Sadly the film fails as an enjoyable Bond on many levels. Craig's portrayal of Bond is poor, he never gives an air of sophistication, breeding or wit, and his always-sour face makes him look like a grumpy toad. There are none of the gadgets we have come to love in Bond films, and no super-villains trying to take over the world. The whole thing is very small potatoes, and to be frank, a little dull. I didn't care what happened to Bond, or the world he inhabits. This Bond tries too hard to be the Bourne Identity and not enough of a spy fantasy. We needed more humour, more tech and more action, and less posturing. This Bond is a waste of time, Bond and the real world don't mix.
