James Bondage, really

Rating: 1/10 (8 November 2015)

Daniel Craig Bond movies are darker then the traditional Bond movies of old. If you enjoy dark movies then you may enjoy this movie. Maybe. However, there are many problems with this movie.
The Bond Girl is a disappointment. Léa Seydoux is pretty but not your typical, HOT, Bond girl. In one of the early scenes after she is introduced to the audience, Bond introduces her to Q. I thought she would be Q's love interest and the real Bond girl was still in the wing. I was wrong. Furthermore, her role was really not important. If the producers wanted to save money they could have incorporated her role in the other characters and not really skipped a beat. I think the producers are actually gay. Not that there is anything wrong with this but hear me out: There were only two women in the movie, the Bond girl and Moneypenney. As I mentioned earlier, the Bond girl was not hot and Moneypenney was even less so. There was no legs or cleavage shown plus Bond gets tortured by a man, see below.
I felt nothing for the villain. I did not like him or hate him. Just indifferent. Therefore, the villain character was weak and not well developed. I think if the villain would have been Bond's mama there would have been a more dynamic to the villain character. But then this movie would have been much too weirder then it already was. Keep reading.
What's with the torture scenes in these Bond movies? I read a post yesterday referring this movie as James Bondage. I didn't understand the reference until I saw this movie. In the torture scene Bond is cuffed, both wrists and ankles, to a medical chair. He is tortured while the Bond girl is seated in front of him and watches freely. Literately, she is not tied or in anyway restraint and watches, possibly becoming aroused? When she leaves her chair she goes to Bond, not to the villain whose torturing him but to Bond. She goes to him, kisses him and tells him she loves him. Tell me she wasn't aroused by watching Bond be tortured. But there are problems with the torture scene. If the producers wanted to do a real BDSM scene, Bond must be striped naked, spreadeagled and tortured. Maybe a little CBT (look it up). It's not out of the question. In Casino Royale he is striped naked, tied to a chair and has his gonads beaten. Which leads me to ask, what is it with the producers of this new installment with these bondage and torture scenes? This movie has a 7+ rating at IMD. Makes you wonder if there are more closet sadomasochist out there.
I do miss Roger Moore and Pierce Bronsnan. If you want to see porn, go to the internet. As for this movie, save your money for the DVD release. Or best yet, rent those old Connery, Moore and Bronsnan flicks.
