...overall I agree, but..........

...I am slightly amused at the author's choosing 'Die Hard' fight scene as an example of 'good' action scene.

Better example would have been final fight scene in 'Wild Bunch'.

Also, I disagree on his criticism of 'Quantum of Solace' opening scene:

"Consider how relentless machine-gun fire, roaring engines and bursting metal dominate the opening of Marc Forster’s James Bond entry, Quantum of Solace. The scene’s dense sound effects track fills in the gaps left by its vague and hyperactive visuals."

I liked the scene, and I liked it because the scene was not simply being hyperkinetic just for the sake of it, it was trying to set the mood for the new kind of enemy 007 is set to fight. The previous 007 films have been going too 'cute', too stagnant for the villains, it was set to be a re-boot.
