Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.

They try to make the stunts and action bigger and better but I'd argue there were vastly better stunts in Moore's era. Landing a car on the roof of a moving bus, catching up with a parachutist to wrestle the chute off him, oh and the excellent corkscrew car jump in TMWTGG. More than that, these stunts were all done for real and it really shows. I know that's true for some of them in Craig's films also, but overuse of CG and disjointed storylines just leave me underwhelmed. The stunts seem to stick out somehow clumsily because the rest of Craig's films are so boring!Blowfeld wrote: I don't know if fans who accept the Craig reboot are capable of balancing the two different worlds, since Timothy Dalton the series has taken on more aspects of the big American actioners with bigger stunts, explosions, and cgi calumniating to hiring the most American of the Bond actors (Daniel) to essentially play a stuntman on screen.
