Cannot compare like that.
James Bond = Thriller
Ethan Hunt @ MI = Action

James Bond is an intelligence agent, he works for MI6. He gathers intelligence and those activities do not involve much action. The action came only when he is intercepted while gathering intelligence or as a result of executing the decisions that are made from the intelligence. For this, James Bond is not an action movie. It is a thriller, the action is secondary and to commercialized the movie.

007 is also should be an action movie, never a thriller!

Anyway I just watched today and IMHO it's quite a let down, especially because the bad guy was too easily defeated and Bond too easily escaped from getting killed. The most obvious examples were:
1. Already drilled in the cheek and behind the neck but no effect whatsoever with Bond and no logic explanation also.
2. After that so easily escaped from the Spectre HQ, just throw a bomb watch and shot like less than 10 people to fly off with a heli.
3. Again so easily escaped the last bomb with the girl.
4. So easily brought down the bad guy's heli with just a handgun! Why on earth also the heli just flew so slow and low over the water even after being shot a few times?  doh.gif
All those just had not logic at all, like the they have run out of ideas to make the script more interesting and make sense.

The only highlights of the movie IMHO were only these 3:
1. The first fight scene in the heli (seems so many helicopter involved in this movie!).
2. The car chase with the funny moment pushing the old guy's Fiat. Nice cars for Bond and the chaser too.
3. The fight in the train where Bond almost got thrown out.
Other than those yeah, rather average movie, I'd just give it a 6.5/10 and rate it as the worst Bond movie I can ever remember. Out of the movies I've watched so far this year, only Everest was more disappointing.
