Funny how perceptions vary. To me it was the worst movie I've seen all year (best being the Martian). Went against all they had done with previous Craig Bonds (rebooting it to be more realistic, more gritty). This was the same new guy, but pretending to be the 60s bond. Didn't work for me at all. No plot. Desperately bringing back 60s clichés that were not integrated in the story..

3 minutes in, why would you try to kill the helicopter pilot ??? Just make him land !
Car chase was mediocre and totally unrealistic... the wingless plane catching the cars at the right time, please... The drill to the brain? Why did it not produce any effect ??? a modicum of suspension of disbelief, please ?!
I liked "the Man from uncle" 10x more (admittedly that's a low bar), at least it was funny on purpose, did not take itself seriously, and the cool old cars belonged... Now I get why Craig was giving interviews the way he did - he hated it as well... It wasn't godzilla horrible, but I thought they had gone a little more "bourne" lately which was more realistic, this was comedic...
