Re: After reading your laundry list......

Clearly there is a double standard with James Bond films that I am missing - they are held up to the treatment of Academy award nominated dramas like Citizen Kane and not compared directly to films like Die Hard, or the latest Vin Diesal or Steven Segal kinds of films.

James Bond films use so many convenient plot devices because without them there would be no film. The character is as preposterous as Superman and so like Superman he overcomes the plot. Well if you liked the movie -- if not you hold it up to some higher level of expectation. Within it's own sub genre of Bond films - it is clearly the smartest one, the best character arc in more than 20 years. The dialogue between Vesper and Bond is as good as Golfinger's Pussy Galore. The Chemistry is overblown - this Bond has yet to find his debonair qualities - remember it is Bond just gettin his double 0 status. He's a rookie and Craig played it like that very well. I am in the vast mjority of film experts and critics who think Craig will be the best Bond of the lot. He's certainly the best Actor to play the part since Sean Connery and many critics think Craig is the better actor! I would not go quite that far yet.
