Not your Dad’s 007
Gone are the many Signature 007 Clichés
That’s right!!!
No more “Floating White Dot Thingie” at the very beginning of the movie.
No more Silhouettes of naked women during the opening credits.
No more “Q” which also means,
No more Ashton Martins armed to the gills with machine guns and rocket launchers.
No more explosives remotely triggered by Double 0 standard issue Omega Watches.
No more Vodka Martini… Shaken, not stirred.
No more Evil Henchmen ala “Jaws” and “Oddjob”
Also,
No more, “Dum da da da dum dum dum dum, Dum da da da dum dum dum dum…”
What does this mean?
My favorite 007

Dave (my co-worker) mentioned that this movie takes place before James Bond becomes Agent 007. Supposedly this falls into the “Batman Begins” genre of movie franchise recreation.
That’s right.
A lot of people don’t realize that, and at the end are quick to judge it as being “The Worst Bond Ever”
I ended up seeing Casino Royal this weekend. With less cheese and more style, it’s easily my favorite Bond.
Hey Dave, Mike’s Co-worker…
Totally agree with you.
Those who call this “The Worst Bond Ever” completly missed the point about this latest installment.
Funny, guys. Funny.
