Starts off great, then downhill from there

Rating: 4/10 (1 December 2015)

This has a great start, especially when seen on a big screen like IMAX. One of the best action sequences ever. Somewhere about when they got to the desert, it went from a good Bond film to a Doctor Evil parody of a Bond film.
First, a quibble about the Bond girl. For all the hype about Monica Bellucci and Bond going with an older women, well, it's just a one-night stand. Instead, they team Craig up with Lea Seydoux, a Jennifer Lawrence look-alike who would be better off portraying his daughter, and she's the one who teams up with Bond - no real change here in the formula.
Then we have the Dr. Evil unnecessary torture scene which gives Bond a chance to escape. Quelle surprise! He even manages to get the exact same facial scar as dear old Dad!
Silly. Was hoping for a little more meat on this bone.
