The whole Jinx part is underplayed plotwise, also the substories
I actually heard that they might spin off the Jinx character into her own movies.....

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.
Yeah, he really got his ass whupped in this movie, but he came back every time. Great sword fight though...I agree. That villain that played the other sword-fighter was such a little shit I wanted Bond to just strangle him already....what else has that guy been in? He looks familiar.

I loved the car chase scene, actually...
My main peeve was the directing. They sprinkled in these cool shots once in a while (during the car scene, is one example). They either needed to just do it that way throughout the movie (like in the "Charlie's Angels" movie - I loved that directing) or just stick to the regular directing. I would like to see Robert Rodriguez or the guy that directed "Charlie's Angels" do a Bond movie just for a change....someone who can do action a little better, in my opinion....
The plot was kind of weak (all that effort just to blow up some mines?).....but I like the movie anyway. Fun movie!
