Part 2 of my pre-NT2D binge. Part 1 was last night http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...0#pid50320
Halfway already.
This was better than I remember it but I remembered almost none of this, just the the villain was snively and unimpressive, and that the action was shot too wobbly. It’s stronger to see right after CR because it’s a solid continuation - a true sequel in the sense of the Craig arc. There was a teeny smattering or that with Sean, references to earlier films, but this is more of a true sequel. Again, it’s all about Craig as his Bond gets even more dispassionate and merciless.
I forgot Stana Katic was in this. Maybe I didn’t know her then. This was just prior to Castle and she has such a minor role (but still Bond girl qualifying).
I get what tg meant about this having a better flow than CR, but CR is much more entertaining. Crippling this one is the wobbly action cinematography and the lack of a decent villain. Also the ultimate foiled plot is silly. I guess it moved the major story arc along, but not by much. Still enjoyable tho. It’s all about Craig.
Also didn’t really Gemma Atherton was the oil girl. Loved her in Lost in Austin. She made a good Bond girl.
