Last two movies have been a textbook example of wasted opportunity When you've got actors as good as Waltz and Malek and write such under utilized parts for them there is something very wrong.

Bardem got a really nice bad guy part, lots of screen time and inventive demonstrations of how much of a nasty person he was, meaningful motivation, and quality lines.

Then ????

Out of all the options the best bad guy in this instalment was the scientist. A believable character with no morals to get in the way of his passion.

The Named Henchman didn't hench all that well, he just kept reappearing. The two bosses had shockingly low screen time and impact. Waltz's character has always had too many loose screws to be a good villain and now Malek comes along and does a whole load of weird stuff with suspect motivations after getting a very respectable revenge.

Lots of people saying it wasn't a Bond film.

What makes it 'not a Bond film'?

I don't really have an answer to that it just didn't scratch that Bond movie itch.

Looks like nobody else can answer it either.

3/10 the whole saga is now just a money pot for them

thought this was very poor - thought they had great reboot of bond with Casino Royale which was the best of all the bond movies but sadly since then just gone steadily downhill

"Nope"? You do know that people are allowed to think differently than you?

I liked it. It was one of my fav james bond movies

Make your mind up mate. You just seem to keep chilidshly jumping on people who express dislike for this movie, as if they're not allowed to. Someone said they don't like it a few months back, then you say "Disagree!" as if that makes any difference to their opinion, and then just above where you try to play it off as banter, but why would you bother replying in the first place if it didn't bother you?

It's banter.

Relax!

I love Bond films but this one was the worst I've seen. I felt robbed of £16.99.

I thought Bond just looked tired throughout, took an immediate dislike to the new 007 and thought the bad guy was dull & poorly sketched out but loved the sequence with Ana De Armas. She was excellent. I'd rather have watched a film of her instead. She was funny, interesting, sexy and dynamic. Then she was gone and it was back to 'discount Bourne' again.
I hope the rumours about ADA being in a John Wish spinoff are true, based on this.
