The acting, cinematography, music, and locations were all top notch. Even the premise of the story was ok, but it's execution was convoluted and confusing, overly PC, and often unrealistic.
When I say 'unrealistic', I mean within the parameters of the movie, such as Bond living 'off-the-grid' in a house without walls, doors or any kind of protection. It looked nice, but he wouldn't do that. There were a lot of these inconsistencies, where artistic style was put ahead of 'making sense', and often it felt more like a Marvel/DC movie than a Bond film.
Even some of the characters were overly cartoonish, like you'd find in the Marvel/DC universe (esp. The scientist and Q)
This Bond movie has become much more PC compared to the earlier instalments - I'm not against that, but they went too far and the soul of Bond (which was made famous by Sean Connery and Roger Moore) is completely gone. Bond is now more cliche than class, and I don't think the new writers truly understand Bond's psychology.
That being said, the movie was saved in the last 30 minutes, so don't walk out or turn off as it's worth persisting just for the finale.
