I laughed when he blew up the embassay but it didn't take me out of the film... it was part of the enjoyment. Also that chase scene was a great scene... the guy he was chasing is the originator of those kinds of gymnastic type stunts and it took 3 months to choreograph and film. Sure it was silly... but it was fun.
Follow Ups:
film's producers as well, are arguing that this is a return to a more realistic, more Fleming-esque Bond.
Not.
This film is a bloated whale with no mounting tension. It's a fun film with a teenage sensability: try to have it all. Faster FASTER. Bigger explosions.
Instead of one kind of excess which sank Bond before, we now have another kind.
Pick your poison.
Fun?
Sure.
See Oldboy.
The big payoff scene in this picture is at the card game. Of course there are big stunts chases fight scenes -- it would not be Bond otherwise. However, for the first time in a long time Bond has a character arc, the women are not inept eye candy, the bad guy is not completely idiotic, and Bond is not infallable.With a score of 96% of National film critics who liked the film -- well yeah it probably will tank at the box office and 4% of the critics still didn't like it. However, I can't think of a better Bond film.
game(s) as it's climax... London, we have a problem.
It was not long - and 96% of the professional -- not a hack - didn't seem bothered.
