Comes Up Short

Rating: 5/10 (5 September 2017)

James Bond (Daniel Craig) descends into mystery as he tries to stop a mysterious organization from eliminating a country's most valuable resource.
Although it would be wrong to say I am a big James Bond fan to begin with, I had seen every film up to this point, which is no small commitment. Daniel Craig does a fine job, incidentally. I don't know that he has an iconic look the way Connery or Brosnan did, but he probably is not the worst man ever to play Bond.
For me, the flaws in this film can be summed up as direction or cinematography. The story is interesting, the characters and acting are fine. However, the action scenes look really cheap and the computer effects are awful. Why this was allowed to happen, I don't know, but these are probably the worst action scenes in the whole series (though I have not yet seen "Spectre").
