Going back time. January and February of this year, the making of this film is already much talked about in London. The film was half-finished and the new bond girl having a lot of publicities and to that effect. So I read in the free tube (tube is what the English call their city train.) newspaper daily going to work and a lot of free tabloids after work. Why read them? They are free and I have nothing to read and there's 1 in a million things that can be bought cheap in that great city. I wonder how much more publicity that the film had when I left, perhaps a lot more that's why it's a blockbuster in the U.K.
As I have promised you a review of the movie, I was able to watch it last weekend with my best buddy Luis after an anticipated Mass in greenbelt. I was excited to view this film since the trailer is action packed and the storyline seems much to my liking. The movie starts in a fast paced car chase which is a trademark of the Bond movies, you'll surely hold on to your seats at the twists and turns and innovative effects. Well, there is not much really to expect from the film and I rate it as fair: 3/5 for the great action stunts and funny lines between M and James. The downside of the film in my opinion is the not good enough storyline. Yes, I knew that this is the sequel of Casino Royale but it really doesn't appeal to me. The villain is the leader of an "unknown organization" which is really close to impossible as to having something unknown from all the intelligence that agencies have from the first world countries. There a little twist at the end of the movie that gives it a different ending. Did James had his revenge? I don't want to ruin it for you if you really want to see the movie. But for me, revenge do not appeal to me as I am emotionally unstable these days.
My Verdict:
Thumbs up: Action packed!
Thumbs down: Storyline. :(
