Watchable Bond film, but with major flaws

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2009)

This film is quite a letdown after the stunning 'Casino Royale'. The plot is nonsensical (Bond trying to protect Bolivia's water supply!), humor is in very short supply, and the action scenes are hurt by an 'arty' approach whereby meaningless secondary scenes are juxtaposed between high-octane action sequences. Maybe this is what comes from an art-house directer making a Bond adventure. Daniel Craig tries his best but is badly hamstrung by a role that gives him virtually nothing to do. The climax (MINOR SPOILERS) is unsatisfying, specially the fate of the villain. Watchable on DVD.
Overall 6/10
