Charlies' Angels meets the Knights of the Roundtable

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2015)

Well done although there is no actual Roundtable in the film, this movie is more action based than your typical Bond film which leads me to strongly suspect it was made by mostly Americans besides the actors of course; I reference Charlies Angels for the creatively composed action scenes... tasteful use of CGI and the clever and sometimes ironic use of songs (mostly American) that play over some of the more violent scenes.
The movie pokes fun at the formulaic pitfalls of typical Bond films with some tongue in cheek dialogue and presents some plot twists that really were unexpected from what I gleaned from the trailer; most everyone's back story is explained with the exception of the villains henchwomen whom I would call scissor-legs but the story of how she arrived at her present skill-set is never addressed.
The fight scenes are very well choreographed.. one in particular seems at first to be a single shot until you realize the cut-away scenes of others reactions in satellite locations although they are not the Kung-Fu style I prefer such as in movies like Charlies' Angels or more recently Oldboy (American release) and more along the lines of a Jason Stathem movie but with more violent outcomes.
In all it was clever, comedic, thoughtful and action packed.
