I'm in Dublin at the moment and saw it a few days ago. A v good entry in the Bond saga. Will avoid providing spoilers here. The only thing I'll say is that I was enjoying the divergence from tradition that the Craig era brought with it, but at the end it appears we are taking a sharp turn back towards tradition for future movies. Mixed feelings about that.

Oh and watch for the spontaneous laugh out loud moment during the movie that involves the ejector seat button

I saw it Wednesday. The local AM dealer actually set up a premiere. Too bad the film didn't have the new Vanq in it. It was good, but I still prefer Casino Royale.

Had to butt in I have seen every 007 movie and most of them at the theatre since the 70s, Craig does a great job but I hope they dont stray to much from old format as it was classy while a little campy and unique.

Just got back form the theater...the movie was just ok...it had its moments but Casino Royale is still my favorite of the most recent 3 movies. Loved seeing the DB5.

Yanked my son out of school to go see it this afternoon. Casino Royale is still the best Craig Bond movie, but I really liked this one. Havier makes a great and believable villain. Some of the best cinematography in a Bond film ever.

Casino Royale was the best Graig Bond for me as well.
This one is good but great.
Not enough action for me.
A lot of time was spent setting the stage for the return of traditional Bond traits. I won't spoil it for others but you'll see. I did not like the bad guy. He was bad but not bad enough. More a helpless sicko who's personal pain got in the way of inflicting a reign of terror. He played the part of a boy mad at his mommy. What a joke. No world domination. No destroy the economy. His only goal was to kill his mommy. Someone get this guy a pacifier...or a chick.
I really perked up when I saw the old DB4 (or whatever DB it is). It was beautiful.

Went to the Midnight showing on Wednesday. Another classic Bond movie. Craig does put a different feel to Bond but you got to love him!

Saw it Thursday on IMAX...and loved it. Was a little sad that no new Aston Martin was included. It was definitely an improvement on Quantum.

Wonderful movie. Better in many ways to any 007 movie in decades. Perfect in its intent. Only thing missing was having Sean Connery as the care taker.
