The worst of the franchise so far

Rating: 2/10 (13 April 2016)

Yes we have a new winner, or should I say loser. This is the worst Bond film so far. Let me say from the start that I enjoy Bond films. They are stylish and over the top and because of this have often set the bar for other action franchises. This film was none of those things. Bond films are known for spectacular opening sequences but this one was dull, dull, dull. Unfortunately the film went downhill from there.
I enjoyed Skyfall and have seen it several times but even then I found myself counting plot holes. In this film don't bother counting them. They will run into the hundreds. Just how many more times can Bond get out of impossible situations in increasingly ridiculous ways. Andrew Scott played his Moriarty character all over again with no difference at all from Sherlock. All the characters were two dimensional and totally predictable. The only reason I gave this 2 stars instead of one were a couple of lines of vaguely amusing dialogue and Blofeld's torture device near the end. We all know that there will be more films to come with Blofeld as the villain, presumably with eye patch. Please put more effort into them than this. As far as this film is concerned we all know what C stands for.
