Not bad but not great

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2009)

The latest Bond entry is something of a mixed bag . While Daniel Craig continues to impress with his gritty performance of Bond and the exchanges between Bond and M are first rate the movie does lack in comparison to a lot of previous Bond Films .
For one the choppy editing during the opening action sequences is annoying and gimmicky . The villain is boring and presents very little threat .
Also as far as the score by David Arnold goes while not as bad as let's say the score for Goldeneye it's pretty uninspired considering David Arnold started off so great with Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is not Enough . He seems to however get worse with each movie . Maybe they should get John Barry to come out of retirement .
Overall not the greatest film .
