Great cinematography but definitely one of the worst written movies I’ve seen the past decade. While watching I had the misfortune of being reminded of half a dozen other action movies from Batman to Inception instead of being immersed in the story.
The whole old/new gimmick was a cute touch, but between the lack of cool new gadgets and the unconvincing but amusing villain, watching a battered and broken Bond left me feeling just as exhausted.
Watchable rating: 2 beers, make the story go away and watch it for the lulz
