A lot of anticipation is on this movie this year, after the huge success of Casino Royale. Bond (Craig) is a non-stop, hard-headed man driven by bitter pain and vengeance on a mission to unravel the truth behind the betrayal of the woman he loved, Vesper. Despite M's (Dench) constant plea, Bond finds it almost impossible to avoid making his latest mission personal.
Bond's pursuit brings him to Austria, Italy and South America, where he is introduced to the organization which blackmailed Vesper, and a man called Grenne, conspiring to take total control of one of the world's most important natural resources, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government to profit himself behind a complex and dangerous agenda.
Partly because of the high expectations, this sequel is not a whopping hit for me as compared to the previous instalment. First of all, I did not fancy the way director Marc Forster films all the stunt scenes. They were all too fast, in fact rushed and so disorganized you could hardly follow them. To make a good action movie, you better make the stunts so good the viewers will go "wow", and amazed at how the stunts and special effects are filmed, and not in this case where you could hardly catch any of the stunt scenes to truly appreciate it.
The plot, suspense and X-Factor are also not as great as Casino Royale. Apart from that, Craig is a treat to watch. His brutal persistence in his vengeance is very convincing, got us all feeling his pain. Plus he did all his own stunts! All in all it is still a pretty entertaining movie to watch, just don't get your hopes that high because of previous instalment.
