Today I went to see the new James Bond movie. Not as good as Casino Royale, the one that introduced Daniel Craig as the new Bond, but pretty good anyway. Perhaps a few too many vehicle chases, and for a bit of plot confusion, neither of which kept me from enjoying watching Craig, the two new Bond girls, and the evil machinations of the bad guys. And the loose ends left by Vesper's death in the first movie are resolved.
Oddly, the poster of the movie with the woman on the left and Bond on the right, is the opposite configuration of the actual movie.... weird that.

I loved the opera house scene too. Yes, a few too many chase scenes, and the hydrogen-hotel blowing up all over the place harked back to cheesey-era James Bond (when the secret hideway always had to blow up). It didn't help that I'd just had fire safety training at work, which told me that they'd have been dead in two minutes from the smoke.
But still. There was no way it could surpass Casino Royale, so I think it did almost as well as I could have hoped.

I especially enjoyed the ongoing nods to the Connery films. The past was acknowledged in a generally creative manner which maintained interest.

Somewhere off-camera Sean Connery cries "Splendid!"
But Philip Seymour Hoffman perhaps felt a fowl...
