LUKE That was a deadly, but accurate, kicker you finished your review with. Ouch!

Earlier movies had some of this too but with flair. They were fun. Sureness as there was never any doubt he could kill, maim or survive anything thrown at him.

I've seen the first two of the Craig era, maybe the latest is different but so far it's Bond in name only, Quantum of Solace was sheer dirge and without the Bond name would have gone nowhere. Craig is all body and no pizazz. When I watched QoS a couple of weeks ago there was no tension, no humour and with all of the sureness Craig displayed he might as well have been Robocop or from that other tensionless borefest the Bourne trilogy. ” the cartoony cranked-to-11 codswallop that came to define the Pierce Brosnan Bond era” For you maybe but this camp tongue in cheekness is what’s made the Bond movies for me.

The theme song by Adele has a "we're all in this together" theme to it. Very un-Bond-like and touchy-feely collectivist-sounding, but when the enemy is actually Julian Assange I suppose they want everyone in their tent lest they betray the State's darkest secrets. Like Dianna was killed because she figured out why Charles and Jimmy Savile were best friends. LOL Charles.

Komodo dragons featured in the film were almost as ludicrous. The image of dragons in kimonos is one I’ll be giggling about for ages. Komodo dragons featured in the film were almost as ludicrous.
