One of the worst Bond movies ever

Rating: 3/10 (5 January 2013)

Story line was what mostly spoiled this movie for me. M's corporate style excuse for betraying one of her agents actually made me root for the bad guy. Also made me happy to see her die at the end. Not a stellar finale for Judy's role as M.
Bardem's tirade on what HCN does to a person when ingested was probably very impressive for somebody who never went to high school or never watched CSI.
The Bond girls tradition was broken too. Normally the girls would leave a lasting impression - either good or bad. Not the case this time. Their screen presence was barely noticeable. I thought the franchise had hit rock bottom with Halle Berry in that regard. I stand corrected.
Daniel Craig's and Javier Bardem's performances were stellar and this is the only reason I gave it 3 stars. And I am not sure I will be paying to see the next one. Unless the the franchise comes up with money back guarantee.
