Lots of "bling" and loads of time wasted!

Rating: 2/10 (8 March 2009)

This movie is a waste of time! Thats how simple it is! I'm a big bond fan, and have seen all of the other bond movies a 100 times, and know my bond genre, but movie is not even worth being called movie. It should have been a direct-to-video fan flick of the lowliest kind.
The movie basically starts out where Casino Royale left off (yet another bad Bond movie), and features some of the worst action scenes. First we have a shooting scene, without action or even violence, followed by a few racing scenes, that made me reach for the M&M, which seemed more exciting. Then followed up by a "boat battle" scene, which ends in Bond virtually giving up and sailing off?!? And the whole movie is crammed packed with scenes just as boring! And to make everything even worse, the movie is based on a true story in Bolivia, where a company gained control of the water supply and then tripled the prices (quite boring by Bond standards), but by some strange twistedness of the producer, they decided that their audience couldn't handle that, since the "bad" guy in the movie only doubles the water price in Bolivia. Apparently water pricing is hardcore to the modern audience! To top it all off there is no consistency or even will-to-live in this movie, and by some (read: Bad) choice of the producer, visual effects make good movies, while script doesn't! The entire movie reeks of rejected film-student, with a budget to break and a franchise to ruin. The only times the movie shows promise is in few bleak moments where a parallel is drawn old Bond movies, but those moments fade out of memory, as you try not the fall asleep. My M&M where the most exciting and mind blowing that happened in that theater, and i don't pay that much to sit in a ill lit room, where i can't talk for 2 hours, just to eat M&M! So do yourself a favor, and use all of your movie money to buy 2 packs of candy and a bus ticket home, since that will be worth more to you in the long run!
