I was entirely disappointed with this installment of the 007 movies. They have done away with all the neat gadgets that Q would make for Bond. No bullet proof car. No mini mines. No nothing. They have stripped almost all the humor (there was only two laughs from the audience when I was there). Bond would charm the girls with a double entendre, trade barbs with the bad guys just before defeating them then go off with the girl. That is all gone. They changed the opening. The moving eye and Bond shooting is in the closing credits. The silhouetted girls swimming during the theme song is gone. There is no lead in we are just thrown into an action scene. I think that in the entire 2 hours there was about 10 minutes of dialogue. The rest was shooting, fighting, one car chase, a boat chase and a dogfight. Basically it is a generic action film script (think the Jason Bourne films). If that is your thing then this is your film. But if you are looking for a traditional Bond film stay away this ain't it.
