No, It was more James Bland than James Bond. Where's the plot?

-=Warning=- -=Film spoiler=- Don't read if you've not seen the film yet and want to!

Well, I saw this today and I'm a little disappointed! I left feeling a bit cheated - 1 hour 40 minutes just wasn't enough and the plot was a little thin. I did enjoy the film and the action was very good but I feel a bit cheated. It really ought to have been called James Bond - Casino Royale Part 2!

Who else feels this way?

And to keep it photography related :p ...
Did you see him taking the photos in the theatre on his phone cam? Bloody good technology that! It made me chuckle a bit - awesome zoom capability - head shots from across a large theatre and awesome resolution in low light. Who needs DSLR's?! :confused:

There was no real story. It was all about whether Bond was a good guy or a bad guy. There wasn't really any progression throughout the film, and then it just sort of ended. It's like they tried to copy the Bourne films, without really understanding why the Bourne films are so great.

We don't have it here just yet, but from what I've heard it's been less than stellar :cry:

I still like Goldeneye the best

I enjoyed the action and SFX very much, but agree that the plot was a little thin on the ground .... quite hard to follow at times too ....

Still, good fun really, and I SO want one of those camera phones!! :lol:
