Firstly, I am going to state outright that I am not the biggest fan of the Bond films (I know a lot my loyal readers will gasp at this comment) but for some reason it has never really rocked my boat. I am partial to the ones starring Sean Connery as I feel he epitomises the real action man! He is charming and suave as well as being a believable tough guy!
However I have never found the more recent ones (starring Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig) to be that thrilling. To be honest I prefer Pierce (look at me on first name basis like I know the guy), as at least I can see what would attract the ladies to him but Daniel Craig....really? I literally can only think they chose him for the role because he comes across as tough with a good set of abs. I know I will get some kind of backlash for this but I just don't like him as Bond...I find him boring, barely charming and just a drip.
Back to the actual film, I did like the action sequences but I found it a little bit long winded. It seemed to last for a Century and I found myself getting a bit confused (and a little sleepy). I also found out consequently that this film has been rated 2nd in the 2012 Movie Releases with the most mistakes (moviemistakes.com) with a total of 35 errors ... no wonder I was confused!
If you are a lover of the Bond franchise then of course, you have to see the 23rd instalment but for me, it is a little bit overly stretched now!
