Narrative:
After reading NOTAM for arrival and making inputs to FMS; etc; missed altitude at revue intersection on chart... No other altitude deviations. Started descent to make next crossing a little early as we had briefed the changes and failed to brief the altitude restrictions that had not been changed. Next time will brief all altitudes even though they were as charted.
