To me, this balances what makes a perfect Bond film, well, perfectly. It doesn't do anything terribly unbelievable, but at the same time it knows when to have a little fun with the classic 007 tropes. Pierce isn't my favorite Bond in the franchise or anything, but I do still think he does a good job. You get both playful remarks from him as well as serious anger and sadness when it makes sense.
The villain, the Bond girl, and all the henchmen are also fantastic in this one. I like Sean Bean in just about everything, and his henchwoman Xenia Onatopp (Onatopp? On a top.) is so entertaining in every scene she's got. Let's not forget about Judi Dench as the new M though. She has very little screen time, but she owns that character right out of the gate. Glad we'll see her from many more films.
Oh, not sure if you've heard, but they made this video game based on this too. Might want to check it out if you have time.
