In Reply to: LOL! Well, I guess that you were shaken, but not stirred by the new Bond film. posted by Audiophilander on November 21, 2006 at 17:16:59:
Bond shoots compressed tanks.
They (the three Hemingways) couldn't envision another scenario?
But really, no one, including me, went into the theater expecting high art. I just wanted a pulse-pounding, inventive, couple of hour entertainment.
What I got was the most prosaic of Bond films, location-wise. Not unexpectedly, since the entire budget must have gone to endless chase scenes and special effects.
Not only that, the action sequences showed no ability to BUILD tension. One example: after that ludicrously long up the crane, down the crane near opening scene, we end up at the embassy. Believable that James could tear around it so easily? Shoot it up with his pea-shooter facing several dozen guys with AUTOMATIC rifles? One word: Mogadishu. Third-world guys can shoot, too.
At some point, Connery's Bond has deteriorated into fantasy. I don't recall having completely to suspend belief in ANY of his films.
Craig is 007 Spiderman or Batman, Rambo or Schawartzie.
He ain't flesh and blood and more's the pity.
