Good, fun, not great. I do look forward to another installment, because I'm a sucker for the franchise and I think Craig may be the best Bond yet

any card game is boring to watch on screen .. and it was the majority of the book .. i thought they did a great job.
i thought the female lead was miscast ..i didnt like her look or delivery (she was pretty - but there was something missing) .. as well as the far more beautiful 'married gal' (she couldnt act but she was gorgeous)
i liked the villian ... very low key and not as cartoonish as what we're used to .. more manacing and real in my eyes.
the shortcomings of this film were so minor to me i overlooked them with no effort.
i didnt find any part of the film slow - i liked the character developement.
it did have a bit of 'lord of the rings-itis' where it kept going whenever you thought it had ended .. but i was enjoying it so i was glad it kept going.
this is the Bond that Ian Fleming wrote ... brutal and cruel.
