The Bond character was very good. I stil...My take:<br />The Bond character was very good. I still don't understand why he "died" at the beginning, or why he so abruptly returned, though. That portion of the movie felt sloppy. I also never understood why the partner girl, the one who shot him, was in the movie. Yeah, I know, she was there so Bond could have an innuendo laden conversation followed by sex. But that shouldn't be enough. Also, why, given their existing relationship, did she shave him? I have pulled that move, and similar, many times, and it has always wound up with me either shaving myself or having half a beard. Then again, I am not Daniel Craig.<br /><br />I also had some difficulty with the caretaker character, that old guy still living a the estate. He was completely unnecessary, and aside from shooting a gun and making M look completely helpless he does nothing whatsoever for the story.<br /><br />So from a clean writing perspective I would rate this film very poor. But... It's Bond. And I don't need the cleanest writing from Bond. Granted, they did remove the gadgetry that makes Bond so awesome. But on the whole I still enjoyed the movie, and loved some of the character work they did with 007. So I'm a bit torn, but ultimately hae to agree, this was a pretty good movie.SoulTrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583522332267489353noreply@blogger.com
