Another good action film again.

Rating: 6/10 (20 March 2012)

I don't understand why people say that this film was rubbish. I mean come on compared to other films like moonraker, this film is Hollywood gold. The explosive car chase film at the start really set the scene although, as far as I can tell it was utterly pointless it is one of the best action sequences i've ever seen. The film sets in with the chase for more bad guys from Casino Royale. Bond's tech has gone through the roof but Q really needs to get off his backside and incorporate a couple of Gatling guns and rocket launchers into that lovely Aston Martin DBS. I must admit that the car didn't look so lovely after the sequence but sometimes, in a movie, things need to be sacrificed. The equally beautiful Alfa Romeyo added a touch of class but it should have took the same amount of a beating as the DBS. Craig's Bond was brilliant and vaguely reminded me of Roger Moore but he is no Sean Connery. Next, the storyline was good and for once the fight scenes were well choreographed and were realistic which is needed in films like this. When I say realistic, I mean that it took a good few kicks and punches to knock out/kill the bad guy. Also Bond took a few cuts and bruises which added to the authenticity. The ending was explosive and exciting to say the least and well was the classic compound in flames which should feature in a few more films today.
Overall this film was a satisfyingly good watch and deserves more credit than it is given.
