Words cannot describe how utterly awful this movie is. From the get-go it was just a noisy bunch of kids shooting things, blowing things up and generally rampaging around the set. The plot, what plot? was a thin veneer dubbed over an exasperatingly bad acting performance by just about everyone who set foot on the set. Continuity? Zero.... you were taken from one scene to the next with no discernible transition - for example, when Bond was trying to escape from the sinking trawler..next minute he's in some far flung country.. The miserable state of this movie mayhem was not helped by the awful music - when bits of it were played... The whole effect of this movie was to give the view tinitus and a sore head. And why oh why did the producers think that they had the right to blow Bond out of existence at the end? Graig's acting looked wooden and the baddies acting looked...well, bad! In one scene, Bond casually stands and slow walks across the room while multiple machine gunners desperately try to shot him to no effect. By the end of the movie, I was totally confused by the limp plot, and reaching for the controls to turn it off. Miserable end to DC's career as Bond. They even played the theme from On Her Majesty's Secret Service with George Lazenby - We Have All The Time In The World - the worst movie in the history of James Bond

Really dreadful and its sad to say that considering how good Daniel Craig has been in the role. I actually feel this film is an insult to his legacy and to what he added to Bond. The good 1. Blofield 2. Nostalgic nods to vintage bond cars, songs, etc 3. Some decent action sequences 4. Daniel Craig showing a bit more of a human side and that he's not just a hired killer The bad.... 1. Too many actors who added no value to the overall film i.e. new bond, that scientist, Latin agent, American CIA agent 2. No idea if that scientist was tongue in cheek in how he acted but he was awful! If he wasn't intended to be tongue in cheek then the caster seriously needs to get a grip.... 3. Terrible plot. Can't believe MI6 signed off that weapon and the absurdity that they didn't conduct some sort of mechanism to monitor these scientists consider what they were developing was incredibly dangerous. Didn't develop the villian in any shape or form. Remi Malek's character was really underused as was Blofield (albeit he wasn't the main villian) 4. The ending. A disgrace. I won't spoilt it but that shouldn't have happened to such a pivotal character. Yeah we get this person is human and that's no bad thing but come on that was the wrong way to go about it Sad its ended like this and just don't truly get the direction the script writers or director were trying to take the film in. Let's hope they don't do the next film!

Daniel Craig is as Good as ever and a nice if rather short cameo from Christoph waltz. Unfortunately remi malek is entirely wasted as the lead bad guy and oh my god,long so long. The plot is the weakest since quantum of solace and just takes forever to get to a rather limp finale. As for killing james bond it makes sense as it closes this story arc. The problem is now where do you go from here, they've left themselves a bit of a conundrum, oops.
