastic action as we have come to expect from James Bond however this one had a complete lack of any sort of engaging plot good popcorn flick but dont set your hopes too high. Id say its worth a watch on the big screen just because there is amazing action sequences throughout.
very disapointing! Daniel Craig was great, but even he could only do so much with a bad script
worst bond movie ive seen. honestly
Fantastic movie, the Bond franchise is in very good hands. Daniel craig is by far the best Bond since Connery.
Definitely an action movie, not a suave sexy spy movie. Fortunately I like both and I loved this film.
Excellent action ; but plot was there; just not clearly stated enough. Bond was more brtual than clever; except for one "escape"... I think they were deliberately vague here on the plot to setup the next Bond film...
Best James Bond Movie Ever!!! Better Than Casino Royal! A Must See For All Bond Fans!
This movie was awesome
Mixed feelings. I liked it, but it was not as good as Casino Royale. Action sequences were spot on, but too short. The car chase had so much potential, but being so short felt more along the lines of a movie teaser. The woman (Olga_ is a hotty for sure, but she doesn't really fit into the story. Daniel Craig is awesome, following up solidly from the Royal. My only real beef is in regards to unrealistic action scenes. The Bourne flicks in my opinion are better movies as they are more believable. All these movies are unrealistic, but that is part of the fun. Bourne pulls it off, Bind is getting silly again.
This was the best movie I have ever seen! Ever!!! The middle get little slow, but is necessary for the plot development, so I don't mind. Great performance all around, I really cared about the characters in this action/revenge movie. Stop reading this and go see it!!!!!
i am sorry...but this was terrible. They have succumbed to the action hero era...vs the true, suave, spy that is BOND !! This is the beginning of the end of BOND unless they smarten up...quickly.
This movie is awesome. Different and not quite as good as Casino Royale. They have definitely made Bond like Bourne. no cheesy lines, lots of action and this one is all about revenge.
Daniel Graig is the best Bond yet, good action movie.....liked it very much...can't wait for the next one.
Daniel Craig is great as Bond. It's good to finally have James Bond The Action Hero, and not James Bond the man-slut... No boring parts. Just a great action movie and an excellent Bond film.
Amazing action - did not dissapoint!
I thought the action sequences were way too choppy and fast. It was almost like the director was covering up for bad shots and created an almost strobe light like affect. The dialogue was often difficult to hear due to the soundtrack or movie background noise covering it up.
Wow! Daniel Craig yet the best bond ever! great stunts. must watch. great performance by Olga K. HOT!
Thought that it was great. Lots of action and thrilling moments. Loved the performance of Judi Dench.
this was one SOLID action movie...right from the top it gets the adrenalin pumping and doesn't stop till the credits roll...winner!
Not nearly up to par, in terms of a Bond flick. Not enough sexy cars, Bond humour, gadgets or shirtless Daniel Craig, and with a poor plotline. As a Bond fan, I was disappointed in this, Casino Royale was much better. I think Craig makes a good Bond, but this movie was a fail.
Good action, but it felt like the second movie of a trilogy.
It was not the best Bond. The bad guy wasn’t very interesting or scary and the girls were rather ordinary. I also didn’t like the way the chase scenes were filmed/cut. Way too choppy and was giving me a headache.
If you like Bond films you'll like this one.
Action packed, definitely a revenge film. Check out the first one before you venture out to see this one.
Okay if you like action movies. Disappointing if you like Casino Royale.
BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!
Excellent. Delivers exactly what bond should; a rival for the Bourne franchise.
