A couple of days ago I went with Valerie to see the movie in a theater near us, cozy seats, large screen and (loud) surround sound. Not cheap to watch the movie: 60 RMB per person (about € 6).
Valerie had the right verdict: “it just looks like another one of those action movies”. Indeed, what’s the difference with the like of Mission Impossible? The charm and predictability of the REAL Bond movies is gone. Valerie: “he’s not really sexy either”. Can’t fully judge about that but I tend to agree. No more funny gadgets and secret weapons shown at the beginning.
And M is not calling when Bond is busy with a gorgeous girl at the end of the movie.
As a true 007 fan, I’ll stick to my collection of the old Bond movies. Call me old-fashioned – maybe – but it’s not the same anymore. Not the type of movie you want to watch again and again and add to the collection.
