I got to see this in an advance screening tonight instead of waiting for tomorrow when it opens.

It wasn't bad. I enjoyed it.
However, if you don't pay attention, you can get VERY confused. They toss little tidbits of info to the viewer that make ALL the difference in knowing what's going on. You miss one of them, and you wonder why he doesn't care that a certain guy got shot.

The ending is kind of abrupt, but since it's leading into the next movie, it makes sense that some of the bad guys had to be left around.

Our theatre got quite a few laughs from the movie, but if you've got a more reserved theatre, perhaps they won't be as funny.

Ebert's review said it was a bit more action movie and a little less Bond movie, I tend to agree although I really enjoyed it. I had no problem following the storyline even though I never found the time to re-watch the previous movie (this one starts one hour after the end of the last).

This doesn't spoil anything but just to be safe will keep it vague... The entire (Canadian) audience got quite the laugh at the Canadian saying "Thank-you" to Bond.

Yeah, that got the biggest laugh from our audience too.

I didn't know whether it had anything to do with Canadians, or whether it was just funny in that situation to thank him.

In our theatre, as she said "thank-you" a bunch of people muttered "Cdns" under their breathe and that's what started the laughing. LOL But you are right, it would be funny situationally (I am making up my own words now) too.

No laughs in my theatre. It was only about a quarter full too, which surprised me, I thought it would be busier.

I wasn't too keen on the last movie but this one was better. Not good, imo, but better, and definitely better than I feared (I mostly only remember the torture form the last one, and I didn't like that at all).

I thought the "thank you" was an appropriate thing to say. But then I'm a Brit, and we're polite.

Good movie. Our theatre was full, went last night. Craig's a decent Bond even if he is blond. I loved the end the most though.

A friend of our's went to see this last night and he said it was more like a Modicum of Mediocrity. LOL

Saw this last night to make the dh happy. I don't know why they have to make this new Bond so unlikeable. There's not a single thing about him to like, he's not funny, he's not charming, he's not suave. The two Bond girls are beautiful. The story - meh. The villain was sufficiently creepy. HATED the Bond theme. Worst I've ever heard, and that's saying something.

It's an action flick, as stated above. I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it either. Colossus liked it after they cut out the crazy camera work, but it wasn't nearly as compelling as the first Daniel Craig Bond movie.
