Actually saw that yesterday as I wanted a movie to plug off. Haven't seen any Bond with Craig before, and thought he himself was pretty solid. The action and the first half of the movie in general had solid pace, original Bond adventure feel, fight scenes had great choreography.
But then in the second half it sort of lost pace and had too many goofs, shortcuts, unconvincing moments or dialogues, trying too hard at times, at the edge of a parody.
Most of all considering the production costs must have been astronomic, there's too many high level environments / plot opportunities / characters that don't deliver anything but a few minutes of simplified half assed action.
Plus what I loathe in general, too much CGI, you could recognize immediately when one walks on an artifically inserted surface, against artificial background, using it in a car chase is a total blasphemy - a proper car chase can only be realistic using real cars and real stunts, you have to "feel" the tires and metal scratching the surface etc..
Anyway, I'll most likely check the previous Craig ones too.
