the world is not enough
another bland movie. some nice moments (i.e. explosions), but somehow the cheeky wordplay failed to overly amuse me this time. plus, i couldn’t find myself really getting into the bad guys. the boat chase was fun, though.
as i watched the movie, i couldn’t help but think about how many bond movies open with bond entering willingly into a dangerous situation, then chatting, then some gunfire, then escaping, then going home to talk to m / q / etc. has anyone on the net (or anywhere else) put together some sort of comparison of the various bond movies, perhaps illustrating sequencing / storyboarding? it seems like there’s something interesting there. building a bond film seems to be somewhat akin to building a pop song.
