5/10. This movie completely reverted back to the characteristics of the previous films that nearly drove it into the ground - boring villains, lack of emotion, and inability to grab the audience. I was bored throughout the entire movie, even during most of the action scenes.
And they took away the grit from the first movie. They polished something that didn't need to be polished. The action scenes were so shakey they were unwatchable, the plot landed Bond in so many new areas that you wondered if he had the ability to teleport, and the overall feel of the film was a neutrality that disturbed me way worse than a flat-out horrible movie would.
Daniel Craig was still amazing as Bond, but the rest of the movie fell flat from the first scene. It just didn't grip the audience. Didn't hear a peep from anyone in the entire theater throughout the entire film, and everyone just sort of stood up and left when it was over, not caring. The film was on autopilot.
