Waste of time. Insult to the Franchise.

This is just boring, boring, boring. Lot of crap happening, but the writing is non-existent, hence, no real reason to care what happens to anybody. The treasured "willing suspension of disbelief" never gets to set sail. The saving graces---only reason to stay in the building and not just bail on your date---the sound track is delicious and the cinematography just fine. BUT...when you are sitting in a James Bond movie and you are bored, well a big mark was missed somewhere. The women are beautiful, and Bardem does a satisfying turn as the bad guy, but his purported motivation is one of the flimsiest plot devices ever. I do not even find this can be recommended on a 'wait for the DVD and rent it" basis. There is just nothing here to rent.
