Daniel Craig is back as James Bond and we’re finally going
to be introduced to his greatest nemesis Blofeld and his secret criminal
organization set on taking over the world.
Sam Mendes returns to the director chair and all is in place for a great
film. Sadly I would not say this one is
as successful as I had hoped. While I
didn’t particular enjoy Skyfall as much as everyone else did, it is superior to
this sequel. Christoph’s Blofeld is very
underwhelming and the plot is less interesting or even coherent. The one highlight is the casting of Lea
Seydoux as Bond’s new love interest.
She pretty much saves the film from being a complete failure. In the end I wouldn’t say it’s a bad Bond film,
I did like it but it just didn’t feel as if they captured the spirit of Bond. There’s really only one scene that felt like
it came from a Bond film and that’s at the beginning. After that every action scene felt like a
retread of other famous Bond films. And
without a strong villain, and Blofeld should have been great, it's just pretty
blah. I really hope this isn’t Daniel
Craig’s last outing as 007. I want him
to go out with a bang instead of a mild shrug like this. Grade: B
