Poorly written copy of Mission Impossible 5

Rating: 3/10 (4 January 2016)

This installment was a big letdown for me. The main problem being the script. The second being the action scenes.
Let's start with the poor writing : not only is this movie a copy and paste from Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 5, it does not know where its tone lies. The story is not only similar to MI5, it's also too slow to detach itself from Skyfall.
The dialogue was full of cheesy one liners that dug deep into nostalgia. However Daniel Craig is no Arnold and the lines appeared unfunny and ridiculous.
In this movie, some characters are written with no use in sight. Batista literally says ONE word during the whole movie. Monica Bellucci's role could have been written out without much difference to how the story could unfold.
The romance was so forced it felt unreal. Seydoux's character blurts out an unconvincing "I love you" after only 48 hours with Bond. Nonsense!
Now the other problems with this movie : the green screens are everywhere. Unlike Tom Cruise who decided to strap himself to a plane and do his own stunts, Daniel Craig uses body doubles for every scene where he's not talking.
Every fight scene, anytime he runs, jumps, anything with the most obvious green screen. Oh and what about this torture scene that served absolutely no purpose? James Bond has two holes in his head but no consequences... OK.
With a budget of $300M, it was a huge letdown.
