I saw this and had mixed reviews.
Spoilers Below....
The movie is pretty long, and drags at some points. The directors cut would be something to watch. The whole Jinx part is underplayed plotwise, also the substories, like M's feelings on the traitor buisness, the traitor her self and the gene replacement therapy. On the plus side this has one of the best choregraphed fight scenes ever, the sword fight. Bond is beaten in a fight to many times though. The whole movie is a tribute to the previous ones. The part that I didn't like is the car chase, witnessed in Diamonds are Forever, Q Branch is very far ahead of the competition, but the modified Jaguar has just as many advances as the Vanquish, which is a kickass car, cloaking included. The last thing I didn't like about it was that John Cleese is playing a character named Q, not R like in TWINE.
What did you guys think?
