I believe this movie had the most gorgeous cinematography I'd seen all year. The light play, colors and camera work was truly stand-out good.
The plot was exciting and engrossing. It got back to Bond's roots while shedding much of the "Bourne" rip-off scenes of the past (a few notable scenes not withstanding). 60% espionage, 40% intense action. That's how it should be.
Despite the complaints, I actually enjoyed the villain. While admittedly underdeveloped, he fit the motif of rebirth and resurrection extremely well. Without spoiling anything, his stubborn insistence on having been betrayed and needing revenge is a stark contrast to a 007 who finds himself in an extremely similar situation in the beginning of the film but puts his duties to Queen and Country above any feelings of betrayal he may harbor.
Overall, this is my favorite of the Daniel Craig era films. I highly recommend it to Bond fans new and old. The older fans in particular will be thrilled at all of the references to Bond's past as well as the ending that, while a bit clunky, should leave them giddy and their franchise well prepared for many years to come.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, gorgeous cinematography
Cons underdeveloped villain
Yes, I recommend this movie.
