A good action film - a horrible Bond movie.
Overall, a very disappointing. It is lacking almost every ingredient needed to create the fantastic James Bond as we know him.
SPOILER ALERT
The plot is all over the place, even absolutely non-sensical at times. JB "Bondish" personality feels completely changed, lacking the flirtatious, womanizing charm, the toughness, and even the style. Whilst Monepenny was an amazing addition to the Bond franchise, feeling natural and strong, the new 007 felt forced and had an awkward/bad chemistry with JB. Additionally, the female characters are all fighting power machines, and can't really be considered Bond Girls. The scene with Paloma was a refreshingly Bond-like interaction with a woman. Nonetheless, Paloma ended up overwhelming a dozen guys in high heels, moving the scene into the ridiculous. The villain was terrifically bad - no proper backstory, no motive, no character development (& a truly disappointing end to the SPECTRE). I don't even want to mention this unforgiving ending.
What's truly spectacular about the movie was the cinematography and car/ chase scenes.
Overall, it is disappointing. Several times, I felt removed from the world of JB by feeling the ideological undertone driving so many parts of it (whether that's with Bond's changed personality, the new 007, Q or even some fighting scenes).
I wish they had kept the original director. We can only hope for a miracle for the next JB film.
