So I paid 9 Euros to get to see a quality movie once in a while. Wait, quality movie? Yeah, I heard about all the critics concerning this movie, but I didn't believe them... until now.

So I went to the cinema, had to watch 30 minutes of crappy ads to finally get to see an even crappier movie. Here's why:

  1. Actual story? None. Throughout the movie, Bond travels from place to place, whereas the audience doesn't even know why. Only thing that happens at the very location: persons die.
  2. This movie is missing the quintessence of a Bond movie: No Q, no real Bond girl, no Bond car
  3. The theme song doesn't fit to the Bond scheme (what the hell guys?)
  4. Too much action (yes there really was too much)
  5. The  ending of the movie isn't a real ending (you're like "what now?")

All in all I'd say it's a blockbuster movie and nothing more, nothing less. You'd watch it once and never again. I, for one, am not going to spend money on the Blu-ray Disk or the DVD.  If you feel like watching it, you should definitely do so, but don't expect too much.

Just my 2 cents.
