Just Avoid It + I Am Wondering Why So Many Critics Liked It?

Rating: 1/10 (16 February 2013)

Let me begin from the end by summarizing it and saying that it is probably the worse movie in the Bond franchise, here are some pointers: 01. The production said that the budget of the movie was around 200$ million dollars, unless the actors received 180$ Millions from it I have no idea how they came up with such an enormous sum, something is really fishy in their claim.
02. The script of the movie is just terrible! It's not A typical Bond film, one can barely call it an action movie, it's more like A soap, before I saw the movie I was wondering why it's so long (Almost 2.5 hours), after seeing it I understood! The dialogs between the main characters are just endless and tiring, about two thirds of the movie is filled with endless babbles. You can forget about funny anecdotes that use to be so familiar with Bond or the ingenuity that set him apart from the average Jo and his nemesis, for the third movie in A row now Bond is all about brawn no brain.
03. The plot is even worse than the script, here are few examples (out of many!). The bad guy "Silva" wants to kill "M" (revenge), why not just kill her? He has the resources, he has the ability, he is not shown as an idiot, so why suddenly act as one? His people also try to kill Bond A couple of times but once he captures Bond, he "forgets" that he wants kill him and instead he wants to give him "A moral lecture" A thing that which makes him look like the most idiotic villain ever. Another example, "M" and her people tell Bond that the fragments of the bullet that hit Bond are traced back to an "international terrorist" which has murdered the American ambassador in Yemen and the Americans are looking for him for 3 years!! Suddenly "M's" chief of staff says that they have sources that say that this person will be in Shanghai in 3 days and suddenly you see Bond waiting for him at the airport (seems like they even knew his flight number). Even the opening scene of the movie which was the most exciting in the entire film is full with holes and mistakes and is just far fetched.
I Can go on and on but in all it is really not A worthy Bond movie, and an insult to the intelligence of the viewers. And 3 movies are A long enough run to come to the conclusion that Craig is not the person to portray Bond, he is A good actor but he is just too serious, he has no sense of humor what so ever not to mention that he lacks the charm that Moore/Connery possessed. Craig looks more like A muscled bodyguard, A bouncer at A club when he should be portraying A suave, sophisticated cerebral assassin, apparently something he is not capable of.
There are many terrible reviews on this movie (seems like A record number here at IMDb) which makes me wonder why so many of the "official critics" liked it? Did they miss what almost most of us saw? Are they getting paid to write these positive reviews? (most likely!) Or maybe they are just terrible critics and we should almost ALWAYS avoid what critics say.
