BBC News => “Brilliant†Bond seduces critics
According to this article, the early reviews on Daniel Craig’s 007 are in and he’s brilliant.
But before you start declaring the new “era†of bond, note this quote from one critic:
…easily the best film since GoldenEye
That’s like saying, “Best automobile since the Ford Pinto.â€
Goldeneye was the worst of all the “official†Bond films. It was cursed with bad directing, bad acting, bad story and bad music. I saw it once the day it premiered, got up right in the middle to go to the toilet and didn’t bother to rush back. When the DVD came out, it sat on my bookshelf for over a year before I bothered to watch it again… and when I did watch it my opinion didn’t change. It’s the kind of film I don’t bother to push the “pause†button on before a bowel movement. I think that’s the best way I can describe my feelings about Goldeneye.
