The new actor was great, I was impressed at how he settled into such a well known role. There was a sense of history - this is where Bond came from after all.
You felt that he was working his way through situations, making decisions, not simply a smooth, scripted (and inevitably successful) character.
The rest of the movie however... The romantic scenes felt like they'd been written by Lucas. The action scenes felt like they were aiming to be out performed by every other Bond film ever. There were no gadgets, some pretty poor attempts at Bond girls, and there was no villain. That's right, there was no villain - you might think there is when you start watching it, but wait till the end, then see how you feel.
This is quite possibly, the worst Bond film ever.
The first ten minutes, they were awesome. Best chase scene ever. Watch that much (on TV, DVD, youtube - not at the cinema) and turn the movie off. You'll have had your introduction to the new character, without this terrible movie to put you off seeing the next one.
