nice track, nice start
terrible car, equally terrible Jinx, story about genetherapy was too farfetched (but not in the future I guess), weapon was yet again too dull (and overly done)
script was bondlike, bit too weird
ending was ... like always
bad guy boring? what you think of goldfinger than? a big fat guy and he's not boring!
no real danger? saw the weapon they used?
1. The script was cool
2. Hey, the ending was good, I liked that cute house
3. Which of the bad guys? And why boring?
4. There was!
5. Why do you write in caps, it's annoying
And yes, carry on

I like the film, don't get me wrong, it's a good film.
But like I've said so many times before, the car was dumb. The song, although it grew on me, didn't "feel" like a Bond song, but I guess with time it could become a staple of the series.
The opening sequence = GREAT! The best bit of the movie is right at the start, where Bond is shown as the human being he really is, and it keeps the story flowing through the beautiful credits.
What's with the stupid CG bullet that flies into the screen at the Bond "walk-and-shoot" intro? NO!
Halle Berry is OK, it's just that she plays an annoying character. She's OK I guess.
I actually liked Gustav Graves as the baddie, but I thought the whole "I'm actually Korean under gene-therapy" was stupid. I would have preffered to him being a millionaire British nutcase.
oh yeah, you won't find many people actually liking the car! I mean, the vanquish is a nice looking car, but the VANISH... BLEURGH!
the bullet at the intro didn't really bother me that much, it's of course a classic that they changed, but almost no one complains about Dr No where it's not Sean Connery that does the walking and shooting ...
and believe me, it's not only an annoying character Halle plays, she also is terrible at acting it out! she runs around almost forgetting she has a gun in her hands! (granted, she can't help about her character being so retardedly dumb and pathetic for an agent)
I think the mainproblem with the gene-therapy thing here is that it's too futuristic, no one wants to believe that it can happen (if)
yes, perhaps a nutcase would have been better, but how to wrap it up with the opening sequence? he was the bastard son of that guy?
I only meant it as a possible plot alternative. You could have just had that general guy in league with Graves because Bond killed his son and wants revenge. Simple. That and the diamond stuff. No gene-thereapy nonsense needed.
The bullet didn't bug me initially. The more I thought about it, the more it bugged me though.
I didn't think Halle Berry was convincing as a freakin' equal to Bond. As a Bond girl, yeah, fine, but she was so unconvincing as a secret agent that was supposed to know what she was doing.
Whats with Halle Berry and the "cat" roles anyway. First "Jinx" is a name you'd give a cat (or cat food even) and now Catwoman? Just an observation.
The car was rediculous though. A car that turned into a plane would be more believable. Heck, even a car that turned into a robot would be more believable than an invisible car.
That sort of stuff belongs in sci-fi stuff like Metal Gear Solid or something, not James Bond.
yeah, perhaps an alternative would have been better, would give it more credibility...
I never thought of the bullet actually, so guess I couldn't care less
in my opinion, Jinx was nothing more than a stuck-up bondgirl, if people want someone with more input in the story, Christmas Jones at least tried to have it
DAD is not the worst of the Brosnan Bonds. That turkey award would have to go to THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH which is THE worst Bond. Ever.
The first hour or so was watchable pap - nothing special but entertaining - the second hour or so went downhill rather rapidly. A note to the Bond franchise...
REVAMP THE ENTIRE SERIES!!!

oh well, by now you should know that Bond-movies don't excell in good stories
but the girl being the bad one while Bond didn't expect it was quite nice... only a retarded enemy but heck
