Great film! If you like Bond then go see it, it is worth the ticket price. (if you have any hesitations, go to the matinee, but you have to see it on the big-screen!)

The airplane action sequence was fantastic! Pure Bond!

Daniel Craig...... yummy!

"The Organization....." is wonderfully vague and terrifically evil in its presentation. And "we are everywhere."

But...... I have to agree with the critics on two counts:

First, what was with the strange flash-back sequences during the Opera scene? They didn't seem to flash back to anything important, at least not that I could figure out. It seemed like they took three ideas, tossed them into a blender and then poured out the results to film.

Second, what a strange place to put a hotel for the final action sequence. I think Ebert said it best, it is an escape for people who hate green things. "I, the evil and terribly bad guy, am going to build this eco-friendly hotel that uses hydrogen fuel-cells for power. And I will keep the fuel-cells in the garage where any random idiot parking a car can get to them. And, I am going to build it a million miles from anywhere. In the middle of a desert. In Bolivia. My Evil Plans are almost complete...... bwaaahaahaaahaaahaaa!"
