Hard hitting continuation of Casino Royale

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2008)

OK, so let me first say that, without sounding sexist, this is more of a boy's movie, being action-packed pretty much from start to finish. Also, I would say that this and Casino Royale are really two sides of the same coin, so making sure that the events and characters from CR are fresh in your mind will make this film even more enjoyable than it actually is. Incidentally, the only reason that I voted this as a nine rather than a ten is that the camera work in the first 20 minutes or so was a little too close for my liking, resulting in a slightly choppy ride for the viewer. That said, this could have been a tack to draw the viewer in in terms of realism.
This will particularly appeal to the male species circa 12 and upwards. Don't believe the negative reviews - this is as good as it gets!
