Daniel Craig looked like he had just come off of a pub crawl; like he had been shaken and stirred a little too long. His suit jacket never quite fit and he had bags under his eyes and his face was an unhealthy pallor. Some way, some where he has just lost his attractive charismatic charm.
Christoph Waltz was a pathetic villain; not scary or alarming or believably mean or cruel. and Bond's girlfriend was blah.
In the beginning of the movie, there was a way too long (of course, the entire movie was way too long!) segment where you heard Sam Smith warbling and piercingly crooning the theme song while snakes and sinuous golden women writhed around Bond's chest.
My main complaint (need i list another one?) is that it was NOT clever at all. Just a very tired and exhausted replay of prior films.
There were several good characters that i wished had more on screen time; Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw as Q, and a new addition, C, who was the head of the new security and surveillance agency.
It's crazy but I tend to agree with you on this review. I think we liked it a bit more than you did, but it was lackluster to say the least. So happy that this is the last movie for Craig as being 007. We need some suave back that has some sex appeal.
