The Worst Yet

Rating: 1/10 (2 November 2012)

I was stupid, i believed the hype! 'The best Daniel Craig one yet' Yeah right! This truly appalling film, has taken a dying franchise and (one would hope) killed it off for good, however i understand that there will be at least 2 more Craig movies, won't be seeing them. When Casino Royale came out i was interested to see it but was hugely disappointed, the story was OK, but the acting was dreadful, particularly Eva Green (one of the worst actresses ever). I thought Quantum was a bit better (More Bondish) although the baddie was terrible. And now this dreadful pile of junk, of which i can't think of a single redeeming scene, it's so sad that some good film makers are associated with it, Sam Mendes was a good director, and Javier Bardem can be a great actor, although he had nothing to work with here. I'm not surprised Judi Dench died at the end, probably of embarrassment. As far as i'm concerned there are only 20 official Bond movies and until Craig leaves and some decent writers come on board, that's the way it will stay. I wish you could buy a Blu Ray box set up to 20, but i suppose i could use the extra two as Frisbees.
