Bang, Crash, (Cods)Wallop

Rating: 5/10 (26 October 2012)

The usual 21st century Bond demolition derby with lots of ear shattering explosions and general destructive mayhem. The attempts at injecting humour generally fall flat and the villain is more of a puppet than The Hood from "Thunderbirds". Not very exotic locations, all seen at night anyway, Daniel Craig looks more like George Sewell from "Special Branch" than ever and since when have tube trains run on the District Line? (It's a sub surface line and uses normal height rolling stock). The Aston Martin DB5 makes a re-appearance but, as in the Brosnan years, still lacks the revolving number plate box on the front bumper (it has a normal plate screwed to the bumper instead). Oh well, back to the Blu-ray box set!
