Bardem's over-the-top, camped up performance set this one back . . .

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

The opening sequence was disappointing compared to the first Craig film. The plot almost bordered on the unbelievable with Bardem being a swishy villain who is also one of the world's top computer hackers.

The payoff in this installment is the final segment where the more things change the more they stay the same. It's hard to wait over two hours for the "money shot" but it is a warm, comforting thrill of sorts.

Attendance is mandatory so go ahead and take your donut cushion with you.

PS. Movie makers, give Istanbul and the Grand Bazaar a rest already.
