A hipster Midsummer Murders fanfiction on the big screen

Rating: 2/10 (1 January 2016)

We are greeted by another tragic addition to the "Bond" franchise, starring the ever ugly Daniel Craig, trying to break down a mystery as to why a whole bunch of people were murdered, while they all remain slightly whiny and very too cool for school.
These are all the things that are wrong with the film. + Bad CGI- the first scene was full of it, and the last scene + This line "He's on his own" - well duh, M, Moneypenny and Q should NOT be out on missions! + Unnecessarily violent torture scenes and full view of hideous disfigurements + Plain if not ugly casting- Bond films used to be full of beautiful people. Daniel Craig is again, an eyesore. + Characters came off as whiny rather than strong (this is the Midsummer Murders component) + Bond appeared all touchy feely with a woman in the opening sequence. Too much of Bond in the opening sequence. + Gadget failure - there are not enough gadgets either + Not funny - Bond lacks wit + Efforts to create suspense were boring rather than suspenseful
If you only see one movie this year, make it something else. One star because it was a film, one more because it was the least worst Craig outing yet.
I have to really credit whoever is heading up this reboot, they're managing to trash the legacy of Bond very successfully. Bravo.
