a a bond movie cr fail miserably . it have nothing that a bond movie should have . it slow and boring and witless and storyless and utterly unconvincing from a character standpoint . at no point in the movie do we ever care about any character . at no point in the movie do we feel any villain be really an evil rule the world or pull off the big heist ever type of baddie . at no point be anything sexy . at no point be bond ever suave and sophisticated and cool and smooth and carefree or even likable . if the whole movie be suppose to lead up to him say the bond james bond line at the end and i want my two hour back . ( spoiler ) there zero and nada and none and no chemistry at all between the lover and it beyond obvious that she be scamming him from the get go . it excruciatingly dull to watch the game both at the poker table and between bond and the girl because we all know where it go and it not fun . the movie be so tedious im surprise it survive to screen and wasn not rename and give an alternate end so it do not horribly stain the bond genre . the only thing slow than the movie be the amount of time it take the venice building to sink scene and bond to rescue the girl we know be gon na drown scene and for bond to figure out he be be con the whole time . yeesh . once again represent no evil bad guy and no cool henchman and no hot chick and no great chase and no crazy gadget and no james bond . there have be some bad bond movie in the past and but they be bad only because they do not live up to the standard set by good bond movie before them . this movie be just bad and an embarrassment to every bond movie before it . like others have say before . if youre hop for any kind of bond movie at all and watch one that be make before this one because despite the title and the lead character name . james bond do not appear in this film . p . the actor do not do a half bad job with what they be give but what they be give to work with be nfg . unless youre hot to see dan naked and get his family jewel smash skip this mess .
