This film is about 60% of the water in Bolivia... That's all you need to know really, that's how terrible it is.Film-Makers like to make stories and villains realistic, perhaps so we , the audience can find them more accessible. Realistic plots and villains can work, in fact I usually prefer more realistic films, but they only work when you don't have action sequences randomly dropped in every now and then and 219 special effects artists working on the set.
Marc Forster has also reassured us more than enough that he knows how symbolism works. Why is it that every film released at the moment has an artsy, pretensious director who thinks symbolism is the key to a film? He tries to tell us that oil is more valuble than gold by drowning a girl in it and referencing Goldfinger and he inserts Hitchcock references all the way through. Not only this, he's also made every action sequence in the film revolve around a natural element (fire , water , wind etc). We've established that your intelligent enough to use symbolism Forster...
To top it all off, Bond is now such a good spy, he can ride his motorbike up to the fence of his supervillain nemesis's hideout on a sunny afternoon and listen to him chat.
