Where's "Bond, James Bond"?

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2013)

Entertaining in a generic action-movie sense. But there are certain things that Bond Films must contain, and they are missing here.
James Bond must at some point in the movie introduce himself as "Bond, James Bond." He doesn't. It's something that people look forward to, and the director has let us down here.
There has to be a "Bond Girl" with a humorous name. There is a character named "Strawberry Fields" but we don't find out her first name until the credits roll. She's just "Fields" in the movie. And she doesn't seem to have any function other than to look good and then die badly.
There has to be an evil bad guy out to do Something Really Bad. Overcharging for water utility bills doesn't quite make it.
There has to be Clever Gadgets, and a visit to Q to get them. In this movie it's just Bond and his Walther PPK. At least they could have given him some kind of cool app for his cell phone.
There are some winks to previous films, and I'll give them credit for those. But the Vesper Martini thing was really lame.
Overall it was very disappointing, and I'll avoid other Bond films by this director.
