Way way to long. Craig does an excellent job playing an aging supper spy but is almost lost in a sea of to many characters. Great Bond movies are contained and tense; the presence of the kid just makes it all kind of mushy. There are the expectedly cool gadgets and stunts but even the action/combat scenes go on to long. A film in desperate need of a good editor.

Craig to me never fit the role of Bond, and if they pick a black guy to be the next Bond, at least let him be what the original was, an educated man who seems to do more than just drive vintage Aston Martins.

Your wrong as usual. The writing of the movies has morphed, with Craig
in the lead they specifically wanted to make Bond more of an "action
hero." I can see why trying to outdo Sean Connery each time out was
pointless, and the first three Craigs were good, this was iffy. And too
long.

The first Craig movie as 007 was terrible.
