Swede swung by on Thursday and talked me into tempting fate and going to see the new James Bond flick. It did not take much arm twisting, I have not been out of house since last Wednesday when I was delivered here.
I was a little concerned as to public reaction to a one legged guy hopping around a theater but surprisingly to me, I actually had young people come up to me and congratulate me for my courage! Really? People, young people, would stop at doors and wait for me to reach them hop-hop-hop - holding the door the whole time! Did I wake up in some sort of pod version of Seattle?
This latest installment in the Bond franchise was of course well photographed, the settings interesting, the acting over the top as one would suspect. Physics were suspended, actual reactions to pain did not exist, and a .32 ACP is far more accurate at distance than a 9mm ... sigh ... Typical Bond holes in the plot, but if I wanted reality - I would call my mother ...
But, what I was unprepared for was a Bond with an actual story line! Yeah, this one has a story and the plot a little obtuse at times but if you were ever a fan of Agatha Christie mysteries - then you are already familiar with how the plot line works. So the movie was enjoyable because its formula was familiar.
So an enjoyable romp for me.
A definite owner, a must see if you like Bond films.
