not bad, watchable

Rating: 7/10 (5 November 2012)

Hi guys, I am not a Bond fan. But I wanted to see this movie last Saturday because some scenes were shot in Istanbul which I came across during my visit in April 2012. Generally, it is a nice action movie that maintains the level of excitement about all the time. However, there are some instants in the movie that really can drive you crazy. Here are some that I can remember: 1. M. really did screw, everybody is against her, the enemy gets inside the MI6 and she stills keeps saying "don't worry I'll fix this" and nobody is authorized to dismiss her. This is stupid. Bond also hates her, because he could have died after the shooting on the train. However, he offers his obedience to that stupid unsuccessful MI6 leader like a child. 2. There are some instants that both Silva and Bond get the chance to kill each other several times but they prefer to postpone their chances till the end of the movie. For example, in the underground Bond chases him climbing the ladders but he prefers chatting with him "bla bla bla" instead of killing him. However in the end of the movie he throws a knife at the back instead of chatting him. Maybe he is a coward. 3. Silva the baddie keeps killing people relentlessly until the last scene where he shows remorse against both the old hunter and M.. Come on guys! What was that? He misses the hunter, unbelievable! He should have put at least two bullets in their heads and Bond should have died in a couple of seconds after he fell into the frozen lake. That would be more realistic.
If you ignore those silly mistakes the movie is great:))
