I thought the opening sequence was freaking awesome. Great song. Alica Keyes with Jack White together? Nice.

I could follow it, but they tried to do to much. They need to spend more time fleshing out the characters. The pace was just to fast. You couldn't build up much empathy for the characters. They should have chopped 10 minutes of the action sequences for plot development. And YES, the action was just insane, and not in a good way. Action sequences are supposed to be dramatic, but these this was more like a blast furnace of violence in your face. You couldn't even tell what was going on. A man jumping across a gap between buildings doesn't take you breath away if its on screen for .4 of second, and followed by 27 equally insane stunts in the course of a 40 second action sequence.

That all being said, I still give it 7 of 10. Kept me entertained end to end. I am about as ADD as they come, so perhaps thats it, but I liked it.

Daniel Craig rocks. They need to give the guy more time to talk, and less time fighting. He's what Bond should be. Cold, yet witty when required. I rather enjoy that he's not some chessball womanizer in these films. He's a serious customer.

Some complain that the whole 'Q' aspect is gone, but have you looked around lately? Look at the gadgets we have today. People are no longer impressed by gadgets. We have them.
