Not great

Rating: 5/10 (15 November 2008)

I went to see this opening night prepared to immerse myself in the fantasy life that is James Bond. Instead what I got was a poorly shot formulaic action flick that could have starred any everyman. The sophistication and FUN of James Bond was not there in this round. Also, I hadn't seen Casino Royale in quite a while and much of the film relied on storyline and characters from that film (perhaps that was my fault for not refreshing myself on "previously in James Bond's life...")
I thought the acting was first rate - Daniel Craig RULES! I really liked Olga as another character that was still hot but not a prototypical Bond girl. Judi Densch was excellent as always. But the film overall has a pretty lame and difficult to follow plot along with just being kinda boring. Craig as Bond and we the viewers deserved better.
