Title: Not a Bond movie
Review: Well, apart from Daniel Craig (ridiculous as Bond) the movie itself lacks the charm and class of Bond movies from Connery to Brosnan. I don't care what the original original intention of the Bond inventor was. Craig's predecessors created a character over decades. Some played him tougher, some with more irony, some with less. But Bond always had class, a sense of humor and charm - everything neither Craig nor the Craig-Bond scripts have. Just speed, pure action and graphic violence might be enough to make a good action movie, but it's not enough to make a good Bond movie, it's rather the contrary. There is simply no need to reinvent the Bond character, just as there is no need to reinvent Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chan, Superman, Laurel and Hardy or any other classic character. Period.
