Decent movie but is it a Bond movie?

Rating: 6/10 (12 November 2012)

If you forget that it is a Bond movie, Skyfall is a decent movie. I can't say that it is great because I don't have the urge to watch it again - at least now, 24 hours after watching the movie.
The main actors (Craig,Dench,Bardem, Fiennes) are great. As in Quantum of Solace, the story is rather mediocre.
I have tried to figure out why Skyfall did not click as a Bond movie for me.
One, the villain isn't all that menacing. Two, the Bond girls (if one can forget that M is probably the main 'girl' in this movie) are not captivating. Three, the 'action' scenes are not new. Four, there aren't enough lines or scenes to remember.
One of my main problems with the movie is that it deals with Bond's childhood (and a rather stereotype one that turns out to be).
I know that I have been over-critical. Well, if you are a fan of the Bond movies and novels, it is tough to accept a zero-zero-six-point-nine-nine, right?
