Worst Bond after Dalton. NO FUN. Cast seemed exhausted. Don't go.

Rating: 4/10 (9 November 2015)

Almost no levity. We have gone full circle from Roger - now, all the seriousness, none of the fun. Gotta have a sprinkle of fun. Confusing plot from start to finish. Pretty much same plot as Captain America II and latest Mission Impossible, but just could not pull it off. Plot tried to pull together the other Bond/Craig films, but there was nothing from the former films that tied all together. The initial action scene was fun, but none of the rest of them were fun. Plane scene was not believable. Nice fight with the most boring Bond villain ever, Bautista (a great waste, as he could have been fun). One of the (yawn) most boring (yawn) car chases. The scenes with Waltz - wasted. Big disappointment. Cannot imagine how they made Waltz so boring on screen - no one else has been able to make Waltz boring - they MUST have made him do wind sprints before every time on screen. Somehow, they did the same thing to Fiennes. Both seemed to be phoning in performances. No gadgets, except exploding watch. Car, similar to movie, was a misfire. NO chemistry with the main Bond girl. Just awkward every minute in the film. Her acting was poor. Listen, if we stay with Craig, who just does NOT look like Bond, must keep the gritty realism. ALL that was gone, and we are just left with a tired Bond. Exhausted. Q was fine. Not impressive.
