Fun Stuff

Trivia:
This is the 5th time (behind OHMSS, The Spy Who Loved Me, Octopussy and Casino Royale) that the title song bears no relation to its title. Consequently, this is the first time that two consecutive Bond films does not have a theme song that relates to its title. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Bond calls into MI-6 and he asks for a name check on Dominic Greene, and Bond even spells the name out verbally as to prevent spelling errors. On the hologram screen it starts to get spelled out incorrectly "G-R-W-E" and then is immediately corrected to G-R-E-E-N-E. (This may or may not have been intentional.) more

It's a sequel - and dark as a consequence, 1 November 2008
8/10
Author: Mark Seaman from Yorkshire

Excellent movie, I won't add spoilers, but be aware, it's a sequel to Casino Royale and is necessarily darker in tone. Bond has shut down emotionally as a consequence of Vesper's death and is driven to investigate and, to some extent, avenge her death.

Daniel Craig further extends his takeover of the role, he exudes a sense of sadness with a ruthless drive to move forward with his mission. Mention should be made of Judi Dench - she delivers another excellent performance as M.

Would heartily recommend watching Casino Royale on DVD beforehand if you own it, specifically to prepare and remind yourself of the odd plot point as they certainly will be relevant here.

Bond fans rest assured it's fantastic entertainment. It has to be agreed that it is lacking in old-school quips and innuendo, but in my opinion it is entirely in keeping with Bond's situation in this movie. There are some beautiful locations though, especially in Italy and the Aston looks great, for a little while!

As Bond himself says, "you don't have to worry about me". I'm not worried about the franchise and the third part of this trilogy will be worth looking forward to.
