I really enjoyed NTTD but yeah this had Dark Knight Rises' fingerprints all over it, lol. He was quitting things left and right with barely the slightest shreds of incentive to do so. Instantly assume that a ****y trap from a worldwide criminal organization had to have been initiated by your wife who's had countless opportunities to kill you in your sleep? Um okay James just throw your entire life away without spending a single millisecond to think that through, lol.
And yes this movie might not have had the best quality of action (pretty sad that Bond still can't compare to True Lies 25 years later) but it certainly had a high quantity of action which helped the pacing despite the long run time.
