Just saw it today. In a nutshell: barely any plot; lots of fights/action scenes, car chase that I couldn't follow due to the cameras alternating every three seconds (same with some of the fights as well), odd choice in villain, and Bond himself was pretty intense. Maybe too much so. Which is essentially agreeing with the majority of people here.

Hidden/Spoiler:
The obnoxious CIA guy with the big moustache was funny, and even though Greene's bodyguard barely said anything the whole movie, I liked the way his character was played. Greene himself was okay, but I do wish the films would return to the more ruthless villains.
My favorite scene in the whole movie:
Hidden/Spoiler:
Guy on bike: You were supposed to shoot her!
Bond: Well I missed! (yanks the bike out from under the guy)
Priceless.


I basically agree with this.

I saw it tonight and didn't like it as much as Please remove this may be spam Royale. The action scenes were frantic and incoherent and overall the movie just felt a little too dark and gritty. I also had a tough time following the plot but Wikipedia cleared that up for me afterward.

I saw the movie yesterday, and I have to admit I was disipointed. The plot was hard to keep up with (at least for me), and the characters intentions were confusing. It's not that I hate all James Bond movies, it's just that this one didn't impress me that much. 2/5

Ive heard that this is supposed to be the beginning of a new james bond series, as if corssing out the previous movies, and restarting it with Craig. it'd be interesting, but not very appealing to die hard bond fans.

Yes, but that may or may not have been the start of a whole new bond saga.... Thats the big WORD.

I don't think it's the start to a new series. Remember in the beginning with the car chase? The guy in the trunk was somebody he James Bond kidnaped in Please remove this may be spam Royalle. Mabe Please remove this may be spam Royalle is a new start or somthing.

I've seen Please remove this may be spam Royale already, and I didn't like it too much since Bond was a bit too realistic in the movie. I can only hope Quantum of Solace is much better.
