Yawn...

Rating: 3/10 (3 July 2014)

Two and a half tedious hours with Daniel Craig and his one facial expression. Has some good action sequences, but the story is bland and the characters are one-dimensional.
It continues the in the same 'gritty' vein that was established for Bond films when Craig took on the role: it tries to be dark and atmospheric but ends up being boring and long-winded.
I prefer Bond films to be a little over the top, and to have a sense of humor. There's no humor here: only a group of mostly stony-faced, unsympathetic characters who I couldn't warm to. I hope this trend can be reversed eventually and Bond movies can be fun again instead of insipid and yawn-indcing like Skyfall.
