The unequivocal answer is YES. Too much action, zero character or plot development, and editing that was schizo.I'm afraid they must have been in a rush to get out an annual installment by the holiday season so they just said screw the script. Even poor Jeffery Wright (Leiter) was lousy dying from lack of script.
Bond films have always been fun but when you look at the action and compare it to reality it just doesn't happen that way so many times to any one person.
I still think Craig is the uberBond but was not allowed character growth in this franchise ticket seller.
If it comes out this poorly next holiday season they should shut it down.
