Ever go to a movie, expecting one thing, and totally seeing something else. This happened when I went to see Quantam of Solace. Not the best action movie I've ever seen, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed the stylized fighting over the "Grab the book next to me and shove it down your throat" style fighting found in the Bourne movies. The score was good, beautifully complimenting the movie, but not memorable.
But what really surprised me was the comedy. I went into this movie expecting "Let's see Daniel Craig launch an Aston Martin off of a cliff", and instead I watched an Act-com. My (I hope original) term along the lines of Rom-com, and Act-com is an Action movie with so many humorous bits thrown in, you have to give the writers some credit. The sparks flying between Judy Dench's "M" and Bond was so superbly written, I think the action scenes could've been terrible, and I would've still enjoyed the movie. The action scenes were, however, well filmed, and made the comedy a sweet bonus.

My almost exact words put into your mouth, sent through your keyboard, and sent through wires to this computer monitor. In other words: if we we were playing a matching game and my opinion was put on a card, and your opinion was put on a card, and they were both drawn it would be a match. In other words: If your opinion was a human being and it looked into a mirror, my opinion would be it's reflection. In other words: exactly what I would write as my review.
