Reading Response 4

I have never watched the James Bond movies, so I thought when I would reading this I would be able to figure out the plot. I was wrong as I read this I got more and more confused on what the author was trying to say. I had a hard time following the passage, it went for the movie to like a different movie to compare it and it just added to my confusion. Also I felt to make this paper better they should have added some citations. That way it would not make it a paper that was all about opinion. I do admit he did well on talking about the action scenes and comparing them to other movies. It just would have been better if it went in order, and I could clearly get the message he was trying to say. I did thinking though that comparing it to the other James Bond movies was a good idea, but not comparing it to the Dark Night, because they are two different movies. Scott also did a great job on creating background information on each character and other movies they were in. The big thing that i felt was lacking was information and evidence. This paper just got to the point where it became all background and opinion. Nothing came from an other critic, or used information that supported his ideas. Next, I thought that an other good thing he did was describe the music. This was one of the best things about the paper. It made you think of the song and sing it, as if you are actually watching the movie. The overall paper did not make me want to go and see the movie. Instead it made me more confused than if i were to actually watch the movie. Although Scott had some good techniques, it still did not help me with the whole understanding of the movie since i have not seen it.
