It's a damn shame.

Rating: 3/10 (16 November 2015)

I hadn't watched a 007 film in a long time so maybe I am viewing this in nostalgia glasses. It's quite hard to do what this film did, which is take good action sequences, good use of the IP, good photography and a good idea and just break it in every opportunity they had. Every time you think the movie is gonna be better, they just throw you another "007 is a 50's womanizer" or "I love you even though I met you like 1 day ago". And the dialogue, oh my god the dialogue. The attempts at humor are insulting. some of the lines, especially by C and M are cringeworthy. You can almost see it in the faces of the actors themselves. And on top of everything, it's about 40 minutes too long.
And I write this not as a hate piece, but as a disappointed film-goer. It could have been good, but it's badly written and broken.
