Slow, boring, overrrated? Are you sure you and I watched the same movie?
I haven't read the original Flemming novel, tough the point is this is the first novel of the Bond series where Bond was first granted 00 status, before Moneypenny, Q, the gadgets, etc.
Good movie, perhaps by far the best Bond movie since the Connery era, IMO. Less gadgets from taking-over the story and action, no same tired plots like satelites with frikin' laser beams and egomanical billionares wanted to rule the world, and no BS like stealth-surfing into N.Korea, ice palaces, and running away from melting glaciers.
I liked Craig in Layer Cake, yet I had my reservations about him getting the part as 007. After seeing this I say he kicked ass, much better than I thought he would, giving Bond more of a (darker) personality and emotion. After all the bashing he has gotten in the media, I think he need to be owed an apology for people doubting him. That said, I'm really eager for Bond 22.
