    Despite a strong opening sequence, this is by far the worst Bond yet. It never finds the right tone between seriousness and tongue-in-cheek it needs to make it's far fetched plot and setting work. In stead it just feels 'off' almost all the time. The action scènes lack excitement due to the idiotic gadgets that clearly jumped the shark (invisible car? What's exciting about a car I can't see? Oh yeah, so you'll have to destroy the cloaking device in like 2 seconds to make the scène work), the locations never inspire (Iceland here is just one icy white field.), Halle Berry is dreadfull as Bond babe, the twist about who's the traitor is clear ages before the reveal and the CGI is just awfull... Nah, having worked my way trough all the Bond movies in little more than a month (and truly enjoying almost all of them, with few exceptions), this is the only one I wanted to turn off before the end...

    Starts well but then just falls apart.

    Thank God for Casino Royale rebooting it all.

    I'm convinced that buried beneath a lot of poor decisions and missteps, there is a decent movie in there somewhere. The premise of the film and the bad guy plan is fairly solid, and being based around North Korea it automatically feels more like a real spy film than being set in some alternate universe where James Bond resides. Rosamund Pike is a good Bond girl but ends up being underused. The invisible car, CGI, Iceland locale, and Halle Berry (to some degree) are what sinks the film ultimately. Having a grittier Bond and him being tortured is probably the best thing that ended up being wasted. Casino Royale interestingly re-used both of those items as plot points and of course everything clicked in that film. 3 years 10 months ago
