Bond is back in this direct sequel to Casino Royale, which literally picks up one hour after the last movie left off. Bond is in pursuit of those that blackmailed Vesper Lynd. It leads him to a multi-million dollar environmental organization that has ties to his own government.
OK so I know that my synopsis of the film is pretty flimsy, but it is hard to give more information with out giving too much away. Also unlike previous 007 flicks where we have, action, action, action...slow down and catch the audience up with the plot, action, action, action...throw in a love scene and a few plot hints and then finish off with a tad more action. We are all familiar with the formula-right? But no, this one is just non-stop action and they hope you are paying close enough attention to pick up the few plot points along the way.
I don't know that this was as good as its predecessor, its lack of theme song usage and other certain 007 reliables were a tad offensive to me, nevertheless I particularly enjoyed that most of the film took place in Bolivia--even if it was filmed in Chili. But totally worth seeing on the big screen and speedy enough that one may consider seeing it a second time.
*** Must See
Rated PG-13 (for violence and some sexual content)

Hey Mandy, Are you going to see Twilight? I'll be interested to hear your review!
Ha ha ha ha--I never got past page 90 in the book--just couldn't take it!
I actually read the whole series, ya know, not much else to do when you are stuck in the hospital for 10 weeks. I thought the first 200 pages of the first book were just about unbearable and I wanted to punch Bella, but the other books aren't nearly as bad.
Manders.. I totally thought of you during all the Bolivia scenes. I was entertained by this one but loved the first one with D. Craig more. Loves
