a disappointment after casino royale

Rating: 6/10 (10 October 2014)

This film is the second of Daniel Craig bond films and after how good the first one was my expectations were high for this film but it does disappoint, it isn't bad but it does disappoint for sure. The film sees bond recovering after the events of the last film while being forced to go after a land owner Dominic Greene to stop a plot to destroy a country. Now Daniel Craig is awesome as bond and once again he does a great job in the role combining the action and smoothness that is required for James bond. The bond girl in this film is not very interesting at all and she didn't really add to the film enough except for her looks. The villain Greene is also not menacing at all and he is actually one of the worst bond villains there has been in my opinion. Judi dench returns as m once again and she does a great job and her chemistry with Craig is really good and is one of the best things about the film. Also mathers returns in this film and even though he doesn't have a huge role in the film he does a good job with what he is given. The story is easily the worst part of the film with the stakes being so low and confusing making this a hard narrative to sit through. The script is okay with the exchanges between bond and m being the best but a lot of his phrases are missing and that is a bit disappointing. The style of the film is good, the action is all spot on and I think this darker tone was a good idea. This film though is a failure but it can be fun and it is better then other films like this.
