The movie tried to drive in Bond's emotional baggage about causing the
deaths of everyone around him with a sledgehammer. No subtlety
whatsoever. Direct reference after direct reference. By the halfway
point I had concluded that the makers had decided to reboot James Bond
as John Constantine of Hellblazer.
