The way that my S.O. put it to me after watching--and I'm inclined to agree--was that it seemed like every scene ran just a little longer than it really needed to. Maybe a lot longer. There was some sort of protracted "action" scene that ended with a plane blowing up...am I remembering correctly? At any rate I can't remember if there was a point to it. Heaven help me, though, I liked the song. Well, I didn't like it exactly. But there was some "retro" feel to it that appealed to me. It was a male equivalent to Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger", which is also not a good song, but stylistically perfect for a Bond movie.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('15029','monoceros4'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('15029','monoceros4','Eh...I partly agree, partly not.

I've been a fan of the Ian Fleming novels for years. For once, we get the real James Bond. Not the crappy substitute from the past 17 movies. The good movies died with Goldfinger.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('16','Jerry Allen'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('16','Jerry Allen','Totally disagree.
