Saw it last night. I thought it was OK--and frankly (IMHO) both of Craig's movies are better than any of the previous offerings --save 3 or 4 of the Connery flicks. From Russia with Love , Goldfinger, Dr No etc were excellent. The Moore movies became farces, Dalton films OK--but lacked good stories, and Brosnan's tended to be so far out of the realm--that they became stunt and gadget shows. ( I also profess to like HMS--after further review-the "fill in" Lazenby does an admirable job).

I agree that QOS--was harder to follow--had a bit too much Bourne--not quite enough Bond, but overall I liked it--as I did Casino Royale. I was a huge skeptic of Daniel Craig --thought no way this going to work out--and I have been very pleasantly surprised.

So it won't win awards and was a bit too jumpy--but overall--I like the path the franchise is going down, much better than the comedic, gadget heavy, formulaic movies that have been in vogue since the mid-70's.

Just my .02
