Cool special effects but......THIS IS NOT A BOND MOVIE

Rating: 3/10 (5 March 2014)

The movie is worth watching only for the special effects which are well done, which is why I gave it 3 stars. However, the NUMEROUS repetitive plot holes, weak acting, and non-Bondishness of the entire story just make it silly.
Plot holes and continuity problems - these have already been pointed out by other reviewers and I can only confirm them. Worst ones IMO - how does Raoul Silva escape from a locked guarded glass cage back at MI6 and kill two armed guards when he is dressed only in a jumpsuit and has no weapons? And how does Q, the most brilliant computer mind in the UK, allow all of MI6 to get hacked?
The implication of Bond being either gay or bisexual subtracted from the story. I am not homophobic but this was a ridiculous premise, added less than nothing to the story, and made an already weak script even worse. Ian Fleming is rolling in his grave.
Daniel Craig COULD make a good Bond, but he needs a director who can pull some emotion out of him instead of constantly being a block of wood.
Judi Dench turned in probably the worst acting performance in her career in this movie. So much so that her death at the end was almost welcome.
The one bright spot in the movie was Naomi Harris. Spot on performance from her.
It's an okay action movie with a non-substantive plot and dullard acting. However, it misses so many of the traditional Bond familiarities that it is not deserving of being called a Bond movie.
