I need to see it again to make a fair judgement but right now I am thinking it is one of the best bond films ever. Up there with Dr No and From Russia With Love (both of which stuck to the books religiously).
Right now I'm thinking that they should remake the other 18 Bond films, this time keeping all of the Fleming bits in. This film is superb!
And at this early stage I'm finding Craig more impressive then Connery and the rest. Dalton tried to carve his Bond from the books but it just wasn't right. Craig seems to fit perfectly. Quality!

Brian de la Palma goes down in this movie. He usually has a fair amount of suspense, but in this one, there is no such thing at all! Boring, bad acting (Josh Hartnett, please) and way too long. Nice shots sometimes, some interesting characters getting killed halfway the script and no Scarlet boobies.
