So, it's a Bond film and I'll give a lot, but the bad guy had positively Xanatos levels of planning. I can believe he blew the hole in the tunnel causing the train to fall in just to cover his tracks and not because he planned for Bond to be chasing him at that point but still -- just ludicrous amounts of precison planning on the whole thing.
The other thing is...the bad guy won. He didn't achieve his aims on his own terms, but his goal was still fulfilled. Not cricket.
But I love the fact that the whole Penny/Bond relationship is predicated on her having shot him, which makes the banter in those older movies take on a whole new edge (and may explain why he was always ducking her in those older films -- didn't want to get shot again).
