I enjoyed the fact that it is a James Bond Film as I am a MAJOR James Bond Fan (mostly the older stuff though) but I found it too slow paced at times and filled with a lot of cr@p stunts (some were good but most were rubbish),an ugly Bond Girl hock: and a pointless poker session.

25% liked it, 75% hated it Honestly

At least this James Bond wasn't a joke. It didnt have an invisible car, he didnt surf and Bond actually bled. In that crane scene you could see Bond was out of his depth so there's a bit of realism in the unrealistic.

It had to change or else the franchise would have died in another few films. To me this felt like a completely new franchise and I think Craig is on a par with Connery. Too many traditionalists out there need to move on. In comparison to the last few Bonds, then I'd give it 10/10. And for the record he shouldn't have swerved and it doesnt say much for that Aston's road holding abilities that it went over like an A Class lol.

Was I the only one who found the Mondeo bit incredibly funny?

You mean when he appeared to pay the other man to get rid of it, only to be handed a nice V8 Range Rover? Yes, I know it was a parking attendant, but have you even seen a man exit a car so fast

Product placement not obvious? You are kidding me, right? There was a Jaguar in almost every damned scene (I expected Jags in venice at one point) and the watch that was supposed to beat a Rolex was pure product placement made passive. The ones we know about like the Mondeo, computer and mobile were flogged to death at every chance.

Give me an invisible Aston Vanish any day.

I thought it was good, especially after Die Another Day, which was awful. I saw Casino Royale yesterday - I was impressed that it wasn't all gadgets, cars and explosions - there actually was a plot, and quite a good one too.

Bond's flat-line scene was stupid though.
1. He put the defibrillator pads in the wrong place
2. A flat line is death. You cannot shock a flat line. it will achieve absolutely nothing.

The phone was flogged to death rather too much . I would have thought Bond would have something better than a Sony Erricsson.

The product placements are something which put me off even further, am I supposed to be watching a feature film or a 2 hour advert here?

The more subtle placements, like for Virgin Atlantic, weren't too bad
