Surprisingly I really enjoyed this movie. It had an excellent plot and it was genuinely funny! Crow and Gosling have chemistry and I look forward to a sequel. The action was good and the movie was unpredictable which for movies like this is amazing. Go see it, you won't feel you got hosed and want your money back. The laughs are plentiful and very well done. Both Crow and Gosling are funny people. Some actors are just not funny such as Seth Rogan whom I find just plain stupid and vulgar. Comedy at it's best is about timing, like in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. This movie has a bit of that magic to it.

I was hoping for another Casino Royale but it was not to be. The song by Adele was the highlight of this Bond movie. A mindless plot, uninspired fight scenes, Judy Dench with lines that I'm sure she tried to forget. No tension, predictable twists, senseless violence and boring chase scenes that go on and on and on and on. The villain was a gay ponce who was about as menacing as Mr. Magoo, he did however tell an interesting rat story. Back in the old days you could go see a Bond movie at a drive in theatre. In-between necking bouts with your girlfriend you could keep up with the standard simple plot of Mad scientist tries to destroy or take over world. Back then you never noticed all the imperfections as you were usually distracted, now you sit and watch the whole thing and realize just how bad they are.
