What happened?

Rating: 1/10 (26 March 2009)

As a longtime Bondfan I don't know what to say. I can't defend this movie because it is incredibly dull from start to finish.
Did the 2nd unit take complete control of the first half of the film? Long action scene -- 1 min dialogue -- long action scene -- 1 minute dialogue -- long action scene etc. etc... There's no attempt from the director to build up some kind of atmosphere or intrigue. The story is weak and there is no memorable dialogue at all. Even the editing is a mess and makes the film painful to watch sometimes.
Daniel Craig is rather anonymous in the whole film. He is more Bourne than Bond, and it seems like he just waiting for his paycheck. I liked him in Casino Royale but after this film I am not sure if he has what it takes to carry the mantle in 3-4 films. Anyway, James Bond Will Return! Well, hopefully.
