I mean, I hated Andrew Scott and all of Sherlock, so him being cast as the villain in this was great for me, I was able to hate him without any guilt. Though the movie totally missed the opportunity to have him not be in league with…the villain guy, that would have been much more actually meaningful.
And I agree about it being forgettable, you mentioned the villain's plan being stupid and I realized I'd already forgotten what it was and I had to think back.
I will remember Bond in that skeleton outfit. And I will remember the fact that promo photos showed him skiing but that sequence clearly got nixed due to Craig's knee injury--which was really unfortunate, given that the script talked about him skiing. And showed old photos of him skiing. (Actually I really wonder to what extent they did rewrites around the knee injury. I would bet it was a contributing factor in some of the action sequences being lukewarm. I also suspect they did some of the sequences greenscreen because of it too.)
