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 ...

The man behind the boxing gloves
Advantages: Excellent performance by Will Smith, compelling viewing
Disadvantages: Boxing fans won't like the lack of boxing
Born Cassius Clay, Muhammad Ali converted to Islam during the course of his boxing career, and turned his back on his Christian background and slave name. This was to colour much of his life outside of boxing; he divorced his first wife, for example, because although she converted to Islam herself, she refused to dress appropriately. He claimed that fighting in the Vietnam war was against his religious beliefs, leading to all sorts of trouble, including ...
...insignificant compared to that of Ali - the man himself was larger than life and Will Smith took that on board and eclipsed everyone else in the film. I do, however, have to briefly mention Jon Voight, who plays Howard Cosell, a journalist who develops a love/hate relationship with Ali - his chemistry with Will Smith is fantastic and together, they add some much needed humour to the film. I have already mentioned my dislike of boxing. I think one ...

Shaft, A Low Budget Masterpiece
Advantages: Brilliant Story
Disadvantages: Cheaply made and dated to nowadays
...the attitude of the superhero, Shaft is a private detective in total control of any situation. Cool, self-sufficient, hard, indomitable, and he is in the middle of two worlds. He collaborates with white policemen and also with black mafia, because white gangsters have kidnapped Bumpy's daughter. Bumpy, the leader of the majority of black crime in Harlem, looks for Shaft's help. Shaft feels comfortable and secure in the streets, dealing with his "brothers", ...
...man who owns a kiosk. Shaft is willing to help him by picking up his newspaper off the ground. He also illustrates a similar attitude with a small boy in the street, by giving him a dollar.
Shaft is portrayed from the first scene of the film as a powerful character. He confidently crosses the street in the middle of the traffic while the opening theme song is still playing. He crosses the street with assurance in front of three moving taxis. His ...

The Complete James Bond, 'No Mr. Bond, I expect you to buy...'
Advantages: Good collection of films, iconic characters, stylish presentation
Disadvantages: Out-dated in its collection
THE JAMES BOND COMPLETE COLLECTION
I brought this a while back and I must say it is excellent. The presentation is top-notch, the silver briefcase just about the coolest DVD container in the world. It chronicles every film from Sean Connery's 'Dr. No' to the more recent Pierce Brosnan outing 'Die Another Day'. Of course it does not hold the newest additions, Daniel Craig's 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace' but as these are generally new in ...
...watch, if not always for the story then definitely for the generational features. Think Roger more in his 70s safari suit, Sean Connery in his trilby. And then of course you have the women.
The big downside to this box set, of course, is that there's always going to be more James Bond films. It may not be in date for very long. Also the price is fairly steep, yet is falling due to the release of newer additions.
Despite this, in my opinion you ...

Casino Royale 2?
Advantages: You will stay 106 minutes in front of your tv watching action
Disadvantages: I feel lack of something
...writing a review on the Quantum of Solace too. I won’t go over all the James Bond films I promise. The Quantum of Solace has more referrals to the previous film in line, Casino Royale than other series did. I mean that there are some dialogues between M and James Bond that can be understood only if you have seen previously Casino Royale. The film was directed by Mark Forsters. The running time is 106 minutes and the classification is 12A. The film ...
...about James Bond, visit: http://www.007.com/ The plot ------------ James Bond (Daniel Craig) tries to find the members of the organisation that blackmailed his beloved Vesper Lynd (Eva Green from Casino Royale). It seems that his action is motivated by revenge and M (Judi Dench) pays attention on his movements. He meets a beautiful girl, Camille (Olga Kurylenco) who leads him directly to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric). Camille is hunting for General ...
