You're aware this is a Bond movie, right? This is the same series that cast Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist and gave us Grace Jones as a girl baddie.

I realize that, I was simply talking about the elements of the movie which kept it from being a masterpiece. (Or among my favorites for the year.)

It was still a good watch, though.

That's what I got from it, it felt a little too Home Alone. Instead of Bond being a badass and taking guys out with just his guns, he has Judy Dench stick some nails in a chandelier and flip the switch. While putting some shotgun shells underneath the floorboards for good measure.

You have to be kidding. The scenes in Scotland are a visual feast. Especially at night.

The same goes for the stuff at night in the high-rise building chasing the assassin. Just gorgeous to look at.

I think the cinematography was Oscar worthy. When Bond is approaching the casino on the boat was shot very well.

This movie is badass.

Spoiler!

Watched it last night, so now I'm clicking on the spoilers.

This was my exact complaint.

It was a good movie, but in the end

Another thing to consider about the ending

In any case you can't deny it was the right thing for the character to

I agree, but..

Finally saw it tonight. Really, really enjoyed it. Love how it basically completes a Bond Origin trilogy with Craig. They even tied it to the past with the office and leather door at the end. Then the gun barrel and Bond theme to close it out gave me full on wood!

About the only thing I didn't care much for was Bardems performance. It reminded me of Walkens over the top weirdo in View to a Kill.

So is Bond Bi? "How do you know this is my first time?"

I also thought that Mendez and the Writers underused Bardem's potential as a villain.

I probably clearly audibly heard 50% of Bardem's lines. And that's sad because I really wanted to hear what he had to say.

Oh.......classic how they brought back the old school Aston Martin, then used the grill guns to mow down an army of baddies. Sweeet!!! Even a funny reference to the ejection seat.

BTW, where do bad guys get a small army of thugs to be loyal to them and why do they remain loyal? Does the bad guy promise them an island of gold or something??
