General Thoughts

Rating: 6/10 (29 November 2008)

Casino Royale was a cracker. This wasn't. It tries to live up to Casino Royale but it loses it's way. It's not a bad film and if you were going to line up all the films from the franchise it would probably still rank in the top half but somehow you still leave the cinema feeling a little bit let down.
I also have one major grumble - Director's! STOP using excessive close up shaky cam action shot's. They don't work - look rubbish - distract the audience - and unfortunately this film is full of them.
Daniel Craig is still good value as Bond, though. However it's a definite wait till the DVD which is my advice.
