The movie is better than you've heard, although that's not saying a lot.

This keeps one reasonably amused, titillated, and brain-dead for a little over two hours.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Sees 007 undone by villainous scripting and misguided casting and acting in a couple of key secondary roles.
Todd McCarthy, Variety

Apted ensures it all passes by efficiently enough. And his extraordinarily well staged opening salvo is one of the most impressive Bond sequences yet.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Fresh
A thoroughly satisfying, completely entertaining film that's also, rather surprisingly, an emotionally full experience.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
