the repetitive nature of the kill shots at the end became boring; how many far heavier cars can be victimized by side-swiping from an Asian SUV? (obviously, quite a few...); the plot was needlessly confusing; the super villain could have used more screen time pre-climax; that "new" 007 looks like she needs a new trainer: whatever she's doing, it ain't working--- agents gotta be lean and mean. Finally, when that cool-as-ice new Cuban female agent left the screen, the film lost a lot of its allure...
Still, it's a must-see film for Bond enthusiasts. B- to C+.
The biggest problem: WAY too damned long. Inevitably, these kinds of films get flaccid when they stretch much over 90 minutes, or so.
