I just saw it today, and agree it's great. The best Bond movie since the Fleming books.
Aerkuld, Craig IS a lot like Connery plus McQueen. That's an interesting way to put it. He's got a lot of intensity, and has also bulked up physically since Layer Cake. He's got the potential to be the best Bond of them all, IMO. The writing was also bounds above the last few. Especially the scenes on the train and at the poker table.
