I watched it last night, so a few quick impressions.
The song sucks.
The guy who plays Bond is starting to look like old Steve McQueen with cancer.
Nigger Bond -- she's just there, for no good reason, wasting our time. She was inserted for political correctness. She means nothing and does nothing.
The action sequences are good. I liked the fact that they are a bit more realistic than most action movie sequences.
There is no plot. Nothing interesting at all happens. Blofeld is a zero -- no energy, no danger, no sense of evil. The performance was phoned in from Equador. Bond just runs around after McGuffins. Of course his woman and his (surprise) daughter are put in harm's way -- they always are in these vapid action movies.
The Big Evil is not a disease, it is nanobots, but the action of the nanobots looks surprisingly like a disease. Bond runs around the world, trying to stop a pandemic of genetically-targeted assassinations. The nanobots target not only specific individuals, but their family, due to similarities in DNA.
No suggestion that the nanobots might be racially targeted. The producer didn't have the guts to go there.
I won't spoil the ending for anyone who hasn't seen this movie. It's not a terrible Bond movie, it's just not a very good one. There is zero sense of specialness here, zero reason to remember this movie.
