I was pleasantly surprised by the film. I went in with low expectations, but besides the Bourne-style shaky cam and the theme song, I liked it. Would I prefer a complete return to the old days of Bond? Sure. But the way the film ended, it seemed to be telling us Bond was back, and that left me pumped.
Also, I keep hearing people thought the villain was crap. I liked Dominic Greene! His plan wasn't very outlandish, but he seemed suitably psychotic, and that last fight scene at the hotel thingamajig really stood out for me.
I'd give it a 7/10. Not the best Bond by any means and it still hasn't quite gotten back to the Bond we love, but I can appreciate the producers taking time to give a solid origin story.
