It's neither the best nor the worst of the Daniel Craig Bond entries. I did like the villains, but I didn't think they had enough screen time. I would have liked to see more of them.

Each and every diet carries some degree of changes to your routine eating habits and aside from the effects on the body (which you should expect) there are the deeper changes you should make. These changes include refitting your kitchen, refrigerator and pantry to ensure that your transition to the new diet will be as easy as possible.<br /><br /><a href="http://nomorefakereviews.ning.com/articles/the-3-week-diet-plan-review" rel="nofollow">http://nomorefakereviews.ning.com/articles/the-3-week-diet-plan-review</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-21780674568939217862015-11-06T01:08:06.640-06:002015-11-06T01:08:06.640-06:00Don't let JB hear you!Don't let JB hear you!Adam Riskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165600746796326821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-67151118916814392232015-11-06T00:33:39.584-06:002015-11-06T00:33:39.584-06:00Goldfinger

Dave Bautista was awesome and there's a fight with him and Craig that was my favorite part of the movie. My issues were mostly with the script. Really bloated, the final act feels stapled together and it has a major villain problem. Christoph Waltz was ok but he doesn't really come in until late in the movie and once you find out what's going on with him it's like really that's what all this was for? The organization Spectre was also underused and didn't factor in much. It's generic Bond but there's some good stuff in it too. I'd give it like a B-.

Dude, just because you have an objectively amazing range doesn't mean that shoving it down our throats won't ruin your whole damn song! I'd really like to hear a cover of this one in which the vocals stay at the verses' levels the whole time.
