The problem, however, is that this movie just tries to pack too much into its runtime; too much if the action from the source book on which it is based, with the result that the characters never really seem to develop all that much and, in some cases, are given short shrift (which is why I feel a series would have been better).
Good effect, though.

This is a great film everyone will enjoy and Bond fans will love. It has all the best Bond elements. Exotic locations, amazing Aston Martin cars including the classic DB5. Great action scenes, gadgets and awesome Bond girls. Special mention for Ana de Armas kicking butt while in a cocktail dress and heels.
The storyline is typically Bond as well, complete with an evil villian and cool hideout. It has a lot of elements to other Bond films whether by location, Car, songs that will ring bells for those who are big fans. A nice touch.
Probably Craig's best outing in the Bond role signing off in style. Catch it at the cinema!
