not a James Bond film

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2015)

This is a James Bond film NOT based on a Ian Flemmings book or story, for the first time ever. So normally (because a film is a story with many many pictures ) this is not a real James Bond film. I went to see it in a cinema in Athens, Wednesday working day.The theater was surprisingly full,a month or more after its premier, but in the end I have the feeling that I didn't spend fair well my 7.5 euros. First is the title. Always James Bond 's film title are catchy and "handsome". This one is just stupid and meaningless. Second the soundtrack. Nice performance, nice song but not for a James Bond film. Come on people this is James Bond we don't want a man crying in his James Bond song! But the major problem is the script. Now we can understand how genius was Ian Flemming. There was no humor (except the scene with the sofa at the beginning)and too slow development, with no surprises. It is a same because the action scenes are really great. Daniel is trying to save it but it is a no hope fight. Léa Seydoux wonderful and sexy, Monica Bellucci ... well she is Monica Bellucci I am forbidden to say anything else, only she is 51! Please! Not suitable for a Bond girl. Overall = disappointing.
