Too much 'In-your-face'

Rating: 3/10 (21 November 2008)

After looking forward to another Bond outing - what a disappointment! Time after time the splintered action sequences just caused confusion from being bombarded with incoherent images and sound. Until well over half way through the film the reason behind MI6's and Bond's interest and pursuit of the 'villain' remained vague and unconvincing. Likewise the supposed presence of incredibly motivated 'sleepers' in every organisation - For a Water Company !! The feeling that we were seeing 'just another action movie' a la Bourne remained after we left the theatre. As for the theme tune - what tune ? A disaster. We hope this is not the end of the road for Bond because Daniel Craig is really good in the role and he deserves better
