this review pretty much sums it up:
-----------------
lowlights:
---------------
Cameras are placed at awkward angles, shots are too tight and it’s an eye-splitting jumble. Unfortunately, these poor production values mar chase and action sequences throughout the film.
There are no truly jaw-droppingly impressive gizmos. Another Bond wink bites the dust. Just some agency owned superwalls - think CNN on US election night - and cool cars.
Bond is lacking in dimension of character but high on jumping, rough housing and shooting. Craig’s rougher Bond fails to differentiate himself in the field of action stars today. What originally set Bond apart from the rest was style, wit, sex and class.
All gone.
The brilliant, maddening, stylish, elegant and brainy spy Sir Ian Fleming created is dead. He has been reincarnated as an X-Box game character.
============================================
honestly, in this day and age... although still not excellent,
the bourne trilogy set the high mark....(only the first movie,
the second was a rehash, and the third was decent)..
yes, it had improbable chases, long drawn out fights, etc..
but it still had more intrugue, a better plot, and just out-classed
all the previous bond movies going way back to before brosnan
screwed up the entire series, with a sub-roger moore type bond..
that's what really killed off bond...
later
