Not a worthy successor to Casino Royale and Skyfall......

Rating: 7/10 (21 November 2015)

I was waiting for this movie from the time it was announced with Sam Mendes as a director who did a terrific job with Skyfall but I was disappointed to see a movie which was nowhere near the brilliance of Casino Royale or the genius of Skyfall.I just fail to understand the reason why the writers could not develop a story having such a brilliant story arc from Casino Royale and Skyfall.The movie was dull and boring at times and too slow.The action sequences could have been more thrilling specially the bond car chase without innovative gadgets which have been the hallmark of Bond films for the last 50 years that was just not cool.The villain was underused and I believe Christopher Waltz was wasted as compared to Silva from Skyfall.I sincerely hope Daniel Criag does not end his stint with the Bond with Spectre and does another one.I felt the writers took too much liberty in experimenting with stuff which has worked for Bond for the last 5 decades and in the process have come up with a movie which does not seem like a Bond film.Better Luck Next time for the 25th Bond Adventure.......
