007 is back! But without the bang...

Saw the new 007 movie (Casino Royale) today.

1) Eva Green is looking amazing... blue-green eyes and red lips. Amazing.
2) The chase sequence in the beginning (when 007 is chasing the bomb maker) is superb. Something unique in Bond movies.
3) Movie becomes like a romantic movie once Bond wins the game for a bit. This unecessarily lengthens the movie and reduces the pace of the story.
4) The title song (always something to watch out for in a Bond movie) disappoints and the opening sequence looks like something from a cartoon (bright colours, cartoon characters and no girls) rather than from a Bond movie (sexy colours, girls, smooth feel).
5) The famous Bond gadgets are missing! Nothing impressive with respect to technology.
