I loved the movie.  It wasn't perfect, but it was definitely entertaining.  Bond is finally a complex character!  Woo!

I'm actually going to go see it again Thanksgiving weekend.  It's definitely worth the ten bucks.

While I too thought that this was a let down after the last, I did enjoy the subtle growth of Craig's Bond in this one. This generation of the franchise truly has potential if they can get the writing and plot back on par with Casino.

No Q in this "Bond" movie, to me that just makes it "The Bourne Solace"  >:(

An endless melee of fighting, car chases, too-close camera shots, and boring dialogue. The plot was weak, and (perhaps I am just being a bit dense here) I still don't know what the title had to do with the story. The acting wasn't bad, but the plot was weak and it was a little overwhelming (not in a good way).
