I liked it for what you said plus: the old Bond Astin Martin and the general gritty & dark nature of most of the film. And additionally....
"I don't believe we have have been formally introduced."
"...My name is Eve, Eve Moneypenny." :D
One last thought: Ralph Fiennes as the new M, awesome!
i really liked that it was about the job, not so much about the bond, you know? about his relationship with M, his age and even with his villain, who was also about the job. i think my favourite scene in the whole movie (maybe) was:
[spoil]the killing of that guy from turkey in shanghai, in the glass box skyscraper, with all the weird lights reflecting off the glass. breathtakingly beautiful and really amazing cinematography.[/spoil]
one criticism i've heard and understand is : too much batman. too much of the joker in mr. silva, etc. i didn't personally think so, but whatever.
