Bond is boring

For as many years as I can remember I have always looked forward to going to see a brand new James Bond movie. I don't think there is a single one that I have missed. With a brand new actor premiering as Bond, I was keen to go along and check it out. My honest opinion. It was terribly boring. It was a long film and I found myself constantly looking at my watch to see how much longer we had to sit there. The action stunts were there a plenty, but the story was dull and predictable at every turn. The sequences in the film were long and drawn out and the new actor never convinced me for a moment that he was James Bond. I heard that in the States the movie got out done by the dancing penguin film. After seeing Bond and watching the shorts of the penguin film at the start, I'm not surprised.

    Hmm, that's interesting - aside from too much violence, I quite enjoyed it. Everyone I talked to loved it too, so who knows :).

    Hi Larry,

    Either you never got my emails, or you wish to be silent. Its good to hear you are doing well in Tasmania.

    Larry, when the photo first flashed up on my screen, I thought you'd had a makeover! Sounds like one worth missing - thanks for the review (maybe another blog idea?).

    Can't agree Larry. Saw it and loved it. Daniel Craig is the best bond that I've seen in my lifetime. Much more believable than the current bunch on pretty boys that they've had.
