Not at all what distinguishes the best Bond films. Even the fight scenes were shot too close in and chopped up to have any perspective or overall view. Casino Royale was much, much better. Even the opening sequence and theme song sucked. And they put the classic scene with Bond being tracked by the eyeball at the end...
Disagree on one point...both myself and the g/f thought the opening title sequence was awesome. Probably the highlight of the film (great aesthetic and font). Beyond that I agree. The director needs some valium...a lot of it. Way to jump-cut happy. It was over the top. Pretty nasty violence as well. And no naked Olga.
