For those of you who have not watch this movie, the following paragraphs are potential spoilers!
This movie was different to the other Bond movies for the following reasons:
1) Daniel Craig is the only blonde Bond,
2) There were no super duper gadgets used by Bond (e.g. laser firing Omega wrist watch, submersible Lotus, cloaking and rocket firing Aston Martin, exploding pen, x-ray sunglasses etc). Except maybe for the on board the car defibrillator. Only James Bond would need such a device in his car. Never mind the rockets and cloaking device but you would never know when you are going to get a heart attack!
3) There was no Q (which probably explains why there were not many gadgets!)
4) No Miss Moneypenny.
5) No super evil mad-man genius who lives in a volcano island surrounded by man-eating hungry sharks and can escape at a moments notice in a space shuttle.
I thought the action sequence of Bond chasing the bomber guy after watching the mongoose and cobra fight was excellent. It was a little like a Jackie Chan fight sequence but done with a lot more style! The bomber guy reminded me of the alien Agent "J" (acted by Will Smith) chased in the movie "Man In Black". This bomber guy (I am sorry I don't know his character name) was super fast and slick! 2 thumbs up for this guy who eventually got shot by Bond.
One last thing I noticed - this James Bond is not so lecherous (or hamsup in Cantonese!) as the other Bonds. He bonked only 1 girl. You can actually count in this movie! I think the actor who played the most lecherous James Bond may just be Roger Moore. Daniel Craig as James Bond seems very focused on his job and no so much on his lecherous ways. Perhaps, he just got promoted (we see Bond promoted to double 0 status in this movie), therefore, he may want to concentrate on getting his job done and not just on getting a blow job. Terrible pun!
Till later...
