I agree. I won't see it until Monday after work, but didn't these people learn anything from Casino Royale? That was Bond being Bond. Going out, womanizing, gambling, and they actually made Bond into an interesting character. The tension in the poker game was much more interesting than any of the action scenes Bond has been in in recent memory.

And what is with disguising these obvious iconic villains? Everyone knew Christoph Waltz was Blofield. Everyone knew that Benedict Cumberbatch was Khan. Why was Guy Pierce the Mandarin? Will they just play these villains straight. We all know what should be going on, and you're just insulting the fans intelligence by doing anything else.
