| As far as bond films go how would you rate it? |

Quoted: 6.7/10 It got a .7 increase because they had the dual barrel 1911 in it  http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/79/590x/secondary/James-Bond-258556.jpg |

Just finished watching it. I agree with most posters that is was average at best. First half kind of slow, second half picks up the pace quite a bit.
Very typical plot, but then again, how many Bond plots are there? The commies were always the bad guys in the early films until the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Super criminals with dreams of world domination are his nemesis now. One of the things missing from this one is the spectacular opening scene, you know, like diving over a cliff without a parachute and climbing into a pilotless plane and pulling it out of a nose dive at the last possible second; the blown up building in Mexico City just didn't do it for me. I like watching Christoph Waltz and listening to his weird accent. He will always be the sadistic SS colonel from Inglorious Basterds to me. I did like the VZ58 action and Bond women are always fine as frog hair. 
We all have our favorite Bond actors based on our age. Mine is the original, Sean Connery.
