Not as great as Royale...

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2013)

I certainly think this is a worthy and solid addition to the Bond franchise, but a huge disappointment after the fantastic Casino Royale. While there's a lot of action, the story seems rushed together, messy, and even the action sequences lack the tension and rush of the ones from Casino Royale. Saying that however, it's still a pretty fun film for what it's worth. Daniel Craig is better here than in Casino Royale and he's blended in to the role very nicely and has added more gravitas. I do think this one disappointed fans with good reason, and it's definitely just an action film and doesn't feel as mature as Royale, or as the new Skyfall.
