Execrable drivel... with no piranhas

Rating: 1/10 (5 November 2012)

I just watched this film again prior to seeing Skyfall. I had seen it before, but couldn't remember much about it. I now know why. It truly is vacuous drivel. The plot makes very little sense at all, and the disjointed direction makes it even harder to follow. Worse, the villain is completely pathetic. James Bond villains used to have piranhas, sharks and crocodiles, and giant bases that emerged from beneath the sea or from inside volcanoes, from where they hatched grandiose plans for world domination. Here, instead, we have a man who wants to take over a water company. Is this really a case for the world's greatest secret agent? Please, if you are going to make a film that crashes through all boundaries of credibility, at least give us some piranhas.
