Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (26 October 2015)

I arrive at the cinema eager to see the 24th installment to what has quickly become my favorite franchise. I grew up with Piers Brosnan but after Skyfall I accepted Daniel Craig as a new, gritty Bond. As I take my seat (half an hour early may I add) my excitement peaks. I am not disappointed by an electric opening scene but from this point the movie went downhill faster than the Barrel-rolling helicopter.
To put it simply, it didn't grab me. The movie lacked any real drama or intensity. The characters seemed two dimensional and predictable, I found myself wishing death upon any of them to add a twist to a poorly explored plot.
Having watched every Bond film and read almost all the books it is with a heavy heart that I condemn this film. The series has seen a lot of questionable titles but all have been at least enjoyable to watch. This stands as an exception.
