I just watched the movie on DVD. 8 out of 10 (had it ended 20 minutes earlier, a 9).
It has much going for it--the best Bond movie since On Her Majesty's Secret Service, a realistic script, Daniel Craig as the best James Bond since Sean Connery, the best fight scenes in a Bond movie since the 1960s, no stupid gadgets, and for my money one of the best Bond girls in the series with Eva Green as Vesper Lynd.
What I didn't like: Too long. The ending (in some respects like the book's). The torture scene (though it's in the novel). James Bond almost as a hit man. And the accents of the actors at times making the lines difficult to understand.
