All action, no substance

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2016)

I don't know what to think of James Bond anymore. I longer I watch, the more I feel the movie lacks substance. It's just all action action action. For example, every possible chasing scene was explored in this one. There was a chase by car, by foot, by boat, and then by plane. Yes I admit the action sequences are visually great to look at, but if you take away the action, there's not that much left of the film. If only there's a plot twist or more suspense in the actual story.
And compared with other spy movies (such as Mission Impossible series), James Bond doesn't even have much cool tech. Yes, James Bond is cool in the sense he's ruthless. But almost everyone he meets dies. Either he kills them or others kill them. He steals, he squanders money on luxurious lifestyle, and he leads women on. He's very costly, in both money and human resources, to maintain! Yet strangely enough, he's still awfully popular. I say it's got to be those suits and being British.
