The acting is completely superb; Judi Dench, Daniel Craig et al really sell the movie.
The directing is strong too; Mendes really creates good pictures and I'll be surprised if some of the iconography doesn't start pitching up in the popular press anyday soon.
Adele's song is a great vehicle for the film and overall I really enjoyed it.
For me though, as I said at the top it is the performances that really carry the film. Javier Bardem adds some new colour to the franchise and is the best baddie that the Bond team have had for a while. Naomi Harris was absolutely delicious as Eva and it was probably good that some of the bump and grind from some of the earlier films has been consigned to history.
Bravo all round.
