So I didn’t really buy whoever this guy was as James Bond at first, because, dude, he’s neither Sean Connery nor Pierce Brosnan, and that’s just wack. But he got basically okay as the TWO AND A HALF HOUR movie went on.

Note those capitals: TWO AND A HALF HOURS! Hello! This is a light little fun flick — do you think I have the kind of attention span to watch such a thing for 2.5 straight hours? No! I am a child of the Internet, with an attention span measured in scientific notation with a minus sign after the “E”. So we had to split this up over three nights.

Other than the disturbing length and the non-Conneryness of the thing, though, it was decent. I continue to be surprised at how much those Austin Powers movies took straight-up from Bond, though. (“Hey! It’s Frau Farbissima!”) Also, as a caveat, I can buy the ski chase — if you’re on a mountain, it’s basically inevitable — but a bobsled chase is really a bit something else. Do bobsled runs really exist outside of the Olympics?

Also, um, the ending. Dude! Harsh! You’re supposed to wait until the beginning of the next movie to do that.
