It seemed many didn't care that they had departed from the original formula, many loved the fact that they saw a Bond truer to Flemmings original writings, hard, gritty, yet deeply sensitive.

I seriously can't wait to see this film now.

Yes, also here is some more confirmation of what you say:-

I too am getting really hyped about this film, and I have always thought that Daniel Craig will do a good job as bond. One of the critics on the BBC link says that it is the ''best film since Goldeneye'': this is also music to my ears: I absolutely loved Goldeneye - easily pierce brosnans best film.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You currently have pierce brosnan as your avatar, yet he also went for the ''pun-heavy'' approach you appear to dislike.

Yes, I realize they were shooting for a more "realistic" Bond, but they've done that before and had larger-than-life villians.

That is exaclty what I (and others) thought shortly after seeing the film; the villian was a little bit bland and uninspiring. I think they intended this though as we are being introduced to bond at a time when his missions aren't as large scale as they will eventually become.

I expect the next film to have a much larger scale mission/villian, without it being over of course (like Die Another Day).

There's nowhere I can't reach.
