Well... The movie wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. In fact, I kind of really liked the movie.
I have to confess though, I had my reservations about Daniel Craig's ability to play 007. I like him in Munich, but I never thought that he would make a good Bond. And yes, he didn't. In the classical sense. But on his own... He was Great!
Some of the good points of the movies were also the factors which many Bond fans might not like. Bond in this movie is arrogant. That's where he differs from the other Bonds. Bond is over confident! None of the previous versions of this MI6 agent were over confident. In fact, they always doubted themselves. No gadgets! No cars!!! I mean there is no watch with extra fittings, mobile phones with lasers, or briefcases!!! And the Car is just a Car!!! One with just 4 wheels and a GPS!!! And the way the car was destroyed! Well, Sad!!! And to top it off, there is no Q or P and Monneypenny is a He! Bond is more of a fighter than a thinker now!!! Just shoot and kill!!! Just a brute guy, unlike the others, who were sophisticated. That brings us to the last point!!! Bond in this movie likes to kill!!! In fact, he kind of derives some sadistic pleasure from it!!!

As for the Bond Girls!!! Hmmm.... Isn't the title Bond Girl compliment enough?
Over all a great flick and a nice watch. I strongly suggest you indulgence of this new installment of the Bond Franchise.
