This movie is terrible! I have seen hundreds of movies, and this was by far the worst! It didn't even deserve the one star rating I gave it! I am glad it is not counted as a James Bond film, because it would give James Bond a bad name!! To start, it doesn't even have the traditional barrel and blood beginning, or the cool songs with silhouettes of naked ladies on the screen. It plays some classical music and just lists the peoples names and who they play. Now, lets not even talk about special effects. THERE WERE NONE!!!!! No, wait, I take that back. Two or three times in the movie they shined a red light of "James Bond's" face making him look like a cherry. And what about action? There biggest -- and only -- action scene is when so girl sprays a few people with a fire extinguisher to get away. That is it! No one gets killed (except for M, and they just talk about it, never show it). The movie has a stupid storyline, too. "James Bond" comes out of retirement to stop two underground organizations involved in gambling. He is some old guy that says the new James Bond (referring to the ones in the traditional films) gives James Bond a bad name because they are all women-crazy, and have so many secret gadgets that they are a disgrace to spy organizations. This guy is incredibly stupid, on top of all other things. When he takes over as M he changes ever secret agent's name to James Bond 007 to confuse the enemy. What is up with that?!? Also, the first 45 minutes of the movie have nothing to do with "James Bond." It shows him at his house, M "dies," and then he is at the house of M's wife and daughters, where he just eats, talks with them, and overall says nothing about M. Then, about 45 minutes of the way through they try to kill him with a bomb (which regretfully didn't work). After that, he was on camera for maybe 30 minutes the rest of the movie, which is bad because this movie is about 135 minutes long. I mean, for 30 minutes some stupid girl tries to seduce this writer to become a secret agent, which I never got the point of. She has him try on about 50 outfits and asked him if ". . . Your personality changed with each costume?" There is no point to that part. What about the rating? It was given 3 stars and is said to be comedy. Not a single joke was told in the whole movie, but it was kind of funny to see the crappy acting, but not worth the time it took to watch the movie. I don't know what category this would fit into. Not comedy, action, drama, horror, or mystery (though that is probably the best bet). To end, the one star rating I gave this movie is a hundred times more than it deserved. I would be willing to bet that the Blair Witch Project cost more to make then this low budget, crappy acting, and terrible story-line movie.
