NEW BOND
i fell alseep half way through this
felt like it was hastily re-written, and indeed it has 5 writers credited which is apparent when watching it - - there were that many anodyne bond cliches popping in and out of the movie, maybe they got to write a character each.
some truly terrible acting performances too. the mr robot actor playing one of the main villains is your bog-standard, staring into the distance facially disfigured, looking-like-a-my-chemical-romance-fanboy, island owning mega-lo-manic. and he actuallty looks as bored as the audience. the comic lip-quivver reaction of Q to the end of the film is panto-season ham, and the new 007 would be more at home playing a market stall owner in eastenders than an operative in a sophisticated intelligence agency. imagine danny dyer being let loose playing sherlock homes and you are close to how bad she is.
as the awful plot slugs its interminable way through the TWO HOURS AND FORTY MINUTES! of the film, it of course has all the usual boring mcguffins, unintended comedy and plot holes.
people say there cannot be a black or female bond as the character is white and Oxbridge educated in times when only white men were recruited. ok, dr realism - how about smart blood that allows you to be tracked by and able to speak to people miles away or an EMP watch that disables all electrical devices near by except the ear piece in bond's ear.
boring, boring, boring.
