I miss James Bond.........

Rating: 6/10 (28 November 2015)

I have been a fan since before MoonRaker. I have been saddened by the decline in recent films of the image of James Bond. He has or was always dashing and a true ladies man. Now he has become lack- luster and predictably plain. In this film the main female lead was ordinary looking and not a Bond Girl in the traditional vain. I would rate her as "your 5 YO daughter cute" but not sexy. The one time they did try for sexy ( on the train) they missed. The attempt at a statuesque beauty was a big failure. The lip stick was to heavy and the entire look was plain. The car chase was boring at best and the ending with the ejection that the villain did not see was unbelievable.
Speaking of villains, the villains in this film were boring and unimaginative. The brute was simply a big guy that could hit hard. He had no razor sharp hat to throw or beautifully sharp teeth to attack with. He did have (in one scene only) steel fingernails but we only see those once and then never again. He does not attempt to use them in the one fight scene with Bond. This is explainable since they seemed that they should have been featured as a weapon in a fist fight.
I would love to see a return to the James Bond of old, Sean Connery and Roger Moore with the multiple women and the insanely sexy leads. The dashing and stylish tux wearing 'lady killer".
