This is probably the worst Bond movie ever made. It's so bad I'll just rant.

It doesn't even feel like a Bond movie. There were no "wow!" gadgets. There's some cell-phone mumbo-jumbo and touch screens masquerading as cool gadgets, but we've seen these gadgets used to better effect even in TV programs.

There's no romance. Craig's Bond matter-of-factly sleeps with one bit-part girl. The main female is supposed to be interesting but is absolutely not. No interesting women, no chase, no Bond charm working its magic.

There's absolutely no style: elan wasn't written into Daniel Craig's role. I think they were going for Jason Bourne more than James Bond. (Why would a Bond movie director do something like that?). Even the fights and rooftop chases seem copied from a Bourne movie. They end up with a weird cross between Bond and Bourne with neither the smooth style of the former nor the brutal effectiveness of the latter.

The villain is the weakest Bond villain I can remember. He has neither menace nor humour, neither style nor strength. He's a pushover whose strength supposedly derives from the organization he represents. So maybe the organization is the real villain. Except that the organization plays almost no role in the movie; we're just told (repeatedly, often) that it is a Very Menacing Organization. It's like Aliens with no aliens, just an actor who keeps repeating "the aliens are very scary".

Let's talk about the chase scenes. The mandatory chases are there, but they are the most uninteresting chase scenes I've ever seen. Daniel Craig doesn't look worried during the scenes. This happens in some other Bond movies, but Craig looks like he just wants to be done with shooting the scenes. Chase scenes should have some creativity; I think any random man-on-the-street could have scripted these scenes in 15 minutes. Utterly boring.

Finally, this film has absolutely no highlights. I'm finding it hard to think of a single thing that was unique or impressed me in any way whatsoever. A single piece of dialogue, a brilliant scene, a novel stunt -- I'm coming up with nothing. That's how bad this film was.
