Die another day because you only live twice and tomorrow never dies
Saw the new Bond film yesterday. Rather than bore you with a synopsis of the film or a poorly writen review, I'll just talk about what I liked and disliked about the movie.
the Good
-Snappy dialogue. The puns and double entendres come hard and fast, much like the super spy himself.
-Nods to the other Bond flicks. The jetpack with Q, Halle Berry's bikini, the Oddjob knockoff. Apperently the director managed to reference the other 19 Bond flicks in this movie. Something for the DVD, I guess.
-A brilliant first half that bucks the 007 conventions.
-Fantastic fights and interesting fights.
-Tony from Grand Theft Auto 3 as the head honcho for the Americans.
-Stylish direction. Jump cuts, slow mo and pixelation. A first in a Bond film, from what I can gather.
the Bad
-The second half of the movie. Bah... what a waste of a setup.
-The shitty cgi snowboarding. Why didn't they get a real snowboarder like the did a surfboarder at the beginning of the film?
The Ugly
-Koreans that undergo surgery to become white? Interesting film plot or a commentary on Asian society. You decide!
-Madonna's song for the movie. I thought that the sound was buggering up, but, alas, it was the song.
