If there was one line to describe the new Bond film, it would be, "in which Bond became Rambo"
As in Casino Royale, the gadgets and girls (two, of whom there is hint of sex with one) are in short supply and action is over the top. Bond is not witty or charming but a mean machine. However, in the earlier film there was much for us women to feel happy about. Craig was a delectable eye-candy with a luscious pout and buff body that he displayed to the hilt. No such luck here. The angsty, truant Bond and his sulky ways get too irritating, the pout notwithstanding. The famous Bond theme plays only in the end credits. The famous line "The name’s Bond, James Bond" doesn’t figure at all. Of course there are little windows of humour but they are way to small. Like M sardonically warning Bond not to kill any more leads. Or the nicely conceptualised secret meeting in an opera performance, which ends in a bloody battle. Even that could have been done better. All that has stayed in my memory is the scar on Ms Kurylenko’s back that I initially mistook for a tattoo and the immensely watchable Dame Dench when she is applying cream, or was it cleanser, on her face while barking instructions on Bond.
