IMAX
This one had me on board from the beginning scenes in Mexico City. And the movie continued to speed forward from there on.

What...?!!, the end of the 00 service!. Can't be!
What...?!, 009 gets the DB10, not Bond!! Unforgivable. I'm pretty certain all of the chase scenes with the DB10 were greatly improved by the simple knowledge that Bond had had the audacity to steal that vehicle. It reminds me of that old phrase; 'Drive it like you stole it'. He did.

The scenes with Monica Belucci, too short. This actress is a bit past her peak, but still looks great up on that large screen. But quickly we forget her as the game is afoot and, not long after, we get introduced to another Bond femme-fatale.

Where did we travel in this movie....
Mexico City
London
Rome
Austria (high up in the Alps)
Morocco (Tangiers), then the Desert
London, again. Viewers are going to need a passport for this film. Lots of stamps are to be added to that little booklet.

Action sequences first class throughout. And there was no end to the action sequences until just before the credits ran. Every scene counted.

One really bad-ass giant of a bad guy. (Bautista) If you're gonna shoot this one, you'll need an elephant gun.

Moneypenny. (Naomi Harris).

How many remember her from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. She was the Witch, whom we first met in the first Pirates film, that teams up with our protagonists in that franchise.
Anyway, I think she makes an excellent addition to the Bond franchise. I hope she continues to be a regular.

What a welcome distraction from a rainy afternoon.
I found nothing odd or weird-vibe in this film. I bought everything in this film as if it rang true for me. And I did stay around for the credits to roll and caught the last message; "James Bond Will Return"

Re: Craig; does he quit the franchise or does he return for another outing? I suspect we might be being fed some hype on the part of marketers to heighten awareness of this film while it is in theaters.

Highly recommended.
