Does it Hold up?
Not really. Action is actually pretty serviceable and the use of real stunt work actually looks good. But the movie just doesn't work.
Overall Rating:
Something was just off about this Bond
Weird Comedy or Something New:
Comedy.. Sure -- Lets see there was the exploding milk bottles.
The old Cello case in the phone book to get way..
Near sex on the ferris wheel.
The aforementioned Ghetto Blaster.
Some of the good guys are essentially Al Quid? Or the what became them..
Random Thoughts:
Going in cold to a Bond movie is kinda of refreshing..
Wait is this movie with Cello snowboard? IT IS!
15 minutes in.. wait that guy is totally the bad guy. IE it was pretty obvious ( and then they made it clear about 40 minutes into the movie, so maybe it was never meant to be a twist. )
The Bazooka "Ghetto Blaster" for Americans was either an insult or a lazy attempt at something..
The Aston is of course awesome...
My First Time:
Why Dalton sucked as Bond..
He seems to have no charisma in the role. Which is odd, because in the Rocketeer he was fantastic. He pulls of the cold and calculating part of Bond, as he is suppose to be a hitman essentially, but he doesn't the vulnerability or warmth that Daniel Craig has, who also nails the cold killer angle. Either way it's a shame NBC were d**ks and picked up a sixth season of Remington Steele and prevented Pierce Brosnan from taking the role two movies earlier.. But then we never would have gotten Goldeneye for the N64.. so I guess I am good with that.
