I concur with Greg 100%. It didn't live up the Casino, but it's easily the next best Bond flick in the last decade (and I only say that because of Michelle in Tomorrow - I'd have to go back to Never say never for another Bond I enjoyed as much and that was a whopping quarter century ago). It was very entertaining. The cinematography was too frenetic, which, like Bourne, was a shame since the choreography and stunts were there. I wish I saw Casino just before it because I didn't really remember all the carry-over characters. I'm finally warming up to Dench as M. I still enjoy Craig as Bond. The title song almost worked for me, but not quite. As for the title itself, they'll get more complaints about Risico and The Hildebrand Rarity. The complainers should really read the books - in order no less. The books are tremendous (but I doubt I have to lecture DOOM about that).
