the chase scenes, both on foot and in automobiles was very hard to follow and much too choppy. the viewer doesnt need to be right in the 'face' of the actors. it doesnt add anything to 'seem' like you are sitting right next to, or running right next to, the actors. reminds me of the old '3-stooges short films' where they try to make you believe the object is coming right toward you. the storyline was good, but as others have said, what happened to the old bond 'style' of trying to outthink or outtalk the enemy, instead of simple 'action fighting' scenes?? my guess is the film writers and directors are trying to appeal too much to the younger, video game crowd.
i'd only give it 2 stars max. definitely NOT a 2 thumbs up movie. has a FEW funny scenes, but the movie drags quite a bit. couple of very nice looking half naked women in it though...
