Saw it today. Thankfully much better than the one dimensional Quantum and a lot closer in tone to Casino Royale, just a little less engaging. Was curious to see if they'd reveal the whereabouts of M White after Quantum...
Another reboot, or rather, this is a more typical Bond movie with winks to the series, and introduces the old characters of Q (a little odd to see a young Q...did John Cleese not want to be in this one ?) and Moneypenny. And finally a good Bond villain again. The "two sons" story worked well. Superb visuals in the opening credits (and the best Bond song since Goldeneye) and especially the Shanghai neon light fight sequence. And then there's the cianide effect on Silva's face...
One of the best, but the "best Bond ever" hype doesn't hold water. A little slow paced until Silva's breakout in London, and a little too busy being nostalgic about being Bond. That said...Craig continues to own the role.
