Worst Bond Film EVER ! (Spoilers

Rating: 1/10 (23 August 2016)

Absolute CRAP. That is perhaps the politest term I can use. This was perhaps the worst Bond film of all time and that includes the Moore and Dalton eras. NONE of Craig's Bond films have been that great as their prime objective seems to have been to go out of their way to torch all the old Bond hallmarks. Like how Bond NEVER slept with Moneypenny. Until Craig. Or M never being killed off. Until Craig. Sheesh - Twice I tuned in the movie and watched it for nearly 10 minutes, at 2 different parts of the movie, before realizing it was the latest Bond film !
The other objective seems to have been to try and "out-Bourne" Jason Borne, relying more on raw athleticism than the sophistication and gadgets than have been Bond trademarks ever since the beginning.
This Bond is not "suave and sophisticated" in the least. Change the name and put Statham, or Damon, or Cruise in place of Craig and you'd never notice the difference.
I won't even bother with whole lame plot line. I tuned in once at the start of the train scene. After they were off the train and standing at the "station" (before their ride appeared magically appeared) I actually had to search IMDb to try and figure out what Craig movie I was watching. I was surprised to find out this was the latest Bond flick.
The ending was so incredibly lousy it should be viewed as an embarrassment to the franchise. I mean seriously - you strap a guy into a chair and then, for no reason at all, have the arms move so that his hands are close enough that he can reach his watch and set up the "miraculous" escape. You could see that coming from bluddy Jupiter ! Love how those super evil needles to the brain had absolutely no effect either. Goldfinger's laser was scarier (and so was the villain). Then again, so was the laser scene (and villain) in Die Another Day.This was perhaps the least scary Bond villain of all time and that includes Jonathan Pryce's "Elliot Carver - Media Mogul" character in Tomorrow Never Dies.
And then, basically, one bullet into a fuel storage tank wipes out the entire evil network while Bond casually strolls away.
Of course, despite being at the center of the exploding watch and despite the entire complex going up in a fire ball the bad guy escapes and what does he do ? Captures Bond (again) and (again) puts him in a situation where he can get away instead of just putting 2 into the back of his head and being done with it. Like they stole the plot line straight out of Austin Powers II. Meanwhile the bad guys escapes in what has to be the slowest helicopter every invented as he should have been miles away (and hundreds of feet above the river) by the time Bond escaped but no, Bond is able to catch up to him in speed boat and take him out with a pistol from 200+ meters away. (But the bad guys could barely hit the plane Bond was in, using much larger handguns from a much closer distance.) Yawn.
Just another never ending cliché but without the charm, wit or class that most of the other Bond's brought to the screen.
Little wonder Craig would rather slit his wrists than do another Bond.
