Worst Bond with Craig. How Sam Mendes killed 007...

Rating: 5/10 (8 November 2015)

I wasn't a big fan of Skyfall. Casino Royale was absolutely perfect, Quantum of Solace was pretty descent, but when Sam Mendes took over, the series got much worse. What was wrong with Skyfall? Well, half of the movie was some kind of variation on Home Alone. Besides the film had many naive moments. This is why I wasn't too happy that Mendes was to direct Spectre. And sadly my doubts were well founded. Spectre is much worse than Skyfall, but on so many levels, that it's hard to list them all. What's quite surprising is that the beginning of the movie was really nice, with a lot of action, great pictures and some exciting stuff. But then everything went wrong. The movie was too dark, dialogues were really bad - with some stupid jokes from B movies, I was expecting Waltz to be great because he is a phenomenal actor, but to my surprise he was blank and his character wasn't interesting. And the story - omg, the story was so dull and naive that I'm out of words. There were also too many stupid gadgets - it was fun in the 70s, it was acceptable in Bonds with Brosnan - now it's plain stupid. Bond was far better when it was serious - just like in the case of Casino Royale, but Spectre brings all the stuff that's archaic and just not fun anymore. Really bad movie, I have all Bonds with Craig on Blu-ray but this is the one that I might skip. If they make another Bond with Craig please don't let Sam Mendes direct it. He's not the right man for the job and never was!
