This one - ...I thought <i>Casino Royale</i> was excellent. This one - you hit it on the head with the personal-revenge angle, Willow. It was practically a remake of <i>License to Kill</i>, wherein Dalton's Bond gets all up close and personal-vendetta on some drug trafficker. Seriously. A <i>drug trafficker</i>? James <i>Bond?</i> <br /><br />But compared to this one, though...here, what even <i>was</i> the bad guy - a <i>water trafficker</i>? <br /><br />I admit, I didn't dislike the film as much as many of you here. I enjoyed it as it was going on. But I kept expecting it to pull together and make at least a lick or two of sense, or at least muster a game attempt. So as it started wrapping itself up in serene disregard of doing do, I frowned a bit, and I was a bit miffed on the way out. <br /><br />Fave Bond film: <i>From Russia with Love.</i>dogimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01278980067086209626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-30560903293530002332010-05-13T00:13:20.771-04:002010-05-13T00:13:20.771-04:00I concur.
