Javier Bardem is a classic Bond villain, maybe the best yet.

It suffered from a few serious problems, imo. One as has been said, is the massive suspension of disbelief required to accept the plot twists. It is a Bond movie, sure, but it was a pretty serious one for how silly some of the sequences were. Also, the main theme was James Bond being an outdated dinosaur and yet the movie pushed his world backwards to fit his outdated MO. Women were more disposable than they've been in years, the one female field agent was so incompetent, she almost killed Bond and became Moneypenny, M went back to being male (not that I have a problem with that, Ralph Fiennes is going to be ****ing perfect). It just seemed that the movie want sure what it was trying to do with the world or Bond.
That said, it was entertaining, which I know is the point. (I've seen every Bond film and am a huge fan) It was a solid Bold and fun to watch. It just seemed, with the talent assembled, it could have been more.
