Quantum of Plot?

Rating: 1/10 (2 November 2008)

Well I have just returned from the cinema and I am utterly and completely stunned. I am a life-long fan of Bond movies having grown up with them (now 36 years old) and I'll be the first to admit there have been some corkers along the way. However there was always enough class, substance or at the very least tongue-in-cheek to get you through them all.
When I first saw Casino Royale I did not like it but I thought OK, we're trying something new: a new actor; trying to make Bond more gritty and get back to his roots. In time I'm came to accept it and even started to look forward to the next instalment to see how Bond will have grown in style, sophistication, experience, etc.
Sadly this film never fails to disappoint and has a near sub-atomically thin plot, which is perhaps the basis for the "Quantum" portion of the title: The opening sequence was OK, again not a typical Bond but holding onto the new-gritty Bond. This then led into the worst theme music/titles of any bond I've ever heard/seen. Following the "escape" this film then just descended into less and less point or interest to anyone. Yes there was OK action but action without plot, character development or for what I could see any real purpose. What the hell was that all about? The fact that I care less about the sinister organisation which MI6 knew nothing about, than waking up the people around me who fell ASLEEP in the cinema (I kid you not!) should be a clue here guys!
In short this is the worst Bond movie I have ever ever seen and undoubtedly the worst movie I have seen all year (and I have sat through 60+ this year so far). This has without a doubt finally killed Bond off for me and I will not be watching another one of these at the cinema. Either come up with something worthy of Bond's lineage and with something the audience can connect with and care about or Mr Bond it's time to die.
