Quantum of boredom.

Rating: 5/10 (3 June 2020)

Very weak storyline. A villain with aspirations of World Dominance (Actually, just Bolivia) buying up what appears to be useless land (akin to Lex Luthor in Superman 1978) but it turns out, it's in order to control the water. The Villain wants to control the water of Bolivia (not the oil of most of Europe like King in "The World is not enough"). This, in itself makes you think, is that it? That's the threat?
We have one of the worst Villains in Dominic Greene (up there with Drax on the zero charisma and menace), Merano who wants to be President of Bolivia (only has about 3 scenes and the only thing menacing about him is that he likes to rape).
The CIA and British Government now seem content to turn a blind eye to the villains, all is forgiven with Mathis, the Bond girls are 1 dimensional and expendable and Bond just seems to be on a rampage (instead of cool, calm, collected).
Really, the only thing I liked about this one was more screen time for Dame Judi Dench who had a lot more to do in this one and brought more to her portrayal of M than she has done in the purvis entries.
