No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to rock

Just watching an interview with Daniel Craig and seen some clips of the new Bond movie. First can I say, Daniel is hot. As if there was any doubt. But I am slightly worried about the movie now.


Perhaps anyone into Bond has already heard of this part of the plot. But I am not sure that using Vesper as a device for basing the film off is really a good idea. Revenge for her death? JUST NO. That is not what Bond does. In the books, he falls in love sometimes, with various women. Hell, with Vesper he was going to leave the Service for her, marry her, everything. But Casino Royale ends with him referring to her as a bitch and she is never ever mentioned again. Why would you then stretch everything and make Bond into something he isn't by having him dwell over her?

It's not unlike him to avenge the death of a woman he cared for. But the point about Vesper was that she was revealed as a traitor and that's why he ended up hating rather than loving her. Don't get me wrong, I like seeing Bond as a bit more human than he is often portrayed but not to this extent.

Anyway. I may be wrong. It was only a clip I saw so maybe it's only a small part of the film. But it didn't look like it. Hmph. I'm sure it will still be awesome; the stunts and locations and (schwing!) Daniel Craig look awesome. As long as they're good I will mostly be happy.

ETA: Also, I don't like the sequel-esque thing going on with it. Every Bond movie should stand alone. I do not want continuity, especially based around a love affair with a dead chick.


And thanks to everyone who commented on Evie's photos, sorry if I haven't replied personally. I have been distracted by her being pretty ill the last few days - first trip to the hospital, woohoo! But she's fine now, happy as anything. :)
