** SPOILERS. LOTS OF 'EM **
... starts out with an amazing action sequence in Mexico, delivering
all you could ever want in a Bond movie. But the rest of the movie is kind of
by-the-numbers, never blowing the lid off of the genre the way Mission
Impossible did over the summer. There are moments of levity that feel like
throwbacks to the Roger Moore era, which is nice. But Craig seems like he’s
playing it too deadpan, bored with his job, as an actor and a spy. The casting
of Christoph Waltz and the guy who plays Moriarty in Sherlock feels lazy. Cast
guys who have already played famous villains as villains? Meh. If you’ve got
Mission Impossible and Mad Max to compete with, you’re going to have to
surprise me a little.
