"You see what comes of all this running around Mister Bond?"
Bond (Daniel Craig) is back, but then is shot, and is presumed dead. But when someone blows up the MI6 HQ, this prompts Bond's return. First to pass his physical and psychological evaluation, and then to find the computer hacker with the skill to infiltrate MI6 and toast their building! This involves bedding some women (Bérénice Marlohe & Naomie Harris), being tortured, shooting things, running around a lot and some fisticuffs. All in an attempt to find Silva (Javier Bardem), the nasty bi-sexual ex-agent with a grudge against M (Judi Dench). A man with the inability to just shoot people he dislikes, preferring to devise a convoluted plot, costing millions, and involving complicated computer hacking, lots of hired goons and hardware, which ends in him walking into a room and shooting at his victim! Why didn't he just hire a sniper and save himself all the money, time and effort! And to top it all off, he's a crap shot so he should have definitely hired someone else to do the job.
Big, flashy, overlong, full of inconsistencies and plot holes. Otherwise it's a fine re-version of the Bourne franchise.
