I just saw this too...I prepared myself by watching Casino Royale on video on Demand just before the new movie. That was not much help. Despite a number of favorable reviews I thought this movie was much inferior to Casino Royale. First, any good Bond movie has a villan the audience loves to hate (aka Auric Goldfinger)===but this movie's villan was a wimp not worhy of the title-- plus a henchman or woman (aka Odd Job, Jaws or May Day) plus some beautiful woment in skimpy bathing suits or elegant gowns. Mostly this movie had average looking women dressed like peasants. And the plot stunk, if there was one. So many people were revealed to be on both sides it was impossible at the end to determine the good guys from the bad guys. I fear we were left in the dark on this for many characters as a setup to the sext movie in the series. Finally, the poker game was really the centerpiece of Casino Royale, but this movie lacked a centerpiece of any sort, just a bunch of unrelated and ill conceived chase and fight scenes.

In short, I had NO fun at this movie..and that is saying somehing for a guy who generally loves Bond. I still like Craig as Bond, but he had nothing here to work with in terms of story line.

They would have been better off picking another 60s Connery bond movie and remaking/updating that.
