I felt like too much was made of the many bond references(which weren't entirely over my head), the humour was excruciatingly dry, and the character of M being a central part of the plot a huge mistake.

I didn't hate the movie, but man, was I disappointed with it. If you're going to go in a darker direction with your franchise, make it worthwhile and not just an excuse to have a shallow lead character... These last 3 films have been heavily inspired by the Bourne franchise, but they have never achieved the depth of that character...
It's still one of the best looking films of the year though, so that's something.
Just wanted to add, that adding people's breath digitally always looks terrible, for example Social Network.

I agree with you. Most people think I hated it because in my review I slam it hard. But honestly, I'm just really disappointed with it. The Bourne movies are definitely what this is trying to be, but since that's the case, just watch the Bourne movies again. In fact I think I will.
