Title: Time For Bond to Retire
Review: The problem with QoS is that the villain is about as threatening as a Care Bear, and rather than getting his hands on nuclear missiles, he's attempting to corner 60% of the Bolivian water market. This would be weak enough if it affected somewhere in the US, but Bolivia? In an issue that would barely raise an eyebrow at the UN, Britain obviously decides to send its number one spy to fix the problem.In between a chain of over-the-top action sequences there's an InstantMix plot of no consequence. The plot points are TV-grade: in one 'pivotal' scene, Bond overhears the villain's master plans while hiding behind a fence. This is as much for the audience's benefit as for Bond's, in case we missed the over-signaled evil plan while being confused about the movie's title. Out-Bonded by True Lies and mercilessly parodied in Austin Powers, I think Bond's time may be over. It's really a shame since Casino Royale wasn't a good reboot of the franchise.
Is the review positive or negative?
