50 years of Bond and we're back to square 1!

Rating: 4/10 (7 November 2012)

The film was good and bad bit of a disappointment though if I'm honest. The general plot was just OK- weak in many places. The actors did the best with what they had... Silva stealing the show for me. He was a believable and interesting villain.
The biggest disappointment for me was that after 50 years of Bond that we seem to have come full circle back to the beginning. The stupid sexual jibes (I mean I know they have them in all of them and its part of the character but they were becoming smarter and more hidden and now it's totally gone back to how it was all those years ago- to obvious and actually quite boring! I thought this was the perfect opportunity to bring Bond into the 21st century for not only men but for women as well. If your going to get rid of a strong female character at least replace her with another strong female- why not a female Q for instance! As i said before, some of the plot was totally unbelievable- i mean as if M would have gotten to that position in MI6 and not have been able to shoot a gun! I just felt they made her look too weak all the way through the film and as for Moneypenny- well... i don't even think i have the words! That portrayal basically said- I'm a woman and I need to just sit behind a desk for the rest of my life because of that! 50 years of Bond and we're back to square 1!
