I had the pleasure of getting a sneek preview of the new James Bond movie last Thursday night, which is a moot point now becuase it’s taken me this long to post anything about it. I’m sure most people have gone out to see it by now.

Regardless, I really enjoyed this movie! It had negative reviews by a lot of the critics, saying it is too emotional and dark for a Bond movie. I had no issues here; it was emotional and dark, but I think it worked well! This is a new era of Bond.

I only have two complaints: 1) there was too many camera/scene cuts in the action scenes. One critic summed it up well by saying that they were trying too hard to create a feeling of intencity and action by cutting between different action sequences every 5 seconds. It happened, it was annoying. 2) I would be fucking pissed if I was Aston Martin! In both movies they had the DB9-S in for about 2 minutes before absolutely destroying it. I would like to see Bond actually drive the snot out of that car and keep it relatively in tact. That car is way, way too pretty to destroy!
