This newest Bond movie was visually stunning, but the plot was seriously lacking. Yeah it had some crazy action sequences, and Javier Bardem was a pretty creepy bad guy, and there were some sweet throwbacks to the original films, but overall the story was just not there. I could have done without the random references to Bond's childhood past, it felt very out of character. And for almost the whole story revolving around saving M, I felt that Judi Dench kind of dropped the ball. Bardem had a cool backstory, and was awesomely psychotic in his subtle way, and the film could have used more of him and less... sap.
I still think Daniel Craig is right up there for my favorite bond (rugged and manly yet human and fallible) but this film was less than I anticipated.
