Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (15 November 2008)

Ultimately I was disappointed. Thought the action scenes were well done, but there we far far far too many of them, to the level where they just became boring. Thought the story was bland, the bad guy a non-entity and the dialogue poor.
I thought Craig's performance in Casino Royale was poor, but in this he was truly awful, his facial expression never changed once, neither did his tone of voice.
All the one liners (an essential of Bond) were done by M, the one done by Bond, got a slight snigger out of one person in the entire cinema.
An awful Bond song. The filming was annoying, changing angles too much.
Overall there have been a few bad films down the Bond years, but for me this is by far the worst of the lot. All I can say is its time for Broccoli and her team to go before they completely ruin the Bond franchise.
If this was an ordinary action film, I would say it was average, as a Bond, it was just awful, there was nothing Bond about it, just a typical mediocre action film.
