So bad, it almost goes full circle and becomes good - but it doesn't quite get there

Rating: 3/10 (9 January 2016)

An embarrassing addition to the franchise and a terrible follow-up to the very enjoyable 'Skyfall'.
Whoever signed-off on this plot needs to be sat in front of the film - 'Clockwork Orange' style - and made to watch it over and over and over and over (x1000).
The avalanche of contrivances and tropes are only surpassed by the poor casting and truly horrific acting - including, sadly, an embarrassed looking Waltz.
I was looking forward to this - much like the way I looked forward to 'Quantum of Something (or Other)' after 'Casino Royale' - and my disappointment then is perhaps topped by my disappointment now.
If this pattern persists, the next Bond film will again be very good - and again I will skip it in the cinemas after paying for this atrocity.
3/10
