From the start, I'd just like to say that this is one of the best DVDs for special features, making it good value for money, even at the full retail price. However, for me, the film was ultimately disappointing. It is a Bond Films in every sense of the term, but for some reason it seems really flat. You will watch it once, and I guarantee you will like it - but I doubt you'll want to watch it again, it just doesn't have that re-watchable appeal. I mean, the acting isn't exactly memorable, and after 20 or so Bond films, the story and action is all too predictable. It's only redeeming factors are the big explosions and chase scenes, which are slightly more imaginative than most Bond films. It would be nice to think that Bond could keep going from strength to strength, and you think it would when you consider the amount of money which goes into the making of each one - but after so many films, it looks like a dying franchise, and this film does very little to revive it. However it's definitely not the worst of the series by any means, and is a good addition to anyones collection, even if it's just for the extra features.
