Despite showcasing some of the most mouth-watering chase scenes (particularly the opening chase with parkour originator, Sebastién Foucan, and Craig doing most of the stunts himself), this Bond film was a more thoughtful one.

One is the Bond character himself (played with edgy grit by tautly coiled Daniel Craig) and how the other characters were portrayed (especially Bond Girl,Vesper Lynd, superbly played by Eva Green but with no revealing cleavage) the second is the lack of Bond clichés, such as the techno-gadgetry, non-stop action, womanizing and comic-book humour. Of those in the negative camp there appear to be two major reasons for rejecting this lastest version of Bond.
