Have you seen it people? I've seen it last week here in Sweden, where its premiere was two weeks ahead of the US. But as much as I've been looking forward to the sequel of the brilliant "Casino Royale", I left the cinema with huge disappointment. I'm about to say it's among the worst bonds ever, only "Die Another Day" is worse (I tried and I tried but I really can't stand that one, though Brosnan is a great Bond). The action scenes were crap (no shot was longer than 1 second) and the story nearly not existing, plus he acted weirdly in some scenes (like saving the "bond" girl, only to hand her over to some random guy on the pier and then leave) or the thing with Matthis. Not going to spoil here. Not much of an explanation overall. No real atmosphere, no good flow, and pointless things all along the way. Looks unfinished, somehow rushed and given to the hands of a director who has never made an action movie before.
I have to admit that I might have lost a bit because watching it in english, but watching it in my native tongue it might only increase its quality about 10%. Yeah, it's that bad. Very strange, nothing compared to "Casino Royale". They should have taken the same director at least, and the script... it's just weird. Unworthy for a bond movie. My friend who was with me, also a huge Bond fan, called it the "worst movie ever". Which is of course a bit exaggerating, but expectations were high of course, as it wasn't a random action movie.
I'm going to watch it again though and I'm curious about your thoughts. On ImDb it got a 7,6 rating so far, which is surprisingly good.
