Daniel Craig reaches the end of his innings in Bond #25, now visibly creaking under the weight of the baggage dumped on him during the previous episodes. The last film's baddie is still alive and likewise his deceased lover from the first part of the reboot still haunts him. A new villain is therefore called for and eventually materialises in a pretty off-the-shelf form with a diabolical scheme involving spreading targeted assassin nanobots across the world. The rest is an overlong series of action sequences where keeping track of the kill count soon proves impossible and superfluous. The fact that Craig's weariness with it all no longer seems like acting and the occasional references in the dialogue and soundtrack to the back catalogue of the character just about retain enough tolerance to see it through to the bitter end of the character.
Except 'Bond' will return because of $s. But it would be so nice if he didn't.
5/10
