Good movie but too long

Rating: 6/10 (26 February 2007)

While I enjoyed the movie I found it to be long a bit drug out. The title sequence lacked something, the song did not get my attention.I suppose the rest worked, to a certain extent, but I The opening sequence could have been shortened.I felt as though they were trying to prove "THIS BOND IS AS BAD ASS as the others and more so". If they had shortened it I may not have looked at my watch about 2 hours in. The storyline was complex, which I enjoyed, but I think the average viewer may have been lost until the very end-- this may have been the objective. I like Daniel Craig as Bond, but I thought this introduction to him as Bond COULD have been better although it was FINE. It was just, in my eyes, to drawn out. He will make a great Bond but I think they could have tried less to convince us that Craig is physically able to pull off the role. Regarding that -- I have absolutely no issue. Craig is a GREAT Bond. If they keep the nest one within reason, regarding keeping my attention, I will pay full price to see it in theaters.
