Setting expectations up in the clouds so that they inevitably come crashing down. I've heard that the new contains a lot of gratuitous violence, which seems to me to be a promising start to a Bond film :) -Dane, Grr, I hate it when reviews do that.

This one is a perfect compliment to the first. But I had been reading reviews saying that this one was so much better than Casino Royale, and since that wasn't the case there was bound to be some disappointment even though it was flippin sweet.

I think the song Chris Cornell put together for Casino Royale was great, but this one seems to have faltered. I just can't believe that the man responsible for "Ball and Biscuit" could have had a hand in this song! This appears to be consistent with your review that this movie does not quite hold its own against it predecessor. I'm sure it's still awesome, though, and I can't wait to see it! -Dane, Isn’t that a disappointment!!

End is fine. More than anything else, the title sequence in this one wasn't as good as Casino Royale. Casino Royale's seemed to have a lot more structure and a lots less repetition. The credits reflect the songs and vice versa.

What do you think about the Jack White/Alicia Keys collab? Am I just a fusty old music snob? -Dane, thanks for the report from the front lines.

Awesome movie. Not better than Casino Royale, but that set a high bar. Just got back. Awesome movie. Not better than Casino Royale, but that set a high bar.
