and i thought i was the only one pulling the keyword in comments section trick. Lol.
Its just that the world has changed , in a nutshell we all know those poor terrorists are getting their nuts cracked over at guatanamo. Sick* and to have some gadget movie running around the screens might not be too of a bright idea.
You aint gonna beleive this but i hated the intro. Jack could have used a better voice. I love alicia keys but this aint her fight. Maybe christina.. now that would have been something.

I disagree with you on this one on a couple points. I’m an avid bond fan as well, and I’ve seen each movie at least 25 times (I own them all, including the 1950’s american bond where he’s a cia agent, and the spoof from the 60’s as well). On her majesty’s secret service, while “sub par” because it didn’t have Connery (or Moore depending on who you fancy), but it actually had a very good story line and was one of the better bond films in that aspect. I do agree with you on octopussy though, that one - not so hot.

Now, on to the new film. I saw this one a couple weeks ago (a shitty TS mind you) but I thought it was quite good. I read that the angle for this film was “revenge” and they even summed it up at the end about his “revenge” is over now - I believe they will continue to be “Gritty” films like the last one, and this one was. But they will get back into the gadgetry and the classic “oh bond..” lines that make the movies so great. They have to, otherwise they’ve lost it entirely and will lose a huge fanbase (anyone 25 years and older).

This one was a little like the Bourne franchise, but, that’s what today’s audience expects, fast, quick camera cuts, etc. We all have ADD so I guess it makes sense.

I too was very disappointed in the introduction of the movie that there wasn’t a proper bond theme. Not to mention the fact that they broke all the rules and showed scenes from within the movie and not just hot naked silouette girls floating around with lava lamps.

I’d give it a 6.5/10 just because of the intro, and missing gadgets/theme song usage and classic bond humor, but if I didn’t care about that, probably a 8.5/10.

Paul greengrass is quiet a radical filmmaker and a guy who appreciates intelligence in the real world. The words “this is real, this guys will kill you” is one of the better lines i have ever heard in a movie - when bourne is talking to that reporter dude.
If you havent watched bloodysunday, by god you are missing out lol. I cant wait for the next latin based, brazil shot bourne.

Yeah saw it in Paris earlier this month and gotta say that I was disappointed with the ending — it could have been much better. However, I did enjoy the action sequence.

It was a bad copy of the Bourne movies - the scene in the train station of the last one was one of the best movie scenes I think I have ever seen.

I would have been fine with something as well done as the Bourne movies - this was just junk!

Its not that bad, its by a new director, its going to be different - it was still a 7/10 for me.

They did try to immatate bourne, something they should never have done with bond :/
