Advantages: fresh approach to bond
Disadvantages: not the classic bond attitude

As I was lucky enough to get this movie on blu-ray for free from Sony, I had to watch it in high definition. Truly stunning, awesome quality on a pretty good bond movie. It has enough action in, and is generally a good movie, however I feel that Sony have placed too much in-movie advertising.. the sony viao laptops, the sony ericsson phones, and the sony blu-ray player and discs. But if you're into the movie you wont notice that, it doesnt exactly ...
...Daniel Craig plays in beautifully, although he's not quite the same 007 as what I am used to.It's the littel things really, for example when he is asked shaken or stirred... shaken right?... no apparently he doesnt give a damn. The movie gets straight into action, and then calms down, and then action, and calm and then action... it goes up and down over and over. But the ending is good and I'll not give away any spoilers. Now if I didn't get this ...

Review of Casino Royale (Blu-Ray)

Golden, Golden, Golden Bond

Advantages: 3 Great Films
Disadvantages: Rather expensive RRP on them in comparsion

Golden, Golden, Golden. Undoubtedly 3 of the best Bonds. First of all theres Goldfinger featuring evil arch villain (you guessed it) Goldfinger, has a strange obsession of murdering people by covering them in solid gold paint. Will Goldfinger succeed in his attempt to rob Fort Knox, surely not, but hey, it's Bond... anything can happen. The Second Golden film, this time, is the Man With the Golden Gun. Here new Bond Roger Moore, takes on new villain ...
...uses a Golden Gun. So when Bond receives a bullet with his name on from him, things start to get a bit heated. Will Scaramanga succeed in assassinating Bond, or will he be made to bite the "bullet". The third Golden Bond is Golden Eye, this sees yet another new Bond, Pierce Brosnan, star in his debut film. Things look bad for Bond when his best friend 006 appears to be assassinated. After a massive electromagnetic pulse, is set off, Bind goes in ...

Review of James Bond Ultimate Golden Triple Pack - Goldfinger/The Man With The Golden Gun/Goldeneye (Box Set) (DVD)

Golden Bond

Advantages: Refreshed, rejuvanated and reworked.
Disadvantages: Far too much product obvious placement

...took the part of Bond. GoldenEye was to be the first film in 6 years. The title of the film comes from the name of the Jamaican retreat that Fleming lived in whilst writing the novels back in the 1950’s. A lot had also changed with the production team as well. As producer Cubby Broccoli, writer Richard Maibaum and main titles director Maurice Binder had all passed away. Leadership of EON, the company that produces the Bond films had been passed ...
...an actor, it is in GoldenEye that I will always remember him for. As soon as you see him you know who it is and was very surprised at how well he played the role. In the role he plays a small time criminal who acts as a liaison for Bond. Overall the cast is a truly international set of actors and actresses that have been bought together, Brosnan and Bean go well together as they are different in looks and stature. ---Soundtrack--- On the hole this ...

Review of Goldeneye (Ultimate Edition) (DVD)

Z is for Zorro

Advantages: Not to serious action adventure
Disadvantages: Only had a video to review it from

The Storyline ----------------- Zorro is a hero to the people; he protects the weak and fights injustices only the rich detest him. After an unfortunate event in his personal life, Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins), the man behind the mask disappears from the scene for 20 years. He is brought back into action when he meets Alejandro (Antonio Banderas) a trouble bandit who has such passion and promise He takes it on himself to transforms Alejandro ...
...the reign of tyrannical Don Rafael Montero (Stuart Wilson) as well as taking vengeance for destroying his family and ruining his life. I don't remember ever seeing the original Zorro films, but I am aware of a long heritage of swashbuckling action adventures. For that reason I will attempt to review this version on its own merits. The plot of this film is to be honest quite predictable, it follows 3 routes. You have the master teaching the pupil ...

Review of The Mask Of Zorro (DVD)

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...
