Not the best Bond, but certainly not bad.

Not the greatest Bond, but good enough. I still like the raw action and crude attitude of Daniel Craig's Bond. What I don't necessarily care for is the plot. It seems to me that in the older Bonds they fought against something that would put the world in imminent danger. In this Bond, he fought against a man who was going to overcharge a dictator for water. I realize that lives would be at risk, but it just didn't do it for me. Plus, there wasn't any real climax. It felt like it could have ended at any moment.
Asides from the primary story, I still think this was a good movie. The action was great, Bond eluded to his womanizing side and you can start to see the road that they are going down with this Bond series.

It's more like Goldfinger: if you make US gold radioactive, you make a profit. They could've made a Bond film about raising oil prices (instead of water) but that wouldn't have been subliminal enough. The real enemy, after all, is the Shadowy World Government -- the QoS -- which harkens back to S.P.E.C.T.E.R.
