I actually liked it more when I watched it the first time. Making Blofeld Bond's stepbrother was a bad idea. So is throwing him into a hurried relationship with a girl he barely met. For which he wants to throw his old life away. Seems he has forgotten Vesper after all. And since there is another Bond, and probably more to come after that, it's hardly convincing anyway.
Overall it was still entertaining but I felt like they borrowed from almost every Bond movie. Evertyhing felt like it has been done before. From the stunts to the sets.
And a note on the techical side: maybe I configured my home cinema the wrong way but the score was much to present in this movie. A car chase isn't really exciting if you can't hear the engines over the music.
I rated it a seven but it really is more of a high six.
