One question I will ask: is Bond ever going to get some gadgets, or are we going to have to watch a shaky "realistic" foot chase in ever film?

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - 5/10 -
SPOILER: show
Visually it was impressive. Storywise it was good up until about the first hour or so. Then the gimmick wears off and it just becomes a love story (and personally, I don't really even think Benjamin and the red headed girl had any strong reason to fall in love in the first place). The whole thing is pretty predictable at that point, and really I do mean the whole thing.
I watched Casino Royale about thirty minutes ago for the second time and I think that Daniel Craig sucks. He has no charisma, no aspiration to have any Bond-like characteristics, just merely a bland guy who is well toned to fit the role of playing the main character in another ostentatious action film, which seem to be the in thing in the latter half of this decade. Brosnan was a different kind of Bond, but he was charming and fit the role convincingly. He is personally my second favorite Bond.

Casino Royale 6/10
