I attended a sneak preview yesterday evening. It was pretty good as action flicks go. Lots of explosions, fighting, chasing, tension. But the plot was difficult to follow and the pacing was strange to me. I did like how they abandoned lots of cheesy one-liners, and they tried to humanize Bond too, like in the first film. All in all, worth the time.

I wouldn't say it was better than Casino Royale, but I'd put it in the top third of Bond movies.

See I have heard that as action flick it's good. But for a Bond film it's not what it should be. I hope it surprises me. I had very low expectations for Casino Royale after the last Brosnan Bond movie.

Goldeneye was very good but the Brosnan movies went downhill from there.
