It was a decent movie, but not a good Bond movie, if that makes any sense.
I think thats why the movie is so good. He is no longer a superhero but at the same time he is still James Bond.
It is nice that they tried something different this time around, but honestly, I found myself bored with it a couple of times. There was way too much poker and the main plot wasn't really any kind of mastermind scheme at all, just dirty money changing hands. There was no Q or anything like it also. There are a ton of movies out there that involve the "troubled" action hero that is also an average type of person. Its not like you go see a Jet Li movie to watch Li fall in love, you know?

It wasn't a bad movie per se, but I felt disappointed in a way after it was over. It felt like I watched a decent action/drama movie, not a Bond movie.
