text: I thought it was great! A good change from the last couple that rely more on graphics and futuristic gadgets. A real hard hitting back to basics bond; just what they needed. I did think the slightly longer start was right though with the film showing how he became 007, so there was some justification to having it. I do agree the ending did seem to go on a bit.. I'm going to have to see it again soon. Loved the poker, stunts and the new gritty Bond character.
