Colourful Bond Experience

Rating: 7/10 (14 November 2015)

What do we expect from Bond - immature bond girls, cheating married women, flying Aston Martins and classy endings in the Swiss Alps.
The latest installment has much to offer the average Bond fan but doesn't really bring anything new to the franchise. Unlike the main character it is not fresh and risk taking (and heartbreaking). If you gather 5 Oscar worthy actors (Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Christoph Waltz, Benjamin Shaw and Monica Bellucci) and make pizza with them this is not fine dining! Yes, you are happy and well fed but simply the taste's missing.
In a nutshell:

Monica Bellucci should have played when Roger Moore was James Bond

The main actress (forgot her name) - I don't remember really anything about her except she was blonde

Waltz - simply pathetic - feels like a construction worker dropped out from Classics at Oxford

Daniel Craig - usual class - such a fantastic actor

Ralph Fiennes - scared throughout the whole movie. For a Head of the British CIA he has a very tiny comfort zone and lets smaller people tell him what to do

The movie has no plot (not one that I could follow anyway). There is plenty of action and billion dollar car prototypes destruction. The movie is well put together and has a classy general feel - maybe because the premiere was in Royal Albert Hall.
... And at last the song - the most unimaginative and lacklustre performance. They should have gotten some talented black singer to sing about gold and cold hearts.
Nevertheless the next Bond Director should throw himself bare in the frozen water of whatever lake they film at and experiment a little bit more (enough with these Tom Ford suits and Crockett & Jones boots). The shoes btw are really not comfy and too expensive.
