There is only one negative and that is the length... it did not bother me, but my husband thought it could have 10 min taken out. But I thought the acting, stunts, reference to the previously existing Bond genre, all really good. I rate a movie by how well I forget my daily life and am absorbed into the movie. I was completely absorbed and thoroughly entertained. After all, that is what going to the movies are all about!!!! Entertainment. I do not try to find special meaning or ascribe social statements to movies. I want to be entertained at the theater, not schooled. I recommend this Bond very highly!!
