Where did it go wrong. Well firstly with the crap director, secondly with, in my view, a not very good Bond, Thirdly a awful bloody script and final the worse CGI i think i've ever seen. I love Bond, from growing up to the age i am now i'll always dream of being the super spy. But this nearly killed of my love for the series. I could rant and rant about this dog turd of a movie (invisible car for crying out loud) but not going to, again. But the think is should you buy, cause how ever much i hate it i did. Why, because it's part of a series and if you love Bond you know you have to have the whole collection. So only buy it if you're thinking of getting the whole collection, if not DON'T.
This was the final Bond for Brosnan, and is a huge let down. This movie seems more in line with Roger Moore's efforts. Just when they were making Bond human, they throw all that out of the window, and go for a high camp approach.
The film starts very well with Bond being taken prisoner in north koria, where he is subjected to torture in the opening title sequence. MI6 leave him for dead. Then the film goes off the rails with a face swapping, Ice castle, pratt in a electric suit kind of plot. This is Bond 20 and there are many references to his past glory's.But the biggest insults are the invisible car, and some very bad CGI recriations. Even Halle Berry fails to impress as Jynx. The film is saved by another excellent performance by Brosnan as Bond. and Judi Dench as "M" as you would expect the films action scenes do really impress, If it being the hovercraft chase or the car chace on the frozen lake.
This is a shame as this filmed could have been Brosnans best, as it stands it's just a frustrating mix of all the previouse outings.
This, without doubt is an all time low point in the Bond series. Daft script which sounds as though it was written by a schoolboy and lamentable special effects makes this an insult to the films that preceeded it. Even the theme tune by Madonna is simply ghastly. Brosnan should have been told that there is more to playing Bond that sucking in your cheeks and looking pretty. He looks as tough as Julian Clary. Fleming must be spinning in his grave.
This Lee Tamahori CG visual effects fest is an utter disgrace to the Bond series.
What drugs were the producers on when they selected this useless director (yes I think his other films are rubbish too)? I've grown up with Bond and I love them but this film is complete rubbish, I really thought they've killed Bond here. Ian Fleming and Cubby Broccoli would turn in their graves because of this abomination. Why Lee Tamahori was ever allowed to direct is beyond me but equally the story was too far fetched (a Star Trek cloaking device for an invisible Aston Martin... oh dear). What genre is this supposed to be Lee?
This has 1 star only because 0 was not a choice!
Sorry but whoever wrote the first review is talking nonsence. It's a great film, wth a good plot line and great characters, and the chase with the vanquish on ice is enough to make you squash your face up against the screen to see more of that spectacular car.
Pierce Brosnan rocks as James Bond!
