Boring

Rating: 1/10 (22 February 2016)

Everyone in this film is bored, as though they just want to get it over with. Maybe what they need is a fresh cast and a fresh production team, as well as a change in style.
Indeed, this film is all style and virtually no substance. The characters are two-dimensional and irrelevant. We just don't care about them. The film is largely a succession of two types of scenes: the ones in which nothing happens, while Bond and others just pose for the camera, as if in some expensive fashion commercial; and the ones filled with action where nothing is ever at stake because the protagonists are clearly in no danger. The whole thing comes across as going through the motions.
Bond is very dull, he has no charisma or sense of humour, and his relationships are also empty and dull. And as for the villain, he is absolutely ridiculous, and not one bit menacing.
One final observation: the song for the introduction is the worst ever in this marathon franchise. Absolute rubbish.
I am glad Craig will not be making any more of these films and I warmly recommend the producers to try something new for a change. Try to make us care, try to make us like the protagonists, and insert more substance and less posing for the cameras.
