Really disliked the film. The screenplay was poorly written, and the action ended up being a lot like a Rambo movie in the last few scenes. It ended up being totally unrealistic and ungraceful as a spy film with 20 mercenaries fighting 2 people holed up in a house.
How many references to "evil" and "shadow" were there? As if the audience needed their hands held to get it.
Some of the editing felt awkward and out of place.
And my last complaint was the direction under Sam Mendes. He clearly has attempted to bring the Bond franchise back into the comical and nostalgic era, which has undone everything that was great about the precedent set in Casino Royale.
Yes, the car was cool, but it's the 21st century, and we don't need to see two machine guns coming out of the headlights anymore.
Aside from that, the passing of M was well done, Javier Bardem was awesome as usual, and the angle of Bond getting too old for the game was interesting.
